Ive been a big fan of the Journeyman Project series ever since I played Turbo which came with my Packard Bell sometime in 1995 give or take. I've later played all four games (including Pegasus Prime).

Being an big fan of the series, I checked up on wikipedia to see if anything new is going on with the series, let alone Presto Studios.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jou...man_Chronicles

I saw that a bunch of fans (Vigilant EC) are remaking the Journeyman series for next gen gaming. On January 12, they had a press release with a sneak peak at the concept work and the release of the feature list. Here are some highlights:

• Immerse yourself in an adventure game world where you have full control. Unlike the previous games (Turbo, Pegasus Prime) the camera will stay in your control. No more clunky interface, no more annoying AI that stops the game world just to annoy you, and no more limitations!
• ...
• Unlockable Secrets and Achievements. Search for Easter Eggs, Disarm the Morimoto Mars Bomb within 1 minute, Avoid using Violent Methods throughout the Game and purchase unlockable items in the E-Shopping Network.

You can check out there site at http://www.vigilantec.com/home.php

Anyone else here a fan of the series?

PS: Sorry if this has been posted before.

BTW, a good source of information (in case someone at all is interested in this barren thread) is in there forums.

Cool! Their site is back up!

I had links to their old site, but it went down. I didn't realize they were still working on it. Awesome news.

Thanks for posting this.

As a fan of the series since I first laid eyes on an Apple Performa, I've been cautiously optimistic about the Vigilant EC project since 2007ish. If you haven't already, check out the making of Buried in Time on Presto's archived site.

Awesome. Buried in Time has been my favorite game of the series, but seeing the intentions of this project, Turbo or Pegasus Dawn might be my new favorite game of the series.

I really sincerely doubt that this will ever be finished.

I really hope your wrong. I usually think that a remake project backed by ex-company members would actually succeed.

HAHAHA! Yeah,I remember looking forward to that game. What dissappointment.

Look at leisure Suit Larry, its still going on (sure its a pile of shit game compared to the originals).

I still have faith with these people.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

As far as I know, the project was (and probably still is) authorized by Presto Studios, as I know that Tommy Yune was at one point talking about it, and I think he's the one who currently maintains the Presto Studios site.

Leisure Suit Larry is a commercially-backed series under strict deadlines though. This is just a fan project.

Space Quest 7 was a fan project too. At least the one I'm referencing, anyway.

When did this happen? I take it wen over too from what I've read.

[kadji-kun]

Woh. A jmc thread?

Good place to post then. A heads up. We got an interview coming along to be released this month. Look forward for some exclusives.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Yay! A person from Vigilantec! w00t!

[ozzie]

This sounds amazing!
I never played the Journeyman games so I can't say that I'm excited, but it would be cool for a uninitiated like me to experience them in a modern version!
I should check out the old ones anyway.

I definately hope that all goes well to you.

[kadji-kun]

I just completed some logos for the project and need fans and adventure gamers to crit on the showcase.

I would like you guys to pick your favorite, also supply your post with suggestions/crits or if you think its perfect as it is.

You can either post in the forum or you can post your answer here.

All help is GREATLY appreciated.

Awesome, I really like the first one. Has a very ornate look to it. Very nice.

[MusicallyInspired]

Nice! I enjoyed the first Journeyman. I still have yet to play the other two (which I own but haven't gotten around to yet). Awesome stuff. Journeyman would be great with next-gen graphics.
