Any news of Bracken Tor or The Last Crown?
Jonathan Boakes’ games are “right up my street” and The Lost Crown is my favourite adventure game ever. We all know that things can happen in game development but this really is getting silly now. Every statement he’s made over the last several years about the next game’s progress has turned out to be wrong and I do feel that he isn’t able to say “that’s it, this game is finished, any other ideas will be for another game”. Midnight Horror was clearly just an out-take and the bottom line is that he hasn’t released a full game since Dark Fall 3 in 2009. His Twitter and blog have seen no updates for several months now. As a lover of his games I hate to sound so negative, but you can only stretch people’s patience so far, and I just wish he’d say something, anything, which turns out to be true for once.
Completely agree. Like I said in a previous post, last Halloween he gave the impression the game was done and wasn’t released due to commercial reasons. What changed betwee then and now? I think he should perhaps think about taking an intense course on project management or I fear this game may never be released.
Maybe there’s a connection between not taking management courses and making good adventure games.
I’ve directly tweeted him, sent a Faceache® message and shy of travelling four thousand thousand miles to his front door even directly e-mailed him (has email from previous correspondence) and got nary a whisper since he went dark. This does not bode well.
The planchette and the Ouija board may be next… /s
edit: I sound slightly stalkerish…? I promise I’m just bored.

Let’s make this a challenge. I had The Last Crown on my wish list in 2012 because it would be released that year. I bet he can make us wait four years longer. Let’s come back here in 2020 and see that nothing has changed, shall we?

Crap. I’ll still buy it though…

Takes me back to 2010, when I pre-ordered Bracken Tor…
Fond memories.

I for one am certainly looking forward to downing my knitting needles and wheeling up to my personal computer in 2050 to boot up Bracken Tor for the first time, with a nice cup of tea.

I’ll be 102 years old in 2050. The bad news is that personal computers won’t be around anymore. Maybe virtual reality will still be available for senior citizens who haven’t kept up with the latest gadgets…?

Let’s first wait until 2020 for The Last Crown then . But I think Bracken Tor in 2050 is a realistic although a little optimistic estimation. I’d love to be around to play it by then! There will definitely be no petrol stations in that one! Unless it’s set in the past of course .
Bump. We’re only a month and a half away from Halloween. Mr. Boakes??

I’m not sure I’d cope with a Boakes game in VR. Brrrrr.

It won’t be released around Halloween based on his comments from last year, so I’m afraid Christmas is probably the best we can hope for.
Boakes seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, no sign of him anywhere, no tweets, facebook messages, nothing. Worrying.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa
Worrying indeed. Hopefully nothing bad happened to him.
It’s alive!
