Just a reminder that Beyond Shadowgate, the official sequal to NES Shadowgate, is now available on Steam and GOG.
I really hope you enjoy this love letter to the franchise and hopefully a console port is on the horizon.
i just finished this game and it was amazing!
But i have a couple questions:
1. How did you get involved with beyond Shadowgate? Did Zojoi see your work with infested and spectacle and contact you?
2. I saw that the spooky mansion was named "Themeire mansion" was that going the be the theme of the Themeire game you had planned before you canceled it?
3. any other projects you have planned in the future?
Thanks for playing.
1: That is correct. Zojoi played Infested and Spectacle and messaged me about us working on Beyond Shadowgate.
2: That is also correct. The design notes for Beyond Shadowgate had a blank area between the river and the desert, simply labeled "Ruins, maybe?!?", so I used the mansion found in Themeire, and reworked it to fit into Shadowgate lore. So the swamp and mansion were lifted directly from our defunct game.
3: We're working up post-production on Beyond Shadowgate (patches, feedback changes, additional options, possible console porting, etc.) and then we'll be beginning work on another project with Zojoi, that will be announced in a couple months :D
