GameDevBrit · 06-26-2006, 06:06 PM

Hi guys!

We are gearing up to release the Al Emmo demo later in the week. We are also getting ready to release the official "Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine website"!

We have several banners promoting the game, and if you'd like to show your support, I'd appreciate it if you could add a banner to your website, blog, myspace account, signature or any other online presence you have. If you know of anyone else who enjoys classic style adventure games, please pass these banners on to them as well. Have fun with them!

Thanks!

That website splash page shouts ADVENTURE!

eriq · 06-26-2006, 08:45 PM

WOOOO! I CAN'T WAIT!

lol.

***fov*** · 06-26-2006, 08:50 PM

Congrats on being so close to release, Britney (et al). You must be so excited! (I know I am!

)

Fans of story-driven games are in store for a real treat with this one.

swordfish · 06-26-2006, 11:01 PM

I'm sooooooo looking forward to this game! The wait is killing me but great news about the demo coming soon

Len Green · 06-27-2006, 03:10 AM

A real treat in store for 'classic' Quest/Adventure lovers!

MoriartyL · 06-27-2006, 03:45 AM

The site tells me nothing, of course. What is this "Al Emmo" of which you speak?

Hint, hint, nudge nudge.

MoriartyL · 06-27-2006, 04:06 AM

Okay, I read the first preview. None of it sounds particularly amazing, but I guess if all you want is the Sierra style, it could be enough.

Dasilva · 06-27-2006, 05:10 AM

Most people are excited because these guys brought us 2 amazing remakes that rival the old classics, KQ1 & 2. Top notch quality. This looks quite good.

MoriartyL · 06-27-2006, 05:12 AM

Oh, okay.

Depends on your tastes, I guess, but to say someone will only like it if "all you want is the Sierra style" is doing the game a huge disservice. It has a great story, very entertaining humor, clever puzzles, and did I mention the great story?

The Sierra(ish) style is a framework, sure, but it's hardly what defines this game.

MoriartyL · 06-27-2006, 07:38 AM

Okay- what does define this game? You've said it's a western- I got that. But that's not exactly unique in itself. What's the story about?

Toefur · 06-27-2006, 08:43 AM

I am looking forwards to reviewing this game.

I wonder what it's actually like...

Aurebesh · 06-27-2006, 09:50 AM

What a great game. best adventure I played in years.

***fov*** · 06-27-2006, 11:26 AM

Were you a beta tester?

Len Green · 06-27-2006, 11:44 AM

I'm interested??

No "Aurebesh" in the credits (but only 'proper names' there'), nor on the special 'beta-testers-only' Forum where pretty well all the testers used nicknames!!

Len Green · 06-28-2006, 02:26 AM

Amongst MANY magnificent features (too many to list here), the voice acting and lip synching of the large number of characters is superb. It's years since I've encountered such a high standard.

In addition, this large number of varied 'NPC's are not just cardboard cutouts who are there just to serve as foils for the (anti-)hero. They are all living, breathing individuals who actively participate in the game, and who you identify with!!

swordfish · 06-28-2006, 03:06 AM

It's wednesday already. When is the demo coming!? Hopefully very, very soon! Maybe tomorrow?
