Good Lord, is it Thursday already? The insanity! [Aaand, of course, now it's Saturday: I can't even seem finish a post and click 'publish' these days.]

I've barely had time to breathe this week, as next week's deadline inches - or rushes, like a train you have to catch, but then miss by four-and-a-half seconds, and you swear the conductor saw you before blowing his whistle, he totally did that on purpose - ever closer. How are we doing? We're not done. We're getting there, but we're not done. It's tight, but then it's always tight. It wouldn't be game development otherwise. If you've got too much time to spare, you're not doing it right, and you're not doing enough. If you don't have blood running from your nose and your brain is screaming - screaming! - for some goddamn sleep, you're working in the wrong business, buddy.

And if this one's breaking our backs, pre-E3 crunch time - early April to mid May - will pop both of our kneecaps and pull our fingernails out, ever so slowly. That one's the biggie. We'll be positioned in a pretty sweet spot on the show floor, with a sizeable stand right next door to Sony's, so Dreamfall: The Longest Journey will need to look absolutely fantastic. Of course, Dreamfall won't be the only Funcom game (nor the biggest) to be shown at E3 - but it will definitely be the best adventure game at E3, or I'll eat my, uh, lunch. (Hey, the competition's fierce. I don't want to have to eat anything disgusting.)

The game does look - and more importantly feel - pretty good right now, even with tons of stuff missing. It's unique and it's different, and there's honestly nothing else like it out there. Unfortunately, you'll still have to take my word for it. The marketing and PR guys have a plan for what we're going to reveal when, and we have to stick with that plan. Things will be happening throughout March and April, culminating in L.A. in May, at which point we'll reveal mostly everything we're willing to reveal. We don't want to go into spoiler territory, and boy, are there plenty of opportunities for spoilers in this one.

I'll try and post a few tidbits in this journal between now and next Friday, time - and PR people - permitting. Check back soon.  ¶ 09:06
