Next game Just wondering

No offence to the Y-man intended. It's just thats its been a while since his last game and I was wondering why he hasn't posted any teasers yet. I mean, I know he's busy, but it has been almost 9 months since 6DAS.

If he is working on something right now, it's probably slowed down quite a bit by ZP. Even if he made enough money from special editions to keep him sipping mojitos on some exotic island resort for a few decades, he's not under contract to make games -- he's under contract to make reviews.
And quite frankly, compared to other game developers, Yahtzee is pretty prolific. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another game in the not-too-terribly-distant future. Just gotta be patient.

Nah, I was just thinking, normally when someone posts a topic like this, we hear word of a new game within a week. Now we get to see if this theory is true, if Y-man waits 8 days just to bugger the plan, or if its just balls.

<arien> Um... is it a sequel to GFW?
<Yahtzee> No.
<arien> Crap.

<blueskirt> Does the next game has complex gameplay element like GFW or 1213 had?
<Yahtzee> Yes.
<blueskirt> Woo!
<arien> Nice
<Yahtzee> I had an interview with a company for a game design gig
<Yahtzee> And they told me that I had a great talent for story-based games but not much else
<Yahtzee> So with this one I'm emphasising gameplay
<Yahtzee> This one pretty much has no adventure elements at all
<Yahtzee> Well, there are puzzles, I guess

<AdamM> No shit? Finished it that quickly?
<CJ_Marren> Is it for the new game? Puzzley thingy?
<Yahtzee> Still some minor shit to do but then it's the weekly nag email routine again

Yahtzee, I know you usually get your testers from an unbiased, anonymous 3rd party website, but I'll volunteer anyway.
I'm surprised, actually. By a couple of things. I didn't think a new game would be this close to release. And as far as gameplay is concerned, Teddy Murder was pretty original and, while not hugely replayable, had all the fundamentals there. Better than a PopCap game, anyway, but they're all pretty derivative.

The theory is proven beyond all possible doubt. If Y-Man was happy with my previous betaing I'd be happy to go again. It would be nice to have something to listen to this time, rather than watching masses and masses of people getting killed in complete silence.

I've gotten most of the music from mods and I just want him to tweak one of the tracks a bit and when that's done it'll be about ready for testing.
I could be a tester. If you are worried about me telling the sheeple anything about the game, don’t be. For the power of knowledge I would have over them would trample any thoughts I would have of squealing.
