By Joe Jasko
After already announcing a fifth entry in their critically acclaimed Dracula series earlier this summer, not to mention the long-awaited third installment in the iconic Syberia saga, developer Microids is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, with a brand new detective-themed point-and-click adventure that will have gamers cracking the dream-like case by the end of the month.Taking place in the bustling 1930s, Dream Chamber follows the adventures of a rich heir named Charlie, who becomes a self-appointed private detective of sorts after his girlfriend falls victim to a jewelry robbery at a lavish museum opening. And with that, Charlie throws on his raincoat and fedora and sets off to find the culprits in a wonderfully stylized and humorous take on the point-and-click adventure."But what really sets Charlie apart from all the other amateur detectives out there is the heir's uncanny ability to revisit the various crime scenes in his own dreams, where he is able to find additional clues that are firmly planted in his subconscious mind. This whole dream-detective setup is clearly reflected in the first screenshot we've seen of the game, which features a cartoonish looking Charlie snooping around a warped and dreamlike office, with a wavering black-and-white tiled floor.Promising to offer lots of great humor and challenging puzzles, Dream Chamber is currently slated for release on October 24, 2013, and will be available on PC, Mac, and iPad platforms.Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers remake slated for 2014
By Joe Jasko
Jane Jensen, creator of the original Gabriel Knight series from way back in the early 90s, has a pretty exciting announcement this week for fans of the classic line of point-and-click adventure games: her development studio Pinkerton Road has officially acquired the Gabriel Knight licensing rights from Activision. And what do you think they've been doing with those newfound rights over the last year or so? Why, recreating the original Gabriel Knight adventure from scratch to commemorate the game's 20th anniversary!The Gabriel Knight saga follows the harrowing adventures of the titular bookstore owner and struggling novelist, as he makes his way through the voodoo-infested swamps and back alleys of New Orleans, and outwits the evil legion of shadow-hunters known as the Schattenjägers. Set for release at some point midway in 2014, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is being completely reinvented from the ground up under Jensen's acute oversight, with full retina display visuals and new voice acting performances for when the game launches on PC, Mac, iPad and Android."This will be Jensen's first Gabriel Knight-related project since the creator left Sierra Online in 1999, and she couldn't be more excited about getting to revisit one of her most beloved creations in this manner: "I'm thrilled to be back at work on Gabriel Knight and to bring this classic game to a new generation of players," Jensen says. "It's going to look and feel like a brand new title. But never fear, 100% of the original Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is here. I hope both existing fans and new players will love it."Any long-time Gabriel Knight fans out there who are overjoyed by this news? Any newcomers who can't wait to be introduced to this true classic point-and-click adventure for the first time? Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the replies, and check out the upcoming remake's official website for more Gabriel Knight goodness!Episodic crowdfunding: The ingenious financial model of The Last Door
Less than a year ago, The Last Door surpassed its humble Kickstarter goal of £3,852. The crowdfunding pitch promised a heavily pixelated horror experience set against an enthralling, orchestral soundtrack. The series would be episodic, with each new entry coming to life only if the community willed and made it happen. With the third chapter, The Four Witnesses, having just reached its funding target, the community has spoken: we're not ready to close the door. We talked with The Game Kitchen's Community and PR Manager Raúl Díez about crowdfunding, crowd support, and the challenges and joys of maintaining an episodic game series that, thankfully, shows no sign of ending any time soon.While a successful indie game campaign is not an uncommon event these days, The Game Kitchen had a unique, elongated approach to crowdfunding from the get-go. Kickstarter was only the (critical) beginning, funding the pilot chapter in what would hopefully become an ongoing web series. Backers on Kickstarter earned early access to this pilot, and backers who pledged 10 pounds or higher became "premium members" for life.2013 IndieCade winners are announced
By Joe Jasko
It's award season for the gaming world once again, and I don't even have my tux pressed yet! Today we learn all of the inspiring new winners from the latest IndieCade international festival of independent games, where the motto of "Play. Create. Inspire." goes hand in hand with the great sense of discovery that this gathering of both gamers and developers alike has always managed to achieve.

By Joe Jasko
Hot on the heels of last month's iOS release of cult favorite sandbox crafting game Terraria, creator Andrew "Redigit" Spinks of Re-Logic has confirmed that a Terraria 2 is eventually on the way. However, we shouldn't expect the full-fledged sequel for quite some time, as Spinks and team have plenty more content updates in store for the original crafting adventure to take us through the rest of 2013 and beyond.In talking with Rock Paper Shotgun about the prospects of a Terraria 2, Spinks has revealed that the game has already been in the planning stages for quite some time. While the sequel will still bear quite a lot of similarities to the original Terraria game, fans can still expect to find a lot that's also completely new: specifically the mention of "infinite worlds" that won't restrict Terraria players to one confined location, and provide an unlimited sense of exploration."But in the meantime, we certainly haven't seen the last of the first Terraria, as Spinks is determined to finish some much-anticipated endgame content within the next month or two (which will add a final boss into the adventure), in addition to a possible Halloween-themed update, before fully focusing his efforts on developing Terraria 2. He is also considering opening a smaller, second team at Re-Logic to keep up with furthering the original Terraria content well after he has moved onto Terraria 2.Any Terraria fans out there? Are you ready to explore the limitless ends of Terraria 2? Be sure to let us know in the replies!I’m playing video games to help sick kids, and you should too

November 3rd, 9am. You wake up, have a good stretch, and put on your slippers. Maybe you'll make some coffee, or crawl back into bed and read a good book, or get dressed real quick and visit with the neighbors. It is a Sunday after all, and the day is rife with possibilities.Unless you're me, that is. I'll be collapsing into my bed at 9am with blurry eyes and an exhausted spirit. I'll have just completed 25 hours of straight gaming, and the wires that provide my brain with any sort of cognitive function will be frayed and strained to their last.And did I mention that it's my birthday?That's ok. It's for the children.On November 2nd at 8am, I'll be joining gamers from around the world in a marathon to raise funds for local children's hospitals in North America. At present, 10525 gamers have signed up for Extra Life 2013 - almost twice as many had signed up a month before the event last year, co-founder Jeremy Adoms tells me. And it seems like it's only going to get bigger.
