Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I hope Episode 3 comes out soon... but I also don't want them to rush it. I'd rather the epic amazing continue for as long as possible... but then again, as long as it has Tycho and Gabe in it... I'll be buying it.
However, Ep.1 released in May of last year. So...
On the other hand, it was also announced in August of 2007...
Whatever is going on, they're definitely not talking about it.
You're muckin' with a G!
same here
my wife is better than I am =(
Xaquin's Manly Knitting Blog! Conquest Tactics .... a better CCG
It's a reasonable explanation. But it shouldn't be considered 'fact' until officially confirmed.

May 6th 12:27pm - 3dRealms announce they are shuttting down due to lack of funding.o_O
Regardless of what site you're on, you're still on the internet. There will always be retards - ThisGuy
So, what are you saying that HH now has eleven and a half more years of saying "we're working on it" and release a couple screenshots every five years or so and then they will shut down. 3D realms has nothing ot do with PAA 3.
I agree they will probably announce something by PAX however that still leaves me a tad peeved. Other game companies will announce that their game has been postponed or will be coming out early and their fans will react with praise or boos. This company, it seems, wants to leave us in the dark so that they don't have to hear us complain about a later release date. Its like they rather just keep us wondering. Or maybe they don't like to face the truth about where they stand with the project.
Heh /end rant
Cheers to the eventual release of this awesome game!:lol:

'We're doing stuff.'
'What stuff?'
'Stuff.'

Well that guy was me, and I make every effort not to be full of shit.
I will say sorry for the radio silence lately though. There's not really anything nefarious behind it. Basically with the gazillion hats many of us end up wearing in a small studio, keeping up-to-date with all the goings on on the various forums has slipped lately. We still read all the comments and feedback and love hearing it. And we're glad you're looking forward to the next episode.
Last year we were pretty singularly focused on getting Episode One and Two out. This year sees a whole bunch more on our plate: we're in full swing on DeathSpank and are working on getting Swarm off the ground as well. And we spent a bunch of time hiring a new boss! (http://www.hotheadgames.com/blog/?p=105).
We don't have anything new to say on Episode Three right now, but I wanted to at least poke my head up and make sure you knew Hothead hadn't fallen into the sea.
Cheers,
Joel
For all it's worth, I second this question.
The world may never know, but i really hope this game comes out soon.:lol:
When will we see Jim Darkmagic in PAA? My preference lies somewhere between "soon" and "immediately".
Man it'd be weird seeing Jim Darkmagic in PAA. Its like Gabe who is Mike, who also plays Jim, they're interacting...and Tycho is there and is like sup. It is breaking the 4th wall...of something I tells ya!
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
Both are highly anticipated by their fanbase
Both are the 3rd episode
Both have melee weapons
Both have guns
Both have swarms of mindless enemies (zombies/hobos)
Both have support charecters
Both have a main character with a name starting with the letter "G"
Both are in almost total media blackouts
The similarities are astounding!!!
You know, I also noticed a problem with three's Sam and Max season 3 is also in a blackout.
I didn't think Sam & Max Season 3 had even been announced.
Same goes for me. I used to go here at least a few times a week, pretty much any morning when I got to work, and so forth. Now, it's more like once every two weeks, in hope of more news.
Either way, a "we're still here" every now and then is good enough, but to an extent.
How far along is the episode? Anyone can understand if there are other projects with higher priority and whatever other reason, all we (I) ask (humbly) is that HH log on here every once in a while and update us that hunger for this story to unfold.

Not really good enough. I know it's not your personal fault, but please, there's no point in posting empty guff and pretending like it's an answer to our concerns.
I cry because the first were so much fun and the waiting and not knowing is the hardest to bear. I'd play through the first two again, but they would just end up making me sad because then I'd have no three to play afterwards.
There might have been new concerns that releasing Ep. 2 so close to the first one hurt its sales because some people might have been (and continue to be) confused that it is, in fact, a separate title. Price may also still be a significant barrier of entry, and a potential miscalculation on the size of the buying audience as well.
I expect they're still committed to the project. But Hot Head may have taken the opportunities PAA provided and began to focus a little more on other, more potentially rewarding titles financially speaking, and slow down the development of PAA altogether.
