Doubtful Sound

Yesterday we released the screenshots on our page for The Shattered Medallion. These are most of the environments you get to explore on location of Pacific Run. This one here below, Doubtful Sound, feels very much like when we kayaked around Deception Island. (Wow, that was a long time ago!)

The Shattered Medallion: Doubtful Sound

A small part of this environment will be featured in the official trailer, which releases on YouTube on Tuesday. (Yay!)

Speaking of trailers, this weekend for our Nancy Drew marathon we will be watching all of the YouTube trailers for the past Nancy Drew games. Since I, personally, like saving the best things for last, I plan to start with the first game trailers, watching them in order, leading up to The Silent Spy...and finishing with the teaser for The Shattered Medallion. This way we prepare to watch the official trailer on Tuesday.

Come back tomorrow! We *may* share more info with you this weekend!

Designing a Room: Abby

I was digging through our art archives again (still one of my favorite pastimes) and came across some art I did not recognize in Message in a Haunted Mansion, so of course, I'm sharing. (^.^)

Check it out! Some early room designs for Abby Sideris! The first two, of course, were design ideas that didn't make the cut. The last one was the final choice, and what you see in the game.

The first seems like a room Nancy would stay in; it's pretty, simple and charming. The second looks more like a traditional country bedroom...or maybe even a Victorian-themed room which would be appropriate for the house. I personally like the last design, it best suits Abby with its dark purples and night-sky feel. Quite celestial!

Twitter quote contest is going on now, head over and participate for a chance to win a Message in a Haunted Mansion digital guide!

Also, new poll on your right!

We've had a long, relaxing weekend, and today we return to the office with several things to share! There is a lot to cover today, so let me make it simple:

For those of you who solved the weekend puzzle, you knew ahead of time that we were going to release these today. Here's the solution to the puzzle:

Find the missing characters' names:
[Colin Baxter, Tony Scallari, Louis, Kyler, Leela Yadav, Gilbert, Ethel, Andy, Ollie, Corey, Hotchkiss, Connie Watson, Yumi, John Grey, Shorty, Renate, Simone, Jeff Akers].

Then take out each letter that is replaced by a number, and re-order the names' letters to get this sentence: [Screenshots Tuesday]. Voila! Congrats!

Also, happy belated birthday to Rachel N.!
Hope you had a great birthday!
