What's going with Tony's dev?

[tonyrevdev]

Hehe, I'm back!

[tonyrevdev]

yay, it’s live. Check it out at shorturl.at/fyzCF :)

[tonyrevdev]

It’s been a looong journey but we’re nearly there with the book Kickstarter! Just a bit more negotiating with the UK courier industry first :)

[tonyrevdev]

Got our test run books through today. It's been a long journey to get to this point!

Note the class yellow sticker, inspired by the first run of Broken Sword boxes, back in the day :)

Can you believe it’s now just over ten years since we filmed the BS5 Kickstarter vid?! :o

[tonyrevdev]

one year without update here!!!!!!!!!!!! hope to know soon the new game of revolution!!!

Sorry, I was locked out of this account :)

But rejoice, for I am returned!

Two days of editing the book with Martin MulRooney. We didn’t really have a plan, just fired up the document and started talking about it. Eventually we realised we weren’t 100% happy with some of the chapter names, so we went through them all and massively improved probably a third of them. Sometimes you just need to make a start and see where it leads. Also, chocolate and cat.

My Rev book is done! Well, almost. We’re still editing it here and there. This process could actually continue for a couple of centuries, but I will call a halt soon. 

Also, the name and cover keep changing! Here’s the latest :) Like it?

As a collector of all Rev stuff I was pleased to find this one eBay. It’s a Mac BS1 in very good condition. The yellow sticker is what you look for on BS1s. Install instructions for Windows were in the manual, so they bunged in an extra instructions sheet for this :)

Sadly, my Mac wouldn’t read either disk - not sure why :( Not that I expected it to install or run, but still.

We took a trip to York to see Rev! In that bag are a bunch of very old Revolution backup tapes that were sitting up in the loft where I used to live. They are hunting old archived stuff, but it’ll be a miracle if these tapes still work!

Also on the agenda was a chat about my book ‘8-bits to Revolution’ that covers the first 25 years of Rev history. I’m harassing Charles and Noirin to read it and say if they wants any tweeks - it’s now or never dudes! More info on the book soon :)

Hello! Long time no see :)

Today I found the original Broken Sword 1 scripts on a knackered-looking DVD backup when looking for GBA Sword 2 scripts - but this is actually better. Here’s one you might recognise!

Is anyone still here?

Looking at the 1993/2016 pictures, do you have a time machine? You don't seem to have aged in 23 years :P I really like the 25th anniversary boxset, would there be any way to get another set of the posters though? I'd love to be able to display both sides of all of them, hopefully without buying another boxset if I can help it anyway :) Thanks!

Thanks :) No time machine, but Rioja helps ;)Posters will be hard, as the whole thing is put together in Austria and shipped to amazon. Or something. But you could write to info@ and they might be able to help...

[tonyrevdev]

Will the documentary that comes with the the 25th Anniversary Collection Box be available elsewhere?

Dunno, maybe one day. I imagine it will find it’s way to YT one way or another.

[tonyrevdev]

Although i have just received it i was just wondering why i had to buy the Broken Sword 25th Anniversary from a third party rather than the Revolution website??!!

‘cause we’re too small to deal with payments and physical stock. A good middle road for us is to use Amazon Fulfilment. It’s direct from us, via Amazon ;)
