New Al Lowe game?

#1 Post by pbpb33 » Sun Jul 12, 2009 11:35 pm

I remember a few yeargs ago it was announced that Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry's original designer) would be coming out with a new game called Sam Suede. Has that project been totally abandoned? Any chance Al Lowe's game designing comeback is still in the works?

There's an old thread explaining why the game got cancelled. It seems the game was good and funny, but also was innovative, and people with money in the industry didn't want to put money on it, admitting that they only put money on clones because "it's easier to know if a game will sell looking at previous results of very similar games".

Al Lowe was so angry with the current state of the industry of videogames, that he dismantled his studio and said he would not do another game again.
