Hi!
I was just wondering if there is a book on the story of "The Longest Journey" or if it will be published?
Thanx for your answer.
Btw that was one of the best adventure games I played.

No book yet, but that may change. We're certainly thinking about it. It would be nice to retell the original story prior to the release of the second chapter.

And on a similar note:

I just purchased and finished playing the game a few days ago. Beautiful game, compelling story, incredible voice acting. I see you've smartly recycled the musical assets into a CD package, though I think the music itself was under-implemented in the game itself (and one production qualm is that the music themes are painfully cut-off if the scene changes abruptly--I began flinching every time it happened because it was so emotional jarring after developing an emotional groove with the game. And I was always affected as a musician/composer: Just don't like hearing music chopped off so abruptly. But enough typing in parentheses).

Would you consider putting together a book for the artwork? I.e., provide an art book containing the characters and locations, and (some) information on each specific piece of art as it relates to the amazing story? I think it would be a huge success (well, *I* would buy it). The game, is, after all, a successful compendium of art: story-telling/writing, drawing, music, and acting. I personally think the artwork is too gorgeous to be left without its own dedicated presentation medium--and, who knows? It might even be PROFITABLE? I've heard of a lot of people keeping the game installed on their computer just to "revisit" locations. It would sell well in conjunction with or slightly before the second game's release...

I really think adventure games like TLJ will energize a new era of interactive story-telling. Please, tell all involved "thanks" for such a wonderful adventure game, and congratulations to you personally for the story and the directing.

"Wow"

Thank you. And thanks for the great idea - I'll certainly talk to marketing about it. We might be able to do something in connection with the release of the next Journey, as we do have a lot of conceptual artwork from both games.  ¶ 18:05
