Video Update: Progress and Process

Hey there, folks —

Taking a brief breather from working on the FAR WEST Adventure Game to post the following video update, which was filmed for our Kickstarter backers. It gives a brief look at where we stand in the project, and then a discussion of some of the research materials that we’ve been using on FAR WEST. Links for the books discussed can be found following the video, below:

    No judging from me on Kung Fu Panda….I have both art books, have the 2 dvds that are out, awaiting the 2nd movie to come out on dvd….and waiting for the tv series!

    And now I have to blame you for some more upcoming purchases. I HAVE to own that Avatar book.

    Hey, I have two grandchildren living with me, and I LOVE Kung Fu Panda! No judging here at all at all. Just feeling poorer in prospect of buying more books. 🙂

    An interesting look at the process behind developing Far West, for which I’m very excited. Also, Gareth, you look way different than I imagined.

    Keep up the good work!

      Now I’m curious about how you imagined me….. 🙂

      • Claire Redfield says:

        Hard to say, but certainly not as youthful and jovial, I guess would be the best word. I figured you’d be more dour, for some reason. You seem rather upbeat here, which is good!

        • Claire Redfield says:

          Appearance-wise, definitely beardless, maybe a darker complexion (to go with this more serious, almost dour look I had given you in my mind’s eye), more angular, almost meaner in a way. Hardened. Hehe… weird, right? But still, anyway, it was a pleasant surprise!

  4. I do not understand the “why” completely, but I have such a huge craving over this project. I am trying desperately to be patient and stay out of the way (so to speak). I so want to see, well everything. The same day this video came out, I had one question after another roll through my head about world development. Luckily, I managed to keep myself suppressed, though I think I lost some sleep over it.

    Am I alone? Is anyone feeling like I am? I believe the development staff is in a different catagory outside what I am describing.

    • Claire Redfield says:

      I feel similarly. I’m actually really excited for this game. It totally fills a niche that no other game currently does for me.

    I’m very interested in this game and the extended narrative endever but I’ve got to say that the most exciting thing about this post is it introduced me a text that has writing by both Ken Hite and Henry Jenkins!

  6. While I was up around Mission, Oregon a couple of weeks ago, I found this great box set. While I was hanging out at the Arrowhead Travel Plaza, I spotted a collection of Spaghetti Westerns. 20 movies in a tin box for $9.95. What a steal!

    I just finished watching “The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe” which is about a travelling Chinese man. After landing in San Francisco, he bout a stage coach ticket for Texas. Talk about a wild ride.

    For new and current fans of this project, this has to be one great possibility to get a good idea about the mashup theme. Hard to believe it was rated R. I guess that was the standard for 1972. So what if a guy jammed what was left of his arm into a fire after getting it lobbed off by a sword.
