I find the art style really charming. Raz has some awesome talent.

For events that we host servers [External Link] for (such as No More Room In Hell), just join at the appropriate time. For ones that we don't, or which are player hosted, we usually coordinate from the SteamLUG Mumble server [External Link] or the #SteamLUG IRC channel [External Link].

For anybody who's intersted, there's an archive of their PAX panel here [External Link].

Thanks heaps for writing this, Liam! I've been absolutely swamped.

I totally agree, flesk. Chapter 2 feels like such a leap beyond the first chapter (which was already good to begin with) in terms of structure and execution. It's a worthy successor which raises the bar on all levels and I can't wait to see where it goes from here :D

Quoting: vultureJourney down is more or less average game.

It's important to view TJD as a continuing story. The first chapter on its own isn't comparable to the whole game that TBoUT is, though personally, I found TJD to be funnier and more interesting.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroWhat club is this? On SteamLUG? Need to get more involved with that, seems like there's always good things.

That would be the community run Double Fine Game Club [External Link]. Think of it as a book club, but for games - we pick a title, play it in our own time, then come together to discuss it on weekends whilst somebody streams in the background. Right now, we're doing Toonstruck [External Link], which runs "natively" in ScummVM. We're expecting to have Keith Arem (one of the original developers who now owns the rights to the game and is looking toward raising enthusiasm for a re-release or sequel) joining us this coming weekend.

Veering slightly back on topic, I noticed some people mentioning that they felt that the first chapter of The Journey Down was very short. This second chapter is much longer.

If you're interested in chatting with other players/developers, we'll be doing The Journey Down Chapter 2 for Game Club at some point (probably next month).

I personally felt like The Raven was more enjoyable than The Book of Unwritten Tales, although The Raven has a few fairly average animations here and there (although not enough to really detract from it). The Raven's got some nice pacing, is well structured and really presents its atmosphere well.
