welcome @Papikit! I have to say… I envy you! 😄 I wish I were in that sweet period of the 1st playthrough. Like you did, I also took my time, savored every pixel and took it veeeery slow. ---

> [@Someone](#): > > Are you still working on it? 😃 Sure! Only slower than planned, but the project is going on. The most difficult part is to record a lot of people living in different regions/locations, in a reasonable amount of time. Then, some actors which started to record their lines, decided not to collaborate with the project anymore, so we had to choose other actors. 38 characters for almost 30 different people to record. Of course, Ron did it in 1 month, paying the actors to work 8 hours per day. Anyway, if nobody is in a hurry, we are free and willing to complete the project compatibly with our life’s priorities. ---

It is one of my favourites too. Hands down the best 3D adventure I ever played. I’d recommend you to play it with a friend on the forum here who hasn’t played it either or wants to replay, so you can give each other gentle hints rather than using a walkthrough (ugh) or even UHS. Hey! You _both_ haven’t played Grim yet… What a coincidence! ---

Well I do still have the game on my iPad and I’ve got a holiday coming up so maybe I should try again. I didn’t get very far, I remember I kept getting balloon animals and not knowing what to do with them! Yes I’ve decided I will try again. Will keep you posted! Also I have read the threads on this forum but do we think Ron will make another game of this calibre. I wish i was rich and could just bankroll him!! I’m looking forward to introducing my son to these games, he’s only 2 but I can’t wait to do them all with him. ---

> [@Papikit](#): > > I’m looking forward to introducing my son to these games, he’s only 2 but I can’t wait to do them all with him. Even though my son was only 8 or 9 at the time, I let him play TWP with me. It was great to share a game we both loved! :reyes: :ransome: Ron did say on his blog he’s working on a top-down style RPG, but it seems private at the moment. I think after all the work Ron did with the podcasts/backer rewards for the last game, his next game won’t be on kickstarter. ---

@yrface I think playing these games and watching my son (hopefully) loving them and getting frustrated when he us stuck will make me so happy!! I don’t think we would play the really old ones like maniac mansion because I don’t find the look exciting these days. Probably play the classics that have been remastered and then TWP. Well if he’s got the backing or money happy days, but I would chip in if it was a Kickstarter. ---

> [@Papikit](#): > > I don’t think we would play the really old ones like maniac mansion because I don’t find the look exciting these days. We played Maniac and also Zak McKracken together, too. He did surprisingly well for a kid. The retro art style doesn’t bother me, I love the nostalgia factor as it reminds me of good times growing up. I’ll have to try the SE editions at some point, too. ---

Let him be the judge of that! My 7 year old prefers to play all the EGA versions over the VGA of the first games (MM, Zak and Loom). And I didn’t pressure him into it - moreover since I spent a lot of time into making a fan translation of the VGA FM-towns version of Loom for him and _still_ he prefers the EGA one (also translated by the way) ---
