Status : Online | Wow, my favourite games designer! I can't say I'm surprised (I've been warned by Randy ) but it's great to see all the Big Names in adventures on this forum.
Here's a random question about the Gabriel Knight series: Am I right in thinking that when you were working on GK1, you had at least an outline of the next two games in your mind? I was recently replaying all three GK games and there were some things in GK1 that only made sense after having played the sequels.
I'll let someone else ask the obvious question about GK4.
I forgot my sig.

Your research for the GK series has been absolutely wonderful!! I was surprised that the references to the Father Sauniere mystery were incredibly accurate. I never knew about all this until I played GK3.
I've been a fan of the series since the first one and I must thank you for writing the greatest mystery games ever.
Looking forward to the fourth chapter. I know it will come out. We must have faith

One aspect of the GK games I always found really fascinating was the fact that it's so hard to tell where the historical truth (whatever that may be) ends and the fiction begins. The dividing line is there somewhere (I think!) but it's just about invisible.

Status : Online | WOW...the no 1 game designer/story writer of all times has posted in just adventure!!!! The creator of the best adventure game ever (GK2) has posted here! It is an honour just reading your post.
Btw...can I have a little tiny small request? Can you make a new company with Roberta Williams and Al Lowe, buy the rights of GK, make a fourth one with FMV graphics and famous actors but keep Dean and Joane in the main roles, make it a DVD-only game, and also make another adventure at the same time?
What... who said that....who said I'm dreaming?
Anyway, even if GK4 is a football game I'm going to buy it. (I say this because I have faith in Jane that she would never produce something else than an adventure for GK, otherwise I would have shut my mouth).
Ok if I can't get the first request can I get an even smaller one at least... Please, no more Tim Curry for Gabriel.
Thanks for visiting just adventure's forums. I am sure everybody here is as eager as I am to learn about news of a new game of yours.
Thanks for many hours of entertainment (am currently re-playing GK2 for the fourth time in my life)

Status : Online | Greetings and Welcome Jane!
I have to say that we are all honored to have you visiting... you are a bit of a heroine to the adventure gamer and have provided many of us with countless hours of wonder.
GK2 was about the third graphic game I ever played and I was obsessed.... playing every minute I could and waiting for Gabe and Grace to come to their senses and appreciate each other! I thought about it when I was not playing... trying to puzzle out solutions and attempting to guess the outcomes. GK1 and GK3 were equally enjoyable and the series showed that an artistic and talented designer (you) was much more important than the technology.
I know that the industry has been rough on you and other creative giants... let's hope we will all get a chance to explore with Gabriel (or another man/woman from your imagination) again, some day!
With kindest regards and utmost respect,
Cindy K

Darn good to see you grace our board. As you may be gathering, you're held in rather lofty esteem in these here parts.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I really hope you'll come by and say hello often.
Of course, if you do, you'll have to endure barrage after barrage of breathless demands for Your Next Game!
Remember, procrastinate now. Don't put it off!!

Best of luck with everything. Vivendi has no idea... that beautiful talent of yours shouldn't be wasted. They don't seem to understand that so many were enthralled and captivated by the GK series for days on end, living and breathing a computer game, which sounds absurd until one has actually experienced it. You weave such intricacies into the plots of those games, the characters, the settings, the history, the religion, the passion... I should stop now, shouldn't I? o_O (Okay, I'm obsessed.)
Oh, and I have to disagree with dimidimidimi... more Curry! More Curry!!

So you see if you tell us something about your new game it is going to stay between these 4 walls ....ehhmmm.... firewalls....ehh...whatever.....
Anyway, whatever it is I'm going to buy it... (as long as it is an adventure )

I totally agree with dimidimidimi as my favourite game of all time is The Beast Within and I absolutely hate Tim Curry's voice!!! :'(
Can't wait to read Jane's interview when she does it with Randy.

You mentioned earlier that, even if she made a football game, you would buy GK4.
Could it be? Gabriel playing football?
