I was pointed in the general direction of this thread, and you're probably all painfully aware of my much maligned policy on Internet forums:

To announce firmly and loudly that I don't intend to get drawn into any kind of discussion at any time with anyone on any topic, and then boldly break that promise and make an arse of myself.

So I won't. Arse it up, that is. Not this time. Besides, there's not much to add. Production on the game (The Longest Journey: Static for those of you who wonder) is well underway; we have our deadlines and our production plans and our designs; of course we'll keep polishing away at the story until it sparkles, because, hey, we can do that; and we're not going to reveal any details regarding gameplay, plot, characters, platforms, or scheduled release date(s) until we're much further along. So there. The game is, thankfully, in good hands. And I don't necessarily mean mine. We have an amazing (and increasingly large) team consisting of seasoned veterans - artists, designers, and programmers - and I'm more confident about this game than I have been about any other project, ever.

Feel free to scuttle the butt, however, because that's what "the Net" is for - doomsaying and drawing premature conclusions. Where would we be without it? (In a bad place, that's where.)  ¶ 12:52
