I loved creative writing in high school and college, plus I took several classes on writing, editing and publishing, etc. So, I found the interview regarding writing and The Insite (correct spelling ) very interesting. Great topics regarding the writing and thought processes, background knowledge relating to fiction, the personal commitment, the audience's reception to the work, among others. One thing I've seen from several sources is well defined characters help write the story. Has Annie ever experienced a scenario where she planned to write one thing, but got closer to that point in the story and realized it just didn't work based on the characters. (In other words, it could feel "forced"). Although, to comment on one particular thing she said: If I was the kind of person that read the last page of the book first, then giving away the protagonist died on page 1 could be considered a spoiler.

I'm really grateful you've been taking the time to make these. Lucasarts adventure games were a huge part of my childhood, so hearing these stories from the people behind the magic is really fascinating. I've actually been replaying The Dig, and I'm excited to go listen to that "Jawbone" line again :D

It's a difficult career - but hese musicians have a better time, more interesting stories than anyone else!

This was very interesting to Charlie's stories of his early career and development through him finding (pushing?) his way to where he wanted to be through some real determination. Reminds me somewhat of my early career where you just want to get your foo in the door but know you can do more. LucasArts, Pixar, Dreamworks...very impressive resume working on some amazing projects! I never had the chance to play Outlaws, but loved the smooth footage shown this stream. Thanks for giving your time @DanielAlbu and @Charlie! (The Dig people were sequestered in their own building?!? Did LucasArts slide their meals under the door? )

Good stuff. Very interesting. I love to hear about technical aspects about the music and sound mixing and stuff at lucas arts. Especially the music and sound effect mixing. Mcconnell and this guy we're very interesting.

Great interview. Again, there was so much insight. For example I really loved the details about choosing the Gone Jackals for Full Throttle. Since you got in a hurry towards the end end and didn‘t get to Escape, Return, Psychonauts, etc., maybe this gives you a good pretext to go for a sequel one day ;-)

Thank you, Daniel. Awesome getting some insights into the legend Michael Land. One of the nuggets I took away was the comment regarding Alan Hovhaness and "Mysterious Mountain." I immediately looked it up. I'm always curious how creatives are influenced.

I really enjoyed this interview so far. How did you managed to contact Michael Land?

A request: could you identify the role of the person in the video title please? I'm only interested in game design not illustrators or composers, just game design to learn from them.

As usual for the channel, it was a great interview, but I must admit this was the most enjoyable one, just because Khris is such an incredibly positive, charming and interesting person. That energy, that laugh, that visible love for all things mentioned is simply amazing. I wish more people like that existed. The world would be a much better and sunnier place.

*"Ladies and gentlemen, if you look to your left, you will see nothing but water! Yes, that's right, nothing but water."*

What an awesome, well prepared and structured interview, you blew my mind.

One of the good guys in a good interview. Hope he cannot be replaced with AI.

Grim fandango truly is his masterpiece IMO

An amazing career and some great insights!

Amazing interview, great questions as always Daniel. Great job and thanks so much Peter!

First. Also, so glad to see and hear Peter talking - Full Throttle was a big part of my childhood, and the OST had a big part of it being so memorable!

woop! Full Throttle, Monkey Island and Grim Fandango were all a huge part of my childhood growing up

He's one of my favorite composers! I love the version of the Monkey Island theme that's in the background of the Return to Monkey Island trailer. It is not available on the soundtrack. I dream of the day when he publishes it without the sound effects!!!

Industry Legend - well-deserved.

Amazing 🥇

There’s a question I’ve been dying to ask Michael, Clint, or Peter. Whose idea was it to use the Dies Irae theme for the God Machine at the end of Indy FoA? Because that was genius! Even more chilling than the same tune’s appearance in The Shining.

Love Francisco González. Remember playing the Ben Jordan games when they were coming out; The AGS site was such a great time for adventure game fans after the Sierra and LucasArts torches went out.

Another great interview! Informative and entertaining. Francisco seems like a really cool dude. I'm really excited for 'Rosewater'...I've been a fan of all of his commercial games, but I wasn't aware of his early stuff; I'll have to check some of them out. I also had no idea about his voice acting credits, either (guess I need to read the credits more often)...makes me want to revisit the Wadjet Eye library and spot him. Keep up the good work, both of you!

You gotta get Yahtzee on now for an ego re-review.

First of all I have to say I really enjoy these interviews and you do a great job, Daniel! 🤩 But I do you to criticize one point. The actual topic (Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix) begins only after 79 minutes into the actual interview! That’s almost the length of a movie! There should be some sort of indicator for that! Other viewers might not have the patience to even reach that point.

Fantastic interview!!! The composers of the LucasArts games are my all-time favorites. I love the version of the Monkey Island theme that's in the background of the Return to Monkey Island trailer. It is not available on the soundtrack. I dream of the day when he publishes it without the sound effects!!!

Thank you for this video. I enjoy it. But I opine, that most people would rather hear about new game than about buying a box of a very old release on ebay. None the less, good effort.

Thanks Al for all these good games and countless hours of fun and frustration :) I learned english from Sierra Games. Notably Larry, Police Quest and Space Quest. As a Kid I loved Space Quest sooo much :) What about the Two Guys from Andromeda? I can't find Interviews with them. That would be great if someone would make an interview like this one!

Increible compositor! increible musica!! dio un muy gran porcentaje de estimulo para jugar a esas aventuras graficas!! abrazo desde Argentina!!

Wonderful interview! I finally got to listen to it all, and I gotta say, even though it was about a game that wasn't created, there were so many interesting topics to talk about. Makes me wonder what the music of each of those game mentioned could have been like 😊

Gabriel Knight 3 is severely underrated. The atmosphere in that game is unparalleled. And like Daniel said the 3D made sense in the context of the gameplay and wasn't just a gimmick.

Another phenomenal interview!

Thanks for these streams/interviews, Daniel. You got us Indy fans eating good. Sad to hear of so many cancelled projects. At least some of the concepts lived on in the novels by Max McCoy and comics.

Nice talk! Story sounds a little crazy but maybe its always like that before it comes together in the end product. Fun to see some art and boards. I cant believe how positive everyone seems to be about AI-generated stuff. How depressing that no-one values the human touch, the endeavor and effort to create, and think endless automated remakes, rehashes and remixes are just as cool. =( The end of humanity.

You really should add chapters to those loooooong interviews

the legend

Hi Daniel, not sure if you’ll see this, but I recently was passed down two original Ken Macklin artworks, I’d love to have him sign it for me. Maybe you could pass a message along, if not I totally understand.

Very cool. Kq6 was the first game I played on PC at maybe 10 years old and it really has a special place in my heart. That world mixed with Jensens sensibilities really was an amazing combo, one wonders how some of the other entries couldve turned out with her writing and ideas. Couldve listened to hours more of just the design of that, and more of what got cut. Having Jollos heart not broken in the end was probably a good call from Roberta though, if nothing else it would have messed up the bittersweet -> maximum happiness ramp-up of the different endings.

Thanks for this! Why didn't you ask anything about Moebius?

The best interview with Jane. Thank you, Daniel! Hope to see more about GK in the future!

Well hot diggity. I'm glad I found this. Great stuff. I miss the good old adventure days.

1:00:00 PLEASE make it a FULL traditional PIXEL Adventure Game!

Playing GK 2 made me start book hunting for a copy of the novel. It took me years until I, well, my sister actually, got me the GK 2 book on paperback. Wonderful memories.

Me : I'm the biggest Jane fan ever. Daniel : Hold my beer. This was an amazing, AMAZING well thought out and researched interview I have ever seen. From a fellow fan, thank you so much for this Daniel.

Great interview!

LOVE THIS!!! She is a wonderful writer and game designer!! I visited New Orleans and Germany solely because of her work!!!

I never played the Gabriel Knight games back then...I wish I did, they look great! Its very nice to listen to this lovely interview. I have always wanted to see more interviews with the old Sierra developers as they had huge impact on my life. Thank you Jane Jensen for the wonderful discussion.

Great interview Daniel! Lots of insights and details as usual!

35:05 - I can confirm the GK2 script was released for Kickstarter backers at a certain pledge tier. I have both of them saved - "GK2_GDD_Tech_Script1" (385 pages) and "GK2-GDD-Film-Script" (785 pages).
