A couple of podcasts Dan and I recorded about all the cancelled Dan And Ben 3s, and the thinking behind this new one.

* Mandle initiates a group hug.

This is a forum mostly for fledgling amateur game designers who either wish to dabble for fun or to test their wings to go on to bigger things.

Most who do the latter have already left but some still hang around as community members.

The modding of this forum is probably the most level-headed I have ever seen in a casual online forum, and I've been on community boards since 1999 when I first got the internet. I've never seen anyone actually banned here but on every other forum I've been on bans were just the norm. You saw at least one or two every week, permanent or not.

Of course not everyone can resist a snipe now and then, but we are all adults and does it really harm us when one is taken at us as long as it's not too personal or deliberately meant as bullying?

* Mandle closes the group hug

(You don't want those things going on until someone coughs)

I didn't want to bump that other thread, but I liked Mandle's idea of a group hug!

I'm all for healthy criticism of the forums or politely calling people out if they step over a line, but there's some poisonous negativity getting spewed at the moment so I don't think a nice positive thread will hurt any.

Thanks and hugs to everyone on here who is friendly and supportive and fun. Feel free to share some positivity and get in on the hug!

* Ben retroactively gets in on the group hug

Someone is remaking FoA in Wintermute with the intention of sending it to Disney on spec:

Hi all,

I co-wrote and co-designed Ben There, Dan That! and Time Gentlemen, Please!, and I just released a silly little interactive comedy story. Play it (and replay it!) for free here:

Note: dying regularly is part of the fun - just restart and take a different path!

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.

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend works at UK-German Connection, an organisation dedicated to increasing contacts and understanding between young people in the UK and Germany.

They just opened a Twitter account and so I said I'd #ff them for her. But then I realised that adventure gaming is pretty big in Germany and amongst young people, so it might be helpful to people if I plug the organisation here.

If you're a UK or German youth (8-18ish) interested in improving your language skills or making social links, or if you know of any, or are involved in that arena (eg teaching), take a look:
