It’s so second-favourite that it’s ‘new’ twice.

I think I have a new new second-favourite game development studio!

This sounds excellent. Perhaps 2008 will surprise us and turn out to be just as exciting as 2007 in the games industry.

However, I surely hope to god it sees better production than that image. I bet you can easily find a hefty number of free flash minigames with more professional visual direction than that. However, the design itself could become a nice parody of every third grade boy’s violent drawings and comics, and if it’s pulled off correctly the style could be quite invigorating.

I was just a tiny bit put off when he advertised an RPG-Adventure then proceeded to name only Monkey Island and Diablo in the post. Many people consider Diablo to be barely in the realm of RPGs, and I fear the “RPG” portion of the claimed genre will just end up being action gaming with stats.

My initial reaction: “WATTUF?!?”

That is literally the second most terrifying orphan I have ever seen.

OK, zany could be a problem but it’s Gilbert! And a little bit Schafer! And some guy I’ve never heard of before!

No, it’s “second best”. Try to keep up the Monkey Island vibe, you three headed monkey you. ;)

If I died now, I wouldn’t be happy because I wouldn’t get to play this game.

“The name – and the art – make me think it’s going to try to be too ‘funny’”

Did you just accuse Mr Monkey Island of *trying* to be funny? That seems… silly.

This doesn’t look very ‘next gen.’

… I love it.

It’s… er…

Yay Ron Gilbert?

Yet also… deathspank… The name – and the art – make me think it’s going to try to be too “funny” in a kind of extreme “aren’t we wacky” type way…

I look forward to being massively wrong.
