After the Geneforge and Avernum series have run their courses, What might happen next? More puzzle games, perhaps. Maybe a new adventure game set in a different place, maybe even in space! Jeff hasn'e done space much yet, has he? Maybe He'll just take some time off. Perhaps that's the very purpose of the 'Blades of' games, that we amuse ourselves for a while and let poor Mr.Vogel get some sleep and teach his daughter how to fire a grenade launcher. -------------------- Check out the DIARY, why doncha? It won't bite. Probably. "We were heart companions, We were companions in the woods, We were fellows of the same bed, Where we used to sleep the balmy sleep. After mortal battles abroad, In countries many and far distant, Together we used to practice, and go Through each forest, learning with Scathach".

Jeff has said in many interviews that GF3 is next. No worries. Md. Posts: 304 | Registered: Monday, October 1 2001 07:00 |

Jeff has not done any puzzle games, either. He has made RPG's only, as far as we know. In an interview he commented on that, saying that while making a strategy game might be interesting he doesn't care to take the risk when he knows he can write another RPG and make money off of it. —Alorael, who wouldn't rule out space. Geneforge was a half-step in the sci-fi direction. On the other hand, medieval seems to be what Jeff knows best and what his customers have been buying. And there's still that ambiguous mention of A4 floating around... Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Ocean Bound was apparently a puzzle/strategy. I've never played it, though, due to not having a Mac. -E- -------------------- Let them eat cake! Polaris Boards: The System is Up. Perennially. Posts: 2314 | Registered: Tuesday, January 15 2002 08:00 |

Ocean Bound wasn't made by Jeff. It was only published by SW, the same way Exile was once published by Fantasoft. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Haha, and Lost Souls... that game's great... and it's by Richard White, or someone... anyway, I think even if Mr. Vogel did make a space age game, it would end up being not too different from the current medieval style. He should probably just stick to medieval, although a space game would be interesting. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

If Jeff makes an Avernum 4, I won't rest until he makes it for Exile as well. I'm sure he will try something new, Geneforge was a step away from the usual games he makes. He might take another one and make something that will blow our minds away. -------------------- "Wow, fish." Hahahaha, I crack myself up. Posts: 1233 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

I distinctly remember Jeff saying something along the lines of "I don't want to have to wake up in the morning and know that today, I have to redesign the Tower of Magi for the forth time..." Hmph. If he makes A4, I'm going to be cut. Md. Posts: 304 | Registered: Monday, October 1 2001 07:00 |

quote:Hm. Exile 1, Exile 2, Exile 3, BoE (Za-Khazi Run)... Well if you count that the Tower had to be redone in the Avernum series, not completely but to a large extent to accomidate the new engine, one could say he's had to recreate the Tower seven times thus far, soon to be eight with the Za-Khazi trip. Also, because he had to do the Tower of Magi destroyed in both Avernum and Exile 3... that would make BoA Za-Khazi his tenth time doing the Tower of Magi. Dang.

Please, anything but some crappy space odyssey. But A4 (and E4, don't forget that!) would be nice. Although utterly un-necessary. And, it would probably ruin the whole structure of the series. I think Exile (A) was born to be a trilogy. There was the fall (E1), the raise (E2) and the victory (E3). BoE was just...well, it just didn't fit in. And most probably E4 (wasn't BoE the fourth Exile, BTW?) wouldn't fit in, either. Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

...I checked all 23 towns in the editor. The very beginning is Fort Goodling, not theTower of Magi. Seriously.
