I know, I thought he was dead too. I know I'd have killed myself if I'd made Heart of Darkness (I kid, Eric, I...kid). But later faux pas aside, the guy did make Another World (cue THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE), and not only that went and released it for free on GBA, so he's alright in my books.

As for what he's been up to since HoD's less-than-stellar reception, he says he's been into playing Shenmue 2 and "travelling, painting, volcano photography and sound synthesis programming". Which...well, actually sounds like a good way to spend a decade. Now, though, he says he's working on a new game concept: what ever could it be?

The closest hint I can convey is it a strategy game but I can't tell anything more for now

OK, Eric, I'm curious. But only if you can't tell us anything because it's so awesome our primitive, genre-bound minds just aren't ready for it yet. Luke Plunkett
