Alas, some complications have arisen.











Experience, as amazing as it looks like it will be, is without a publisher for now. Being such a risky project, it's no surprise publishers are rather hesitant to pick this game up. Personally, I think Experience is bound to be one heck of a cash cow. I wonder where that term came about actually, after all, Jack only got beans for his beloved cow.

I think one of the problems that is keeping publishers from wanting the game is the fact that Experience is too far along in development for a publisher to step in and take control. But at the same time it isn't far enough along for publishers to try an almost finished product and just advertise and distribute the game. Things are going to change soon though, as I have little doubt Experience will succeed. Physics based games haven't made a great name for themselves, but we can't hold Trespasser's failure against The Whole Experience team. And besides, Trespasser didn't feature a conspiracy did it? I know, however, that there is one lurking in the depths of Experience. I asked a simple question to Jeff Connelly of the Whole Experience team, "Are the Bio-Beasts in cohorts with the evil monkeys?" His answer initially says yes, but then no, and then he tries to confuse me!

Jeff says, "Why yes, yes they are. I mean no. Who are the monkeys again, do you mean that old TV show?"

I think that pretty much talks for itself. It practically spells out "C-O-N-S-P-I-R-A-C-Y." This is where I take an illogical stance and denounce all who disagree, screaming and ranting that they are among the conspirators. I also support anyone with valid information about the conspiracy, even if it is information taken from a wino in a bad part of … Earth. See I am very rational! Let mass hysteria set in! Muwahahahah!

Ok, I'm better now. Just needed some Prozac to calm me down. At least, I believe it is Prozac, though each individual pill says in big letters: Sugar Pills ™, for your Placebo needs. Where was I? Oh, finishing up this preview. It should be mentioned that the previous plans for a Dreamcast Experience port are now rather slim, so don't expect to be playing Experience off of the PC - at least right now. I can safely say Experience is something to watch for in the coming months. Keep your eyes glued to its development, and pray a demo will grace our beloved cyber space soon. In good time, my friends, in good time.
