Wow.
I have something to wait for !!!
I’ve known about them from quite some time now, but they’s finally opened up their website today !
Bad Brain Entertainment gives hope for the revival of the adventure game genre.
They have a line of several upcoming games that they are going to publish, 3 of which are old style point and click adnventure games.
A Vampyre Story: looks like a comedic monkey-island-3 styled adventure game.
i-jeta multiplayer point and click adventure game (!!!) if the can pull this off, it’s gonna be awsome !
I had an idea myself to do something like what they’re describing. Too bad i didn’t have a relatively complete design and some credit, and that noone actually bought MY idea. which I had… Maybe on one of my next idead.
and… The Orgastic Four A 70’s style point and click sexual adventure game. can anyone say “Larry” ???
Like i said, don’t invent the wheel, just improve it.
There also have been a lot of rumors (including in THEIR OWN WEBSITE) about them purchasing the rights to publish Sam and Max 2 (instead of Lucasarts).
I’m guessing good ol’ George is too busy with the finishing of Episode III he doesn’t really have the time to nurture his gaming company. I’m also guessing this might change in a few years.
Other then finding a few typos in their “only up for day” website, i’m really excited about their company, and that a publisher has the guts to stand up and invest in adveture games in spite the industry’s gaming situation. I’m so glad someone is willing to take the risk needed to do something that he thinks is right, and i hope that by doing the right thing, he’ll also make a lot of money.
I suggest any adventure gamers among my audience of blog readers to read this interview with their CEO :
An interview with Wolfgang Kierdorf of Bad Brain.
Good luck bad brain !
