Well, I can name one new adventure game coming soon, Al Emmo by Himalaya. Unlike other games in the market, this one is a pure, classic adventure game.
As noted elsewhere many times, we tried to form a team here but it never happened. It is not as simple as you make it sound. And there are more teams working out there to make new, classic adventure games. Some of them just aren’t publicized at this time.
There is plenty of quality stuff going on in the AGS community… and, well, Ken and Roberta have expressed that getting back into games just isn’t something they’re interested in doing. If you as a fan want it to happen, then you should make it happen. Others are doing it, and you don’t need $10,000.
