Alternative Magazine Online's Marty Mulrooney has posted an interview with video game designer Steve Ince:
"Steve Ince is that rare breed of game designer that embraces the gaming community wholeheartedly. He has been involved in the creation of some of the biggest adventure games of all time, including Beneath A Steel Sky and the Broken Sword series. Over the years, I have seen him chatting with gamers in various forums, discussing not only his own work but other games within the adventure genre as well. He is as much a fan as a creator and this enthusiasm always shines through.
Nothing has ever been quite as surreal as popping Broken Sword: The Director's Cut into my Wii a few months ago whilst twittering with Steve about the series: like many of the old Revolution Software crowd, Mr Ince is always a pleasure to talk to. Hopefully, I can now pass this pleasure onto Alternative Magazine Online's readers as well. Without further ado, I am delighted to present a recent conversation between myself and Mr Steve Ince…"
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars celebrated its 25th anniversary in October 2021. To mark such a momentous occasion, Alternative Magazine Online is proud to present an exclusive look back at the game’s development with British video game designer Charles Cecil, co-founder and Managing Director of Revolution Software!
Thanks for commenting, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is one of my favourite adventure games of all time (as I'm sure you can tell). It's crazy that Virgin didn't want to publish it on PlayStation!
Yes, considering their reason not to and what they did end up publishing/published in the past is very odd.
Gaming Respawn revisits Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars in this weeks Retro Respawn.
Fantastic game. Still listen to the OST to this day. That f’n goat in Ireland slayed me though. Got super stuck on that part.
George Stobbart: Woah! Don't shoot! I'm innocent! I'm an American!
Moue: Can't make up your mind, huh?
Humble Bundle just added three games to Humble Monthly’s Humble Trove. The games that were added include Blackguards, Broken Sword 4: The Angel of Death, Shady Knight.
The Humble Trove is a catalog of 60+ DRM-free games and Humble Originals. New titles are added every month as a perk for Humble Monthly subscribers. Humble Monthly subscribers are free to download and play the entire catalog.
I definitely would love to see new games like the original Broken Sword or Beneath A Steel Sky.
