A conversation with the legendary creator of Gabriel Knight and Gray Matter, regarding her new company, the new game Moebious, the current industry trends and her views on the future.
Marcus Estrada writes: "2012 was a massive year for Kickstarter and gaming. It was the year that both Double Fine Adventure and Ouya campaigns appeared. Everyone in the game development scene was trying to bring their product to the masses via the site, and that included many industry icons. Jane Jensen was one of these people. Best known for her work on the Gabriel Knight series, she pitched a campaign to bring forth a new development studio known as Pinkerton Road. Not only that, but she would be creating a new game similar in tone to the classic Gabriel Knight games."
