Well in 2004 we had an idea… we had a design actually for an RTS, because it felt that adventures – well, it didn’t feel, it was absolutely the fact – that adventures were not being commissioned by publishers, nor were they being stocked by retailers. When did Revolution decide – you mentioned that it had been discussed before I think I traced it back to as early as 2004 that you had mentioned it – to fully commit and move forward with it?
For the Kickstarter of course we put it as one of the stretch goals, which in hindsight was a pretty naïve and silly thing to do, but we certainly did. We kind of teased by securing, I think, a website of BASS 2 and various other thing. You’re right and actually before then as well. I do remember a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky being teased as far back as the Broken Sword 5 Kickstarter campaign in 2012… Congratulations on the release of Beyond a Steel Sky I actually finished it last night (I stayed up quite late) and I thought the ending in particular – without giving away any spoilers – was wonderful, so congratulations to you and the team.
Well thank you! I’ll just jump straight in. We’re very lucky we have a wonderful group of people in our community and it’s a pleasure to talk to you and everybody else frankly. Thank you for your general support of us. I’ve actually been really looking forward to talk to you for a number of years, so thank you for giving me the time!
