A non-non-AGSer view of working on ECC

So, one of the dudes who worked on Emerald City Confidential with AGS giant Dave Gilbert has written about the experience for GamaSutra.

Hardydev has an interesting article about making a super-genre game. I think its an unrealistic "utopia", but read it yourself and make your own mind up....

What were we talking about?

Despite having been writing abou the things for ages, Igor Hardy seems to not be sure what he is doing. Must be old age or something...

What is readability anyway?

Gamasutra have an article up pondering the design of adventure games and suggesting that puzzles are too obscure sometimes and that is why adventures stopped ruling the earth. Somehow they call this concept "readability" which I don't really get, but hey.

Another of those "Adventures are/aren't dead" articles...

Gamasutra have put their oar into the ring (don't you love mixed metaphors?) with this article on the resurgence of adventures. And they didn't even mention AGS. Bah!
