Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Tanshaydar]

Well, Amnesia itself is pretty much finished game and Justine has come to us thanks to Portal 2 ARG.
I don't think any new update would come to it considering almost all bugs are solved and game runs pretty much fine.
Machine for Pigs is another story and no technical or other details were revealed, but I wouldn't keep my hopes high.

Not really.

DNF took so long because they kept "remaking" the game. So most of the time wasn't spent working on the version we actually got to see. A bad dev team can make a horrible game in a long time, but no good team can make a great game in short time. Especially with such a low manpower.

Well, actually it's quite possible, but it depends on how you define "short time".
If they are not writing a new engine from scratch, if they already are familiar (or quite good to prefer) on the engine they are working on, and if the game design documents are ready, rest is just shooting for palpable things like levels and models. I'm pretty sure tCR didn't just come up with "We have an idea, let's announce it", which is definitely not something any rational game developer would make.
Considering there was an ARG and considering they started to work on "Everyone's Gone to the Rapture" long before Dear Esther release, they should've already progressed much -or already finsihed- in the preliminary works, which leaves quite a long time to build the game.
