I was about to post this in the Blackwell Epiphany thread, as there's a pretty big bit of info about the game/series in there, but it's not a game-specific interview so I'll pop it here.

That was a good and interesting read :). Thanks for sharing bbx1138 (former Ben X :=).
Great interview. Especially the little revelation at the end. Didn't see that coming!
Though I very nearly didn't make it past the introduction. "Adventure games [...] died". Zzzzz.

Yes, it's little boring in the start. Upon reading the death of AG I were about to roll my eyes but I'm grateful that I read past that part. :)
Hah. I hoped he would leave that revelation out of the interview, but oh well!
Yeah, Blackwell Epiphany will be the last Blackwell game. :)

The last *cough cough* official *cough cough* Blackwell game.
Spoiler
Ten years in the future:
- Hi, I am a newbie here I just found AGS and I want to know how to make a Blackwell fan game
(laugh)
There will always be Crackwell.
Good interview, thanks for posting!
Very informative and interesting. It's nice to get in the heads of those who are successful among us.
Good stuff. Interesting to see how their AGS to iPad push works out.
Somehow I'm just really sceptical on whether or not the market really is there.

Oops, sorry Dave! I assumed since it was still in there and you posted it on Facebook you were okay with it! Did you ask him to leave it out?
Yeah but I wasn't so obvious about it. No big deal, though. I've mentioned the possibility in a few other interviews so it's not like it was such a huge secret. :)
