Following the recent release of Beyond a Steel Sky – the sequel to 1994’s Beneath a Steel Sky – on Apple Arcade and Steam, Alternative Magazine Online is proud to present an exclusive online interview with Revolution Software co-founder Charles Cecil. Just some of the topics discussed during our hour-long conversation include: creating a successful follow-up to a cult classic video game over 25 years later; collaborating with Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons; the extraordinary life and music of composer Barrington Pheloung; the benefits of being on Apple Arcade; artificial intelligence and human happiness; and Revolution Software’s future plans for Broken Sword 6.
Daily Video Game writes: "Right now, eShop is running several popular games on sale with good discounts from Microids, Merge Games, Frontier, and Neon Doctrine for Nintendo Switch users!"
CCG writes - "Nearly 30 years later, a beloved classic computer game receives a sequel. Immediately, alarms will blare in anyone’s head as in most cases it’s just used to cash in on a familiar IP with people completely unfamiliar or unattached to the original. Although in this case, this entry is created by the same developer, Revolution Software. Beyond a Steel Sky is the sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky, one of the most known and acclaimed point-and-click adventure games of the 90s. Beneath is considered freeware and can be downloaded from both Steam and GOG at no cost so I'd recommend checking it out."
Phil from WASDuk writes: "Did you know, popular singer, Meghan Trainor is a huge fan of point and click adventure games?"
Revolution's games are totally underrated.
