Since enough work has actually been completed on the game now to merit a GiP thread, here's some information for:

Ben Jordan, Paranormal Investigator - Case 8: Relics of the Past

Things are not looking good for Ben Jordan. His best friend is dead, his girlfriend is missing, and his last ally has betrayed him. However, as bleak as things look, all is not lost. In this, the surprising final chapter of the series, Ben will learn the truths hidden in the past and the present, which he will use to finally confront the madman threatening his future.

Screenshots:

Reunite with old friends - and angrily confront them!

Drown your sorrows at the local pub!

Features:
- Fully voiced and lip-synced!
- Play as Ben Jordan and a second mystery character!
- The longest (and the last) Ben Jordan game ever!

Two short teasers for the game can be seen here and here

This looks nice. One thing though, and you probably know this - youtube is very wierd about using songs in videos, so get an original soundtrack in there as soon as possible so the video doesn't get pulled or forbidden in some countries (they send you an email about it if it gets flagged).
The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

All this time spent working on it, and by August you only plan to have a trailer released?

How's it feel to be the Duke Nukem Forever of homemade adventure games?

Great stuff we're all waiting with expectations.

So by the end of August the game itself will be released?  Right?  PLEASE!

I was just thinking about this the other day. Glad to hear this has a release date, although for some reason I was expecting it in 2012 due to the crazy theories about the year. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store, and if I'm right on who the mystery player character is, then I'm already grinning.  :=

Devise the puzzles. Destroy the hero. Defeat the player.

This comment about one of the very few AGSers who manages to make full length, quality adventure games and release them on a regular basis, doing almost everything all by himself?

That's not a very accurate or fair metaphor!  :=

So this will be the ultimatum? No more Ben Jordan after 8?

Maybe he could at least pass on his supernatural mysteries pants to his oldest son (or daughter)?
