Gabriel Knight Creator’s “Gray Matter” to Appear at Leipzig
Posted by Steve Van Neil Categories: Adventure, PC,
Excellent news for fans of point-and-click adventure games: Gray Matter, the newest game series from Jane Jensen, creator of the popular Gabreil Knight PC adventure game series, will see its first installment show up in playable form at the Leipzig Games Convention later this week. Jensen describes Gray Matter as a “paranormal/investigative series…updated to be more unique and cutting-edge, dealing with Matrix-like questions about the nature of reality… the power and potential of the human mind.”
Of special note is Jensen’s decision to design the game in 2D. She explains, “For an adventure game, you want atmosphere. Moving the camera is not only unnecessary, but [also] a real detriment for many people. Studies have shown that women and older people don’t like moving a camera in 3D, and these demographics are an important part of our audience.”
Perhaps the pure adventure game isn’t quite dead. The first chapter of Gray Matter, currently subtitled Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made Of, is scheduled for a first quarter 2008 release, courtesy of publisher dtp.

Telltale Hiring for Wii Game Programmers
Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Adventure, Nintendo, Rumors, Wii,
A while back, bloggers at some of the bigger Nintendo blogs (including GoNintendo and NintendoWiiFanboy) heard that Telltale Games was interested in creating or porting an adventure game for the Wii, and they made sure that Nintendo knew about this via a hearty internet buzz campaign.
After all the submissions, Nintendo took the hint, leading to a very excited post from the Telltale bloggers: “News flash, Friday afternoon: They took notice! We got a phone call from Nintendo this afternoon. We’ll take it from here - please don’t email them anymore!”
Well, it appears that Telltale and Nintendo must have worked something out, because Telltale is now posting a full-time job opening for a Wii game programmer to bring their 3D engine over to the Wii’s architecture. I can’t ever imagine what that could mean… I’m sure it has NOTHING to do with porting Sam and Max to the Wii.
See the full job posting, after the jump…
