On Starting Over

Adventure games! That's what I set out to do a few years ago, but with the setback of Kickstarter only reaching half of my goal last year, I switched gears momentarily. I needed something simple to put out on Google Play.  I couldn't look at Europa 2022 anymore without seeing some type of failure; whether on my end in not promoting it well enough, or on my end (also) in not making a game appealing to enough people.

(Note: I'm not saying I'll never go back to Europa; it could very well be the next project I work on down the line. After all, I have a ton of assets and poured a lot of time and money into making half of that game, and I still love space!)

It's tough to get over a wall like that, so I walked away from adventure games for a few months. Now with Broken Age, Moebius, Broken Sword 5, and The Wolf Among Us all sitting in my play list, I'm ready for more adventure games!

And so now, I'm announcing "The Haunting of Willow Hill"!  A first-person, 3D, "whodunit", point-n-click adventure game for Google Play (and probably other as-of-yet unannounced platforms)!  It's only a month into development at this point, so I'll keep details scarce for now, but I'll be dropping screen-shots and updates in the comings weeks and months.

Here's a little teaser screenshot.

See you soon!
