Ten years in business! :o

Dave Gilbert · Fri 20/05/2016 16:47:34

June 1st will mark the 10 year anniversary of when I sat down to make The Shivah, our first commercial game. I decided to do a little victory lap and commission a piece of artwork to commemorate the occasion:

This includes every player characters from every one of our games that we wrote or published. All the successes, all the flops, everything in between, all together.

Thanks to everyone on this forum. Even though I don't post often anymore, this place has always been our foundation.

Ten frigging years. An exhausting prospect, but a satisfying one. Here's to ten more!

-Dave, feeling old

Many congratulations, Dave!

I've spent the last few years catching up with most of Wadjet Eye's stuff and every single one of your games has been worthwhile in one way or another. Looking forward to whatever the future may bring. Keep on being amazing

Congrats!

Impressive mate, well done - and I hope other members of the AGS community will be able to post similar messages in years to come.

Congratulations! Quite an impressive line-up you have collected during the years

Haggis · Fri 20/05/2016 18:22:18

Congratulations, what an adventurous array of characters!

Congrats to you and the team!

Though I haven't played all your games, your company has always been an inspiration to me.

I also like that the person doing a lot of your backgrounds seems to love the BaSS art style as much as I do.

And here's to plenty more years ahead!!

Fitz · Fri 20/05/2016 20:58:39

Yes! Another ten years, and then another! Just don't go all corporate and sell out to Disney (after ditching the genre that the gamers loved you for in favor of that one obscure IP that suddenly exploded in popularity)

Dave Gilbert · Fri 20/05/2016 21:00:04

Oh, I'm totally willing to sell out. Only problem is that nobody is buying yet.

Mandle · Fri 20/05/2016 23:27:17

Massive congratulations!!!

As someone who has similar dreams, you and your company are a constant source of inspiration.

Not to mention my deep love for all things Blackwell!

Keep on keeping on!!!

Achievement Unlocked!

Congrats Dave!

Congrats to 10 successful years in the business!

Danvzare · Sat 21/05/2016 09:52:30

Congratulations to ten successful years.
Here's hoping for another ten!

Congratulations!

Ali · Sat 21/05/2016 13:08:18

What an achievement!

I look forward to 2026, when you go back and do VR remasters of your back catalogue. (And we purists get angry and start doing fan de-makes in the style of Bestowers of Eternity.)

So, congrats, old dude. I wouldn't be here, cluttering up the forum, except for the Blackwell series. Curious regarding what you consider to be your "flops?"

Stupot · Sat 21/05/2016 13:54:35

There were flops? Surely you mean fops?

Anyway, all the best on your 10th anniversary. You are a great inspiration
