One can't help but get the feeling that Yahtzee's creative decisions can be based on how he's feeling, the weather, or possibly even the colour of the underpants he's wearing that day.
The Chzo Mythos (Or certainly the John DeFoe aspect of it) has been completely wrapped up, if you play through the special editions and do some thinking there's absolutely nothing left unanswered. So, don't necessarily assume that if there is another Chzo game, Trilby'd even be in it. If I'm honest, I'd rather see something set in a completely new universe - new characters and so forth; I'd hate to see more Chzo games get churned out and become shit. I mean, it's amazing that the series ties together so well, considering the first two were never written as some sort of giant overarcing story. That's one of the main things that impresses me about the series and Yahtzee's abilities as a storyteller.
AoT being Chzo's doing? Nah, I don't like that. Surely Chzo's first intervention in Trilby's life would be making sure he was in the manor? He wouldn't have had to play any part in Trilby's life before then, just wouldn't have been important. Hey, there's an idea for a game: You play as Chzo, trying to make sure that Trilby's dad gets it on with Trilby's mum, to make sure that Trilby is conceived. Like those Japanese date games.
Anyone?
Fine.
Also, I get the impression (With GFW, 1213, AoT and TN to an extent) That Yahtzee doesn't just want to make point and click games any more, although arguably they are the best sorts of games for telling stories, which are always the strong points of his games. In the commentary for one of his games (SPOILER:The sex scene in 6Das), Yahtzee does talk about practicing for doing bigger, high res stuff, so who knows?
But, that's if he ever makes another game. I can't see it not happening, but who knows?
Fingers crossed some big studio gets the XDaS licence and ruins it, so we can all be proper leet and bitch about it from now until eternity about how it's not like 'the old days' anymore.
