Getting some major Maximillion Strauss vibes from that one.

Hi all! Thought I'd top up the thread with a few new screenshots from the game. There are five main hub areas - each representing one of the five burroughs of NYC. We're currently working on Staten Island:

Depending on who you bring with you to this area, the following scene will play out slightly differently:

Anyway, we haven't done a ton of self-promotion for this yet because we're elbow deep in production. I'm trying to fix that. Any questions about the game, please send a ping my way!

the art looks excellent like usual (shardlight has some really beautiful scenes)

is there any ETA? 2017?

 

[DaveGilbert]

I am guestimating late 2017. I started working full time on it back in March when Shardlight launched and I'm at about the 1/3 mark. This game is one I am writing, versus publishing, which means it will take much much longer to get out than usual! That said, now that we got all the initial design niggles out of the way things are moving ahead MUCH faster. When I begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'll announce a release date.

DaveGilbert I thought Manhattan itself was a borough. Or is that a thing that people do, substitute NYC with Manhattan?

 

[HoboForEternity]

nice, take your time then.

not really related to unavowed, but any games you're publishing anytime soon? really itching for an adventure games.

 

[DaveGilbert]

Not at the moment. Francisco (Golden Wake/Shardlight) is working on something that I will most likely publish when it's done. And Ben (our usual artist) is trying his hand at designing something when he runs out of Unavowed stuff to do. But nothing I can really announce.

Hah. Oops. You are right. I used to live in Manhattan and I fell victim to the usual elitism! Most folks would consider Manhtattan the "real" New York City, but it's really made up of:
Manhattan
Brooklyn
Queens
Bronx
Staten Island

I have dutifully edited the post!

I fucking love Wadget Eye

 

[Starwars]

I'm extremely hyped for this.

 

[DaveGilbert]

I fucking love Wadget Eye

*blush*

 

[MRY]

He was talking about Wadget Eye, not you guys. :D

 

[Blackthorne]

You know, WadgetEye, the creators of the Blackwall Theorem. It's okay.

[DaveGilbert]

Oh right. I heard of them. I think this is their logo:

 

[HoboForEternity]

Wadget eye = illuminati confirmed

Wadjet eye = MJ12

 

[taxalot]

Wadget eye = illuminati confirmed

Wadjet eye = MJ12

That's far fetched conspiracy theory considering the Codex has a thing with jews and Wadjet Eye has a thing called The Shivah.

I fucking love Wadget Eye

I stand by my statement!

Hey DaveGilbert just chiming in to tell you those screenshots are really goddamn pretty

 

[moraes]

Is Abe Goldfarb still doing VOs?

 

[DaveGilbert]

He is indeed! VO isn't his main gig (he's more of a stage guy) but I love working with him. Plus he's one of my oldest friends.

 

[HoboForEternity]

good. abe is awesome

 

[DaveGilbert]

I won't disagree. He's also one of the most highly sought-after burlesque hosts here in NY. If you are ever in town, check out one of his shows!
