![]() ![]() ![]() I first bought Darklands in Spring '93 - it's never left my HDD ever since. Thank you AJH! I was/am more than happy to do it. Yasha の投稿を引用:Matt (mwirkk) - thanks for keeping the Darklands discussion group alive, and updating us about this interesting bit of news. However, if your intent was commerical rather than academic, I'd urge you discuss potential business considerations with them as well. Someone looking for source data should probably start there. The Museum does make elements of its collection available to visiting scholars. These he has now donated to "The Strong National Museum of Play" in Rochester, New York (in western New York State). (Doug has moved on and now successfully runs "Breakaway Games" which mostly does medical training simulations.) Fortunately for posterity, he apparently found old some code and documents related to the original game. On another front, I recently heard from Doug Whatley, a programmer who worked heavily on the original game. However, it might just be confirmation of my opinion that updating the graphics of Darklands would be large, expensive undertaking, not to mention trying to bring its code into a relatively modern format. Since my contact info (as Arnold Hendrick) is available on Steam, and in Linkedin, it's not because I've disappeared off the face of the planet. I have not been contacted by anyone associated with Ziggurat about anything, which could suggest that Darklands is not at the top of their "rework" list. Matt (mwirkk) - thanks for keeping the Darklands discussion group alive, and updating us about this interesting bit of news. There's only very scant content to this point to be found there, however. Ziggurat Interactive now have finally established a presence in the ole' interWeb: I still don't know what the current status of how Tommo Inc., NightDive Studios, or Retroism might currently fit in with all of this is. ![]() 5, 2019, and shares the same "agent" as COSMI ValuSoft LLC in that state. is listed as a business registered near Denver, Colorado (USA), Sept. (I think likely there is something there, though.) Ziggurat Interactive, Inc. I'm not so sure now what the relationship between Ziggurat Interactive and COSMI/ValuSoft might be, iff in fact there is one. Hopefully more to come.ītw- I'll be cross-posting this on the GOG Darklands boards, and on the Darklands group list at: Not much has been confirmed, so it's partly conjecture. So, the proverbial fruit may not have fallen so far from the tree, after all. This is echoed on the Retroism site as well. website (the last confirmed owners of the Darklands IP that I knew of - since July 2013), ValuSoft Cosmi is listed as one of their publishing partners through their Retroism brand. ![]() (There was also a Zigurat Software S.L., spelled with a single "G", that published 8-bit titles in the 80's, but they haven't been active since 1992.) The titles listed for Ziggurat on Steam and the catalogs of Cosmi ValuSoft line up. On MobyGames there's a company listing for Ziggurat Interactive that published a couple of Mobile, Sony and Nintendo ports in 2006-2007, but I can't be sure (yet) that the two entities are related. It looks likely that it's a (new?) subsidiary or division of COSMI/ValuSoft, called Ziggurat Interactive, Inc. ![]()
