After their first game "Lure of the Temptress" in 1992 did well, they had higher ambitions for their second game: "Beneath a Steel Sky". Working together with […]

Baphomets Fluch hat damals die Adventure-Szene nachhaltig bereichert und bewiesen, dass es neben den LucasArts-Klassikern noch weitere Perlen zu entdecken gab. Charles Cecil hat mit seinem Werk einen spannenden Krimi geschaffen, der durch seinen trockenen Humor besticht. Wer das Original kennt, wird zunächst überrascht sein, wie vertraut sich das Remake anfühlt. Doch ein genauerer Blick offenbart die umfangreichen Veränderungen: Die komplett überarbeitete Grafik bewahrt den ursprünglichen Charme, während die unverkennbaren Synchronstimmen, trotz leichten Alterserscheinungen, nach wie vor überzeugen. Ein gelungenes Remake, das sowohl Nostalgikern als auch neuen Spielern ein unvergessliches Abenteuer bietet.

In our new episode we are talking with Charles Cecil. He is a British video game designer and founder of Revolution Software, best known for games like Broken Sword or Beneath a Steel Sky. The interview section starts at minute 1:03:08 Enjoy!

APÓYANOS si te gusta en https://www.elbatallonpluto.com/mecenas Jugar a Broken Sword era como abrir un libro de aventuras, uno que no queríamos cerrar nunca. Fue un viaje que nos recordó que, incluso en un mundo lleno de conspiraciones y amenazas, siempre hay espacio para la amistad, el coraje y el amor por lo desconocido. Para muchos, este juego dejó una huella imborrable, un recuerdo de tardes explorando cada rincón de la pantalla con el ratón y soñando con descubrir sus misterios. El protagonista, George Stobbart, no era un héroe convencional. Era un hombre común, atrapado en una conspiración más grande de lo que jamás habría imaginado. Y con él, compartimos esa sensación de asombro, de incertidumbre, pero también de valentía al enfrentarnos a enigmas y peligros. Broken Sword nos enseñó que, a veces, los actos más heroicos provienen de las personas más comunes. Y al lado de la periodista Nicole Collard, valiente y determinada, descubrimos que el destino puede unir a las personas en los momentos más improbables. Descubre en este especial todos los detalles sobre la creación y desarrollo de la mítica aventura gráfica de Revolution Software. ------- En este programa han participado Jona (@Akamaru1984), Atreides (@AtreidesXXI) y Sergio Tur (@serturjo).

Maybe it was just me but when I was a kid I thought Revolution Software was a massive game designer. They were everywhere and created some of the greatest point-and-click adventure games ever. I mean, they made Broken Sword, Beneath a Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, In Cold Blood and... Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Okay, maybe the last one was a one off, but they were a powerhouse. Would you believe that Revolution Software was always an inch away from closing on many occasions (and they kind of did one time). In this podcast episode of Adventure Game Hotspot, we sit down and discuss the ups and downs of Revolution Software with co-founder Tony Warriner. We break down some of the most interesting and often time jaw dropping moments that are written in Tony's successful book Revolution: The Quest for Game Development Greatness Stay to the end because Joshua, Jack and Tony each choose their 5 favorite scenes from Revolution Software games. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weirdgamingadventure/support

My guest today is a legendary British video game designer. While a student at Manchester University, a friend invited him to write a text adventure which led him to work for the video game publishers US Gold and, later, Activision. In 1990 he co-founded Revolution Software in the North of England.After releasing Lure of the Temptress and Beneath a Steel Sky, he began work on Broken Sword, a world-spanning adventure game starring the American patent lawyer, George Stobbart and his French girlfriend, Nicole Collard, a freelance journalist. The game had a witty script, was beautifully illustrated, and featured a soundtrack by Barrington Pheloung, the composer of the Inspector Morse TV series, who my guest first met over a game of cricket.After Sony reluctantly brought the game to PlayStation, it became a smash hit, leading to a string of successful sequels. But the course has not always been easy. “The audience for adventure games is limited,” he once told me. “But that audience is incredibly loyal.” Welcome, Charles Cecil MBE.Clips under discussion:Galaxian (Toshio Kai).Opening Theme (Peter McConnell, Michael Land and Clint Bajakian).Super Mario 64 Main Theme (Koji Kondo).Grand Theft Auto III Theme (Craig Conner).Thing 01 (Martin Stig Andersen).All other music by Simon Parkin.

Adventure Game Geek triumphantly returns to the Adventure Game Hotspot podcast as he, Weird Gaming Adventure and Jack Allin discuss Colossal Cave. Did the Williams new adventure live up to expectations? What is the future of Cygnus Entertainment? Speaking of the future? Is VR here to stay in the adventure game genre? We tackle those topics and also speculate on what Revolution Software's next game is going to be. Stay to the end because we each give 5 adventure games that can use a good remaster or needs to be "reimagined".

Saddle up as Chris and Danny head to the Big Apple to tackle arguably the greatest episode of Captain Scarlet (according to Danny) The Heart of New York. Listen as the two lads talk everything from the pronunciation of Doig, freedom powder and make far too many analogies and of cause argue whether is worthy of being called the best episode of Captain Scarlet.  Social Media: Instagram: @spectruminreview For more information on Captain Scarlet: Official Gerry Anderson website Fanderson website  The Gerry Anderson Podcast Captain Scarlet DVD set Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 2017: The Vault:  The Complete Book of Captain Scarlet Stand By For Action! - The Music of Barry Gray  References: Survivor Series, WWE, (1993) Metal Gear Soild Three, Konami Computer Entertainment Japan (2004) Broken Sword 2, Revolution Software, (1997) Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons. "Heart of New York", Century 21 Productions, (1968) E.T.

Si Final Fantasy VII fue el ariete cuya incursión hizo calar el RPG en el mercado occidental a Broken Sword debería concedérsele el honor de haber introducido los point and clicks en el nicho de mercado de las consolas. "La sombra de los templarios" llegó para ser un clavo más en el ataúd de la idea de que todos los juegos eran siempre un "mata mata" que deja de segundo lado el argumento. En el momento en el que Playstation empieza a hacerle guiños a un público más adulto y crítico Revolution Software nos ofreció una entrega con una historia de giros y tensiones que mira de frente a grandes best sellers como El nombre de la Rosa o El código da Vinci. Aunque bastante criticado (y con razón) por lo rebuscado en las resoluciones de algunos de sus puzzles, lo cierto es que después de el vinieron otros con la misma jugabilidad y el cursor en la pantalla se reconcilió con los jugadores a pesar de contar entre las manos con una cruceta o un joystick en lugar de el más intuitivo ratón para este tipo de juegos. Sin duda una gran entrega que hará las delicias de los más nostálgicos y que pondrá a prueba la paciencia de los jugadores más jóvenes. Esperemos que disfrutéis de este programa tanto como nosotros leyendo vuestros comentarios (y haciéndolo :P).

Chris O'Regan chats to Charles Cecil of Revolution Software about the design and development of their adventure game, Beyond a Steel Sky What drives us to play adventure games to their completion?

It's always good to have gaming royalty on the show so we were happy to have Lord Sir Charles Cecil CBE on as our Super-Special Guest this week. He showed his experience by managing to get the most plugs ever within the first minute of his introduction. You don't run a software company for 25 years without developing some good promotional skills. And next month Revolution Software will indeed be 25 years old, so we took an audio tour through the history of Revolution discussing classics like Lure of The Temptress, Beneath A Steel Sky and their little known game called Broken Sword. Charles also spoke about if the point and click game is still dead, announced a special version of Broken Sword that's available next month and also defended videogame journalists against ("The Hateful Eight" - ed). Not only that but he managed to offend Simon as well, which was bound to happen at some point. The bromance is over. John Life Left and Sega Badawi provided us with some features (and we're always open to new ideas for contributions) and we had Dexter make a welcome return to the reviews section. And if you want to be a Super-Special Guest without going to the hassle of creating an amazing game then you can bid for the opportunity to do so at the Super-Special Resonance FM Auction.

For this show, something a bit different. I'm away so won't have time to put out a proper show. Instead, I'll be bookending a Treks in Sci Fi show I did back in September of 2012 where I talk about the great Interplay games Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Star Trek: Judgement Rites. Still though, there's some news: Tim Schafer has stated that the second part of Broken Age has funded and can now begin development. Next, it appears that Descent 1 & 2 are now available on Steam. We then get into the TrekSF episode. It's slightly truncated from the original which ca be found here: http://treksinscifi.com/podcast_notes/?p=2564 Next time, I'll be covering the 1994 Revolution Software adventure, Beneath a Steel Sky. Hope you enjoy the show!

Talk by Charles Cecil MBE, video game designer (Broken Sword series) & Director of Revolution Software, at the Public and Popular History Seminar. Charles Cecil, video game industry legend and creator of the Broken Sword series discusses the uses of historical narratives in video games, and the link to different media like film. In fact, the video game industry has been a bigger industry than film for some years now, and millions of users have their most intensive encounters with representations of the past in front of a computer screen. Just what this means when historical narratives have to be moulded to fit the entertainment objectives of the video game producer is the subject of this multi-media talk by one of the most successful designers in the industry.

Willkommen bei Stay Forever, dem brandneuen Podcast von Gunnar Lott und Christian Schmidt. Erstaunlicherweise ist uns, nach all den Jahren, auch aufgefallen, dass so ein Podcast möglicherweise ein sicherer Weg zu Ruhm und Reichtum ist. Also dachten wir, wir versuchen’s mal. Hier ist unser Erstling. Das Gespräch dreht sich um Revolution Software, Charles Cecil und die Baphomets Fluch-Spiele, mäandert aber zwischendurch auch mal in andere Bereiche.

1996 kam, schon relativ spät in der Hochzeit der Adventures, das aufwändig gestaltete Spiel Baphomets Fluch (Broken Sword) auf den Markt. Entwickler war das kleine englische Studio Revolution Software unter Charles Cecil. Das Spiel fand eine enorm große Fangemeinde und legte den Grundstein für eine der langlebigsten Adventure-Serien. Christian und Gunnar haben die allererste Folge von Stay Forever nochmal ganz neu aufgenommen. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Baphomets Fluch Erscheinungsjahr: 1996 Genre: Adventure Plattform: MS-DOS, Windows (später jede Plattform von GBA bis iOS) Entwickler: Revolution Software Publisher: Virgin Interactive Ltd. Designer: Charles Cecil, Steve Ince Podcast-Credits: Sprecher: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Fabian Langer, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik) Chronist: Herr Anym Community Management: Christian Beuster

We were lucky enough to catch up with Charles Cecil, founder of Revolution Software just days after the re-release of Beneath A Steel Sky on iPhone and iPod Touch. He tells MidLife Gamer that a new IP point and click adventure is still feasible in a modern market, and that he is aiming more for the 'casual market'. He argues that whilst core gamers will play casual games, casual gamers won't play core games, and that many casual gamers are yesterday's core gamers, very familiar with adventures of old. He admits though that the commercial model is different, 'we have to bring the price down'
