Progress is still...progressing. I'm shooting for a late September/early October release.

FYI, an abridged copy of The Paranormal Investigator's Handbook by Professor Q. Sanbourne will be included with each copy of Case 3.

Great! The first two cases were pretty nice, and this looks like as if it will be better than each of them ^_^

Keep up the good work!

So what excactly is the Paranormal Investigator's Handbook?

[Cameron] · Sun 22/08/2004 09:39:06

It's the, uh... Handbook for... Paranormal Investigators.

It's a UFO detector.

The Paranormal Investigator's Handbook is the publication that Ben Jordan ordered which started him off on his career.

It's also the game's documentation, and will provide background information on the paranormal phenomenon you're investigating, as well as offer some subtle clues.

I am looking forward to this game and BAD!

I know that bg music...what is it?

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 29/08/2004 21:04:02

it's music by Ghormak

ghostface · Sun 29/08/2004 21:09:22

ok...has it been in any games before...i.e., his games?

UP · Mon 30/08/2004 16:34:50

Yeah, I remember that too.. Somehow reminds me of BASS... I know it's from some game...

viktor · Mon 30/08/2004 21:03:28

wasn't this music in the simon the sorcerer 2?

edmundito · Mon 30/08/2004 23:33:28

nope... unless ghormak stole it like picasso

Ghormak · Tue 31/08/2004 18:36:20

If it was stolen, some awesome telepathic extravaganza must have taken place, as I have never played and/or listened to Simon the Sorcerer 2.

UP · Thu 02/09/2004 13:00:29

I haven't played Simon the Sorcerer, but I know it's in some game... Or am I just imagining? Does Ghormak know anÃ½thing about this?

GarageGothic · Thu 02/09/2004 20:34:53

Or could it be the old "If you put a million monkeys at a million midi keyboards you'll get the music from Simon the Sorcerer"-theory? Or perhaps the answer involves a magic wardrobe? Actually I thought the piano parts had more of a GK1-like feel to them, but either way it's great music.

Anyway, the first two games were awesome - and that this one is longer makes me even more excited. I hope that the mystery will have more substance as well - a longer game probably won't get away with a Scooby Doo-ending like in BJ1, and in BJ2 the focus was more on getting there than the actual goal. Keep the humor, by all means, but it would be cool if you could get us more involved in the spooky goings-on rather than just using it as an excuse for a series of go-there-fetch-this puzzles.

It sounds and looks awesome. With the exception of Blair Witch, witches are really unmined territory in movies and mystery games. I mean, the King's Quest games always had witches, but they were the fairy tale kind, and "realistic" games involving magic(k) have gone the way of Voodoo and Satanism. I'd love to see your take on it - the setting does bring Macbeth to mind. I'm really looking forward to this - and unlike so many other project, my own included, I know that it will be finished. Does the audio trailer mean that the game will have voices?

By the way, where WOULD you get that many monkeys?
