A Golden Wake to be published to Wadjet Eye
Was looking into what is next to Wadjet Eye and they are going to publish A Golden Wake, a game by the creator of the Ben Jordan series.
Setting looks promising:
The Roaring Twenties. The Jazz Age. Prohibition.
For Alfie Banks, a young real estate salesman from New York recently relocated to Miami, it is a time of great opportunity.
Set against the backdrop of the Florida Land Boom of the 1920s, A Golden Wake is a story of an innocent man’s descent into greed and corruption, and his eventual redemption.
Based on actual events and featuring real life locations and historical figures, you must guide Alfie on his journey to reach the top of the real estate game as he deals with shady salesmen, cutthroat bootleggers, corrupt politicians, and much more, all while swept up in the events surrounding the inception of Coral Gables, The City Beautiful.

Dave Gilbert tweeted a teaser trailer is coming this week.
I saw a preview of this at GDC, and played a little - it’s delightful.

This looks awesome!

I’ve just recently watched all of Boardwalk Empire, so a game like this is really going to fill my craving for something like this.
1920’s is criminally underused perioid in games. And Ben Jordan games are pretty decent, so this already has two thigs going for it.
It is Wadjet Eye. I can’t remember if they ever published a game I didn’t love. The setting looks really intriguing already.
I have been looking forward to this game for a long time now. I love the previous Ben Jordan games by Grundislav, especially the last four of them. If you have not played them, suggest you do. They are free. There are 8 of them in total, the first 3 or 4 are pretty mediocre, but the rest are really good.

This is best plot premise i have come across since (that monochrome game involving Insurance company forgot the name).
I hope VAs are as good as Primordia or GeminiRue.
Didn’t like Resonance ones.
Great share.
Teaser trailer is up:
Looking very good, Fall 2014 is not too far.
Seems less dark than Resonance (IMO the best Wadjet Eye game thus far), Gemini Rue or Primordia. More colourful palette too.
This looks like so much fun!

Hello!
I saw this thread a while ago, but it must have slipped through the cracks and I never chimed in.
I’ve had a great time making this game and am extremely excited to get it out very soon (late September/early October, in fact!) Hopefully you’ll all enjoy it!
There’s a small roundup of previews as well as some music samples on my blog, so if you’re interested, you can check those out here.

From preview,
The constant throughout all these story strands is the excellent writing, the one aspect that an adventure game lives or dies by.
The voice acting doesn’t disappoint either; the excellent dialogue is all delivered with the right amount of pathos and/or levity in all the correct places.
Basically this, i hope you nail it, looking forward to play this.
If you can share some voice acting samples that would be cool.
Here’s one!
