**I'm not being compensated in any way for this video. Dave Marsh from Zojoi reached out and asked if I would be interested in covering it and I was provided with an early copy of the demo. I don't normally hype up a Kickstarter unless it's a project I'm just genuinely interested in and I have no financial stake in its success or failure. I do hope it does well because I just want to play a new Shadowgate game and that's pretty much it.

Hey, Aaron. Great to see you. Admittedly, I never ventured very far into the point-and-click adventure world beyond Monkey Island, but I love the concept of a sequel to a classic maintaining the design aesthetic of the original. Don't re-invent the wheel, just gimme some new rims and better tread! 😀

I just played some of the demo and while I was pondering on what to do with the puzzles suddenly I was dead like, "Wait what? How?" lol. I don't think I've ever seen an adventure game have this feature and I think it's innovate and awesome tbo. Allowing the option for the player to config though is a happy medium and I'm just happy to see Shadowgate finally get a proper, true sequel from the original developer's vision. Plus, kudos to you for pointing that out and Mr Marsh actually listening in order to make accommodations for various types other players. If only other developers were as considerate like Dave how much better the industry would be as a whole. Shout out to the new composer as well as it sounds inline with something Masuno Hiroyuki would done. I think he's still active and who knows..maybe he'd be willing to contribute some tracks for the project as well. Either way can't wait for the full release later this year and thanks to everyone involved and for you shedding light on this fantastic upcoming release! 😇

Shadowgate on the Amiga was the very first adventure game I played thru to the end. My boss and I were both playing it at the same time and ended up stuck at the ssme place for awhile. We both started giving each other little hints, if one of us would get very far from the other. I finished the Uninvited as well, but never really got into Deja Vu.

Since the game is DRM free, it can be stored on different mediums anyway. So it's no big deal if a physical copy of the game is not included for the cartridge options. What i do hope, is that the game gets a physical Switch release in the future, that way it can be played in handheld mode.

Beyond Shadowgate wasn't on the TG16, it was on the Turbo Duo. You can play Duo games on the TGCD with an System Card 3.0 upgrade kit, which runs for over half a grand by itself, but so does the game. Anyway, the game is fantastic. I beat it a dozen times. There are a couple areas where it's difficult to realize you can travel up or down. The death animations are AWESOME!!! I regret selling it to pay bills, but $500 was good money (also sold my Panzer Dragoon Saga at the same time for around that... ugh...).

@hrothgarnogar Жыл бұрын
I think you're a little harsh on the "timed action" mechanic. Don't forget, one of the huge mechanics of the original Shadowgate was that you had to keep your torches lit and when they got low that terrifying music would play and you only had a minute to get them lit again! That actually made the entire game have a limited amount of time to beat it in. That mechanic was what made Shadowgate truly terrifying to me; I couldn't ever sit and think for too long or my torches would run out. I'm actually a little sad the music isn't as scary or intense in the demo when time is running short and death approaches.
@FridayNightArcade Жыл бұрын
Fair but in the original NES game it was still a turn based timed mechanic. You still had so many turns before the torch ran out. If you just sat there staring at the screen after that music played, nothing happened. Whereas in this one you've literally got about 5 seconds to react and enter a command before you die. It's not a terrible idea, I could just see it becoming really annoying as it gets later in the game. But that's just me - glad it will be optional for those that do want to play that way though. I agree though nothing in the new game so far is quite as unnerving as that low torch music from the original :)
@hrothgarnogar Жыл бұрын

i whole heartedly agree that the way these 3 games were displayed and sounded is what made them so great. I actually cant stand adventure games. Theyre usually really clunky, glitchy, and overly silly with their puzzles or tactics. But i love these 3, i own dejavu/shadowgate on the NES but unfortunately dont own Uninvited yet (MAN its pricy). I saw what the Beyond Shadowgate was and was immensely sad that it followed the same annoying format other adventure games did, so i didnt feel any urge to try and emulate it to play it. I found out about this true NES style sequel and IMMEDIATELY backed that crap. I normally avoid kickstarter video games like the plague as 99% of the time theyre peopel that think the only difficulty to making a game is funding and end up delivering a hyper-trashy game or not delivering even that. Part of me is sad its not actually on the NES but i also know that would be a pretty stupid thing to do. Both because not many people have a NES anymore and it would be super easy to just rom-dump it and bam its in everyones emulator folder now. I've been seriously considering trying to learn how to code on the NES for the fun of it and making a shadowgate type game was the first one to come to mind.
