If Gary and I ever make a new Maniac Mansion, I think it's time for an appearance of the long lost brother: Red Tentacle.

Red Tentacle? I'm in. I'm so in.

Today I spent all day coding one of the most insignificant frivolous details of my game. Nobody will know it's there, but I will.

Fuck yes. Been following this forever. And this looks really good. Still no release date yet.

Looks nice but I would have liked to see a little more interaction with the environment, such as the computer terminals, etc.

^^

it's looking too much of a hiking simulator :/

I personally dislike of games where you don't have any characters to interact with, so I'm biased.



Jaesun did you try JULIA?

I haven't, but it was also sci-fi with that POV/Myst type of feel I think.

Jaesun did you try JULIA?

No I have not (it IS on my list of games to eventually play). Will pick up that enhanced version (that they did with a KS) when it comes out.

This just makes me want to play a point-and-click Solaris.

We're giving away 5 free copies of Lost Chronicles of Zerzura, just because we CAN (courtesy of Viva Media): http://bit.ly/12bsDcR

Prominence, though good looking, seems like nothing more than an updated Myst in a new environment.

I think I prefer the concept/prototype art to the final HD 3D stuff. Will have to see it in motion though I guess.

Not sure if posting about AGS freebies is a good idea, but this recent one looks and sounds pretty good, and it's made by a fellow Potatolander, so

The Bum

The game tells a story of a homeless man who communicates with the world using an old sock on his right hand. He's a huge football fan and plays it a lot near his backalley. One day he gets mugged by a wandering bully and looses his precious ball in the process. Now he must pull himself together, team up with a local superhero, find a new ball and confront his oppressor again.

I've started playing this one and I'm having fun. (currently stuck though *ggrrrr*)

I recommend it.

ScummVM 1.6.0 just came out with support for some new adventures and a bunch of other stuff.

New Games:
3 Skulls of the Toltecs
Eye of the Beholder
Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon
Hopkins FBI
Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths
The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime

The EoB game support seems weird but it's apparently because they use the same engine as supported adventures and it was simpler to support them than to exclude them.

Something interesting is brewing from two French comic artists calling themselves Atelier Sentô.

The Coral Cave is a 2D point & click adventure game. It will be entirely handmade in watercolors and will feature lots of animations, characters, backgrounds and puzzles.

The player controls a little Japanese girl named Mizuka who lives on a small remote island, in the Okinawa archipelago.
One night, she has a strange dream. When she wakes up, a terrible danger is threatening her village.
Mizuka must explore the surroundings and enter a mysterious spirit world in order to save her island.

Looks fantastic, will keep an eye on this.

I think I missed this one if it's already been mentioned, it's called Harvest, it's Sci-fi and has some of that crime fiction Blade Runner vibe. Pitch vid didn't grab me that much but maybe some of you will like it.
