Mystery Game X - Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, 20th Anniversary Edition
Theyr “slated to ship” mystery game x in december? And robert has 30 recorded songs? No doubt about it in my mind, its a remake/re-release of Gk1, with re-recorded music. Theres no way they could have anything else ready this fast. Theyv been working on this at most, for about 5 months… its not going to be a brand new game, sorry.
Lots of suspicion about Telltale being involved with a GK remake/upgrade. I think if that’s the case they’ll do right by the GK name, but I haven’t been thrilled with much of Telltale’s work (BttF, ToMI, JP), but most people praise their Sam & Max games as long as TWD. As long as Jane is involved, I’m not worried.
Probably Gabriel Knight related: Someone wrote a comment on Facebook: “Gabriel Knight lives!”, and Jane responded: “Yes, it does ;-)”
Recently finished: Four Last Things 4/5, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout 5/5, Chains of Satinav 3,95/5, A Vampyre Story 88, Sam Peters 3/5, Broken Sword 1 4,5/5, Broken Sword 2 4,3/5, Broken Sword 3 85, Broken Sword 5 81, Gray Matter 4/5\nCurrently playing: Broken Sword 4, Keepsake (Let\‘s Play), Callahan\‘s Crosstime Saloon (post-Community Playthrough)\nLooking forward to: A Playwright’s Tale
Another status update, and another assurance that mystery game x is being released in december. Whatever it is, i continue to be amazed that its coming out so soon.
If you have a complete design document, an engine, and a good team-you can get a game out pretty quickly.
The problem comes in that a good design document can take months to get right…
I would assume that JJ had these documents already put together a while ago before embarking on her kickstarter campaign!
I’m also surprised the publisher won’t let them go ahead and announce the game. What are they waiting for?

Most people seems to assume that the game development started exactly when Jane first mentioned it to the “public”. It can in fact have gone in production way before that.

its a safe assumption. Mid-kickstarter jane told people she entered talks with a publisher and fingers were crossed but nothing was guaranteed. It was some weeks after that the good news was announced that the publisher decided to back “mystery game x.”
They dont develop their own games, they outsource. So theres no way they were outsourcing work on this before they had any idea if theyd get the finances for it.

Isn’t it the mysterious publisher that is financing Mystery Game X? It wasn’t until rather recent that Jane could confirm that the backers actually will be able to get this game due to their Pinkerton Road subscription.
It might still be as you assume but I’m not taking it for granted.

If (and that’s a big if) it’s anything GK related, I’m going for an adventure of a young Wolfgang Ritter.
Or a game adaptation of “Dante’s Equation”?

Now that would be awesome. Or an adaptation of Millennium Rising (Judgment Day).
yeah.. one of her other books as a game would fit all the clue criteria. I remain very skeptical they could make it materialize so quickly though. I also doubt a big publisher would jump on anything but an established videogame name. So my bet is still a gk1 remake… And even still, its odd.
EDIT: well, now, wait a minute. I just read the october update and it said this: “MGX—Voice over and mocap is done, now the devs are plowing through game logic and putting the pieces together.”
They’re using motion capture??? Geez… the suspense grows…
If it was anything to do with GK Jane would have said months ago.
It’s not Jane’s call. There’s a publisher involved.
Think about why a publisher would be involved. I think it’s safe to conclude that this is an existing IP that Jane doesn’t own the rights too; that’s the only reason to work with a publisher. And if it’s an existing IP, I think we all know what it is.
It’s not Nancy Drew.
