Hey Jonathan have you seen the new XCOM game? look at the trees they look like the witness’ trees Also the render it looks like a cross of TF2 with Photo realism detail… will the Witness loook someting cartoony or saturated or TF2 like or even Borderlands?

I think it should be kind of real but different…

Big love to Jonathan and the crew!

Gary.

+1 for pre-orders!

I want to help you out! like Hecker has something similar for Spy Party Beta.
If we can get some help to you and help out the game so that you don’t need to get a publisher and go to more platforms!

capcha: Quality esatili ???? coincidence? I think not!

I don’t know… Can’t say I care tremendously about platforms at this time.

And Sony just said that the developing kit is just 2,000$
If Yhe Witness is on iPad can it be on PSV or 3DS? What do you think its possible?

Now i see.

RPS is always there if you just want to spiel – the readers seem to love the interview.

You should have posted it, it’s interesting. On the subject of “feeling smart”, you almost directly quoted a sentiment that Tim Rogers talks about in relation to Zelda’s puzzles and in his review of Braid. Is this the documented emergence of an artistic idea?

omfg… i loled

The Neverhood is an adventure game that is fully made out of clay. They made the game world and characters out of clay, and moved and photographed them one frame at a time to create the animations. The puzzles vary, just like in most adventure games, but the story and presentation focus on slapstick comedy. There are clips online for the various comic cut-scenes. My favorite is when you eat a bunch of apples from the apple tree.

They also did all kinds of random stuff, some of which is annoying, like forcing you to walk down a hallway dozens of screens long who’s walls are covered in the history and mythology of The Neverhood. You can actually read the whole thing, if you have patience for it.

I also bought Samorost 2 and Machinarium. Together these 3 games make the only adventure games I own and I like all of them, although Samorost 2 is disappointingly short. I get that impression especially since the entire first half of the game is offered for online play as a free demo, making the part I pay for only half of the original game. Since so much was available for free, I expected that much more out of the “pay to play” portion.

I used to play, or watch my friends play, some of the big titles of the day, some of the big titles of the time, like Simon the Sorcerer or Monkey Island. We also played Piposh (פיפוש) a very funny (at least at the time) Israeli adventure game. There were also sequels. The company went bankrupt, but not before putting some of the games online for free download here:

This is Levine talking about how to make characters. Maybe you found this interesting or helpful.

Also, you should give previews to print magazines too! GameInformer, EGM, EDGE, PC gamer and Game Developer.

I am still putting every update preview up. i lost count how much i put up… like 10 or something. and other people are putting them on other hubs too!

and that quote from a tape about having to thank one’s face for helping me practice seeing, really hit me hard… i always had a feeling like that but i never could put it into words. thaks man!

“I’d confronted some blue panels in the manner a driver confronts a stop sign. The panels were signs I didn’t know how to read.”

So I assume Mr. Totilo is from Jersey?

I’m actually afraid to read much further than that. I figured at an early point that the blue panels were central to the game. I want to know as little of them as possible until I get to experience them myself.

“My preceding hair line and uneven facial features… I thank my face, because it has allowed me to see and i no longer care about looks”

i forgot the quote but it was cool!

I’m excited to see what kind of music for The Witness you’re coming up with. With Braid’s musical pieces you hit the atmosphere of the game, for each and every level, perfectly.

Looking forward to more!

Every blog post, interview, lecture and press release reveals a new piece of the puzzle.

Turns out some of my initial guesses were right (some were wrong, or slightly off).

It sounds like I underestimated how central the blue puzzle mazes were – and how quickly they get complicated.

I can’t wait to play it This sounds awesome.

All the best

But now i think is about an author talking about his projects (Like Christopher Nolan with Inception or Lynch with Muholland DR). It made he smiled when i read:

“I could have done anything with my life, but somehow I ended up designing puzzles, including these here on this island. You could be doing anything with your life, but somehow you ended up here, solving these puzzles.”

reminded me of your talk about why make games or take 3 years out of your life when you could be feeding children in Africa or having sex or what ever.
The self references are very clever and for some reason made me laugh .
It also reminded em of this:

“we’re conditioned by movies and videogames to regard statements like that as third act betrayal fuel, so if you need to be suspicious for a little while, OK. even if you don’t want to trust me, know that my faith in you is unbreakable.”

I’ve been keenly following this blog since it began, and I’m really happy to see such positive previews. As Gamespot said, the game, even though there are only placeholder graphics, still manages to be completely engaging. That’s an incredible compliment, and goes to show the competency with the core design and feel of the game – and that you’re nailing the vision you and the team have.

Having also followed your lectures, I find myself greatly inspired by your work and design philosophy. I’m working for a medium sized game company as a recent Grad in Computer Science at the moment, but hope to someday eventually contribute to the growing collection of meaningful games.

Thank you and the team for the great work – sincerely look forward to this game!

there is a limit to 6 stories per person so Games Radar will have to wait for 23 hours to get published, but i will put it up once the submission limit is gone…..

now i can read and see the pictures very good.

If you would like to comment on them or just look at what people say, i will post a link to my submissions so you may comment or answer question or just see people calling Jonathan nasty names : (
