Himalaya Studios' first game announced

I was psyched to see this news item! I have been waiting for these guys to do an original game for a long time. The screenshots look great, too.

I think the team has proven what they're capable of with the KQ remakes (and the upcoming QfG2!) and I'm so glad to see they're going on to do what they always said they'd do... original games.

I've known about this for a wile, i read about it on some other forum. but thanks for the update! i didn't know that there were screen shot available. i think it's cool that their using 3D caricatures in a cartoony 2D background.

The screenshots actually remind me a little of the art in KQ7 and Torin's Passage...

They initially announced the formation of Himalaya Studios something like a year and a half ago, but revealed almost no details about what their first project would be. After about 6 months their site seemed to be dead. I visited the site about a month ago, wondering if there was any news, and there was no content, new or otherwise, to be seen. Then a few weeks later I saw their publicity thread on the AGS forums, and their all-new site design (with details about their game!). Way to keep us in suspense, guys

I am very intrigued about this game, even more so than Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure. Why? Becuase the game is a Western, and you get to play a Middle-Aged Character, and that sounds very refreshing and original to me. I liked the screenshots, too, they almost looked like 2D Quality.

This is definitely a game that I'm looking forward to playing, and I hope to learn some more news about this soon.

Btw, it's been years since I played Faust, and that game featured a Middle-aged Black man who was the lead hero. So, please don't tell me about any other games that feature a middle-aged Character. I already know about one certain game, thank you.
