Perfect! My Collector’s Edition is on the way now. Did you find my interview about Fate of Atlantis SE?
MINE ARRIVED!! Woo! It’s freaking awesome! I have been searching for books similar to this for years a “art of video games” type book, but it’s just perfect that it’s for point and clickers. The quality and effort put into this book and collectors edition, is astounding! 10/10 for me!
I really like the Floppy disk - USB flash pen!!
Fly… I mean Find? Yes! Read? No!
I haven’t forgotten about it! But my book is also still on its way, should arrive next week.
teaser…
I did and unboxing of it, for those on the fence! It is awesome!
Great unboxing, everybody seeing this just has to buy the book immediately!
Btw., that’s low-pixel-Rincewind from Discworld
@milanfahrnholz Have you read the definition of RPG in this book? Hehe.
Hm, you?
I´m right though
After I made the video, and put it up! I had a second look at it and realised I was wrong I didn’t know his name though so thanks
Can you believe they have made pixel art of pixel art? What an awesome book.
Is there anything on the floppy disk usb that came with the limited edition of the book? Well I did a video to find out!
I just received two of those books, both collectors editions… I think, 40$ or 55EU per each? not sure…
Floppy disk USB has 1GB. I also love the magnets, I can make lots of adventure games quotes on my fridge!
There are several great contributors, some of them became my friends during Indiana Jones development and I am also making a remakes of their games right now.
Bought the PDF for 11,86 € and I am very satisfied. The quality is very good. The PDF is over 330 MB big.
The second edition of The Art of Point-and-Click Adventure Games will be published in July. It now includes the Quest for Glory games and interviews with Corey/Lori Cole and Ken Williams!
I wonder if previous buyers get an updated digital version.
Sam Dyer of Bitmap Books confirmed in the Q&A section that previous buyers will get an updated digital version:
We will circulate the updated PDF for free but I’m afraid we don’t really offer discounts as believe it or not, our margins are already very tight. Sorry. Sam
The third edition of the book will be available in July:
Third Edition updates
This is the third edition of The Art of Point-and-Click Adventure Games, featuring an additional 28 pages. These have enabled inclusion of additional interviews with Dave Grossman, Dave Gilbert and Joel Staaf Hästö. Also included are a few additional games, such as Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet, Syberia, Scooby-Doo Mystery, Strangeland and Genesis Noir.
The third edition will also include one of my favourite games: Gemini Rue.
This article talks a bit about this third edition, publishing also an excerpt of an interview with Dave Grossman.
I’m not sure which edition I have, buy I suppose it’s the first one.
