8 AM. Holidays, and I went to bed early yesterday. Hungry!

Anyway, when is this Games Convention 2005?

Hmm... more games for the Hype-O-Meter. We need top 15 hypes, not 10!

Hahahah. You'll never know. I could go to see Martin and ask him what the hell Vic or Joy is doing in that pic. But that would most likely spoil some crazy fun.

edit: Oh, man. Today is the 18th! Off to fetch some coffee. Finally.

Not much. Apparently they haven't signed with a publisher yet. One of the six playable characters will be a psychiatrist.

I'm intrigued!

However, in order to create a more dynamic, immersive gameworld, the new game will include many more technical innovations like improved lighting and real-time physics.
Real-time physics? Do they mean realistic physics by that? I'm very curious about how that would work, considering it's a hybrid engine with 2D backgrounds/enviroment.

Sounds like House of Tales is planning to ditch the purist adventure gamers with Overclocked.

Heck! The world's changing, and everyone should move on too...

In a purist's world, there's no such thing as real-time physics? Stoopid! Risible. Ridiculous. Cuckoo. Plain silly. Need I go on?

Yep. They plan lots of technical improvements for the engine, but they also say this isn't going to be a tech demo. The focus is on story and gameplay stuff, not on fog effects.

If you shoot one character down with your shotgun he'll fall in a different as if you'd sabbed him with your ninja sword

Could be. Yesterday I learnt that the only upcoming pure adventure games are Runaway 2 and A Vampyre Story.

Ninjas! Now I'm sure this game can't end up being bad *crosses fingers dinosaurs and femme-bots are included as well*

I think he was doing a lot of writing for another game he's involved in (Verliebt in Berlin) so methinks he's been a busy guy.

What I don't understand is that why can't they just make The Moment Of Silence 2? Such a great game, probably the best I've ever played... Why not continue the story?
