In May, 2003, it was announced that Jane
will be working on the pilot episode of what will hopefully be a new
game series to be funded and published by The Adventure Company (aka
DreamCatcher).
We will have more on this
site in the future, including screenshots when they become available,
and links to all related material on the web. For now, though,
Jane is still working on the game bible (the primary design document)
and there has not yet been a development team assigned.
What is it called?
"Project-JJ" for now. We had a cool title. It
had copyright issues. We are in search of a new one.
What's it about?
It's an investigative mystery series with a male and female lead and
with cases involving the paranormal. Sound familiar? It's
not really. The male lead is a neurobiologist and the female is a
magician. And the paranormal in this new series will be much less
fantasy and more reality based -- not werewolves and vampires but the
powers and potentials of the human mind. Yes, it is a pure,
3rd person adventure game.
When is it coming
out? The current date is Fall of '04.
What does Jane think
of it? Jane is thrilled to be doing a game again and
anxious to work with the new team -- art! music! acting! interviews!
Oh, the excitement. Three years of writing a novel at home have
taken their toll. As for the game itself, Jane is passionate about
the story and characters -- as always. Don't ask her. She'll
talk your ear off.
How's this
Adventure Company thing going to work out? So far, Jane has
felt that she's finally found a new home, a place that reminds her very
much of Sierra when she first joined -- small, artist driven and
energetic. That was a place she's dearly missed.
