Independent Q&As

  • A Vampyre Story
    The A Vampyre Story Q&A on Jolt.co.uk talks with Bill Tiller of Autumn Moon about A Vampyre Story, their upcoming poynt-and-click adventure. Along the way Bill suggests the game will benefit from his pedigree: "Well I, learned games design at Lucas Arts, so AVS will probably feel very much like Lucas Arts game. I would say more like monkey island than Broken Sword."
  • Champions Online
    Meet the Team: Brian Gilmore on the Champions Online Official Website is another Q&A introducing another member of Cryptic's development team on their upcoming superhero MMORPG.

Out of the Blue

Happy Independence Day! It's a bit rainy around here, and I feel a bit guilty hoping this quells the fireworks for the sake of Hudson the wonder dog's rattled nerves, since kids enjoy the festivities so much. I doubt it makes much difference, though, as even if the rain becomes heavy enough to quash anything today, any leftover munitions will surely get used over the days that follow.
