The 7th Guest creator working on new adventure game
Just read that Graeme Devine, the creator of The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour is working on a new adventure! I loved both games so I’m really looking forward to this: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/119282-The-7th-Guest-Creator-Says-Games-Focus-on-Profit-Not-Fun
The Trilobyte co-founder (responsible for The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour) also claimed to be working on an adventure game to challenge the micro-transaction mindset and to move away from the staple genres of first-person shooters and RPGs. “I want to make an adventure game that crosses media ... that lives in books, comics, albums, as well as a ‘classic’ game,” he said, with a focus on the player being the hero, rather than the player controlling another character on the screen.
Seems like an interesting project!

This is good news. Loved both games, especially deliciously infuriating puzzles
It is interesting what he said about the player being the hero - I’d like to know more about what he means by that.

Sounds like first-person to me.
If it’s even remotely like The 7th Guest or The 11th Hour, then I’ll probably like it. Despite those games having little or no story, I loves me a good puzzle…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
I just downloaded the 7th guest for Scummvm, along with several others, it’s the next one i’m going to play once I complete day of the tentacle!
Graeme devine has recently been interviewed by Matt Chat on youtube. Part 1 is now available, and discusses his early work. Later parts will discuss the 7th guest and the 11th hour, and hopefully his new plans for an adventure game.
Max: Right! We’ll travel through this dimensional portal on the top of the bar!
Sam: That’s spilled beer, rockhead.
Max: Oh in that case ...
