So, we're quoting blog posts are we? How about these from Dan Pinchbeck of The Chinese Room less than a year ago?

Well, that was low indeed.

Hmm, that blog post was entirely written by Robert Briscoe, not Dan Pinchbeck.

No problem. Wink

But I should also point out that Robert Briscoe is an independent artist, who collaborated with The Chinese Room on Dear Esther only. He's not part of the company nor is he involved in any of their other projects.

This looks really cool though, especially the quotes. It's a really interesting concept for a horror game.

I cannot comment ;-)

Aha! There is an interesting entry on Samuel's about page:

So he is! (I think?) This excites me. The sound design was one of my favourite things about amfp

I see DavidS is watching us now.

I like when developers are checking if we are finding the pieces of the puzzle and discussing which piece fits where.
