So I played and loved Ben Jordan Case 8 - did you too? You can read my detailled opinion about the game in the review section of this site. Now tomorrow I'm off to a short vacation, but next week I'll give you some new infos about the status FCotW2. See you then!
So tomorrow's the big day when Ben Jordan Case 8 is finally released. Wow, I can't believe that the wait is almost over. :) I'm very excited to play through the game and finally discover the answers to all the open questions, but I can't help but feel I'll be a bit sad when it is all over. It really is the end of an era. Anyways, I will put online a detailed report about my experience playing the game, probably some time next week, but in the meantime you can already read my retrospective of the series so far. You'll find it in the new Reviews section of this site. So happy playing all you other Ben Jordan fans out there - see you on the other side!
Who woud have thought, I managed to finish my big Ben Jordan retrospective in time! Now I just need to do some formatting, add some screenshots and publish them all once BJ8 is finally released next week. Hurray!
Of course, my focus on these reviews together with a very busy time at work and even on the weekends means that I didn't manage to put any work in FCotW2 lately. But oh well, my vacation is almost there and I can't wait to dig into it again. I've also gotten a few ideas for some short games in a different style recently. I might try my hands on one of these after FCotW2 has been released. It should help me improving my game maing skills and let me get another quick game out there before I return my focus to FCotW3. Wesray here, with another quick update.
It was another productive weekend, with a new screen that I've planned for a very long time now almost done. I'm currently working on a location for one of the two alternative paths in the game by the way. Somehow frustrating to think that only half of the players finishing my game might even see it. Still, I think it will be worth it, as it helps the replayability, and hey, there WILL be a hidden way to finish both alternative paths in the same game. Won't be easy though. ;-) I've also began writing my promised reviews of the Ben Jordan series. Didn't realize I have so much to say about them! :-) Currently there are several options on how I could publish them: 1) One review each day starting Monday, May 30th, leading up to the release of BJ8. 2) All 10 reviews in one big patch on August 8th, to celebrate the release of BJ8. For both option 1 and 2, a BJ8 review would be added later, once I'm done playing it. 3) After the release of BJ8 in one big patch, including the BJ8 review. Of course this all depends on how much time I'll have these next few weeks for finishing the reviews, but if you are interested in them and have a preference either way, you can always drop me an email! |
