When it comes to point'n'click games (which there must be other die-hard text fans that enjoy), the Broken Sword series are among the best out there. So I was immensely pleased to see that the series was
getting a fifth entry via Kickstarter. The project is already in the black, so it's going forward and looking very promising. Any money beyond the immediate target is used to expand the game. Anybody else supporting this?
(In the meantime, another golden oldie, Wings, has
tested the Kickstarter waters and failed epically. Maybe they should have dispensed with the bimbo from the presentation video? )
On the Broken Sword page,
Charles Cecil (who began his career with the Artic text adventures) talks about a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky, which I'd
love to see. The original is one of the best point'n'click games from the 90's. Bring it on!
