Fusing elements loosely based on Jamaican culture with elements of science fiction, all with a pinch of Grim Fandango is a Journey Down The recipe for success. Previously released as a freeware title that served as a prototype, this final exchange of the visual pixelart by detailed 3D models and scenarios with good quality art complete with folding and a good soundtrack. The adventure begins with the two heroes Bwana and Kito having some problems with your energy company. Your business has ups and downs recently and has always been low, which leaves our characters unable to pay its bills. Now in darkness, they look for a creative way to get around it, with predictably disastrous results, so they need to find another source of funds to pay the debts.
"While SkyGoblin's The Journey Down: Chapter one does have an interesting story and characters. The game is far too simple and moved far too slowly for my liking, and this is the reason why" - P Albert, TGG.
James writes - "Point and click adventures have been around for many a year, with classics like Monkey Island and, my personal favourite, Sam & Max being amongst the best of the genre. More recently though, there’s a been a ton of different takes involving all sorts of concepts and the latest one to hit the Xbox One store is the first chapter of SkyGoblin’s The Journey Down trilogy. Initially releasing on the PC well over five years ago, does The Journey Down still hold up nowadays and, if so, can it stick out in an ever-growing crowd?"
Recently, there's been a lot of talk about how little diversity is in the video game industry. “It can’t all be white males," Peter Moore recently stated. "As a result, I think that hiring managers at EA over the last couple of years have had a sharper focus on diversity. I know that my teams around the world have.”
Gamespresso's Sheldon Jones tries taking the "glass half-full" approach for the first time in his life and looks for signs, if any, of increasing video game developer diversity.
When they mean 'sharper focus on diversity', do they mean quotas? Shouldn't businesses and other organisations for that matter, hire on merit rather than sex, race, or religion?
