Before all of this, though, was the <a href=\"http:\/\/gdconf.com\/\" target=\"new\">Game Developers Conference<\/a>, where I saw some great games, heard some great panels, and (the best part) sat down with Tim Schafer for an awesome interview that I&#8217;ve since turned into a big feature article, slated to appear in print in a month or so. I&#8217;ll post more info about that (including where you can read it!) in the near future, but for now let&#8217;s just say it was a lot of fun to talk to him about the <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=4516\" target=\"new\">Kickstarter campaign heard round the world<\/a>, his approach to making adventure games, and why the genre most certainly is not dead.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\" style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px; font-size:11px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuregamers.com\/article\/id,1434\" target=\"new\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/2012\/Cognition01.jpg\" border=\"0\" style=\"margin-bottom:5px\"><\/a><br \/>Run, Erica! Run!<\/p>\n<p>But I digress. (What else is new?) One of the first things I did at GDC was see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postudios.com\/cognition\/\" target=\"new\">Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuregamers.com\/article\/id,1434\" target=\"new\">my impressions<\/a> went up on Adventure Gamers today. The game is being developed by Phoenix Online, the group behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsl-game.com\/\" target=\"new\">The Silver Lining<\/a> (for whom I have done PR in the past, but am not currently) and it&#8217;s looking pretty damn good. I think fans of crime games and especially of Jane Jensen&#8217;s Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers will dig it (partly because Jane is acting as a story consultant on the project, but more because the Phoenix team are big fans of hers and it shows). The subject matter reminds me a bit of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuregamers.com\/article\/id,520\" target=\"new\">Still Life<\/a>, too (another of my old favorites). In short, lots to look forward to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuregamers.com\/article\/id,1434\" target=\"new\">Read all about it!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month has flown by, thanks to two weeks of house guests and a super exciting PR project that I&#8217;m dying to talk about but have to keep secret a few more days.
