Hi all,
I haven't visited this forum for a long time (i came here to ask about Poisend Pawn), so please forgive me if I am asking a few questions which have already been discussed before. I am confused about a few things about Jonathan and his games. First let me say that although I am/was somewhat negative about Last Crown, I am very happy for Jonathan that he completed development of a new game and that it will be released soon. I think the Dark Fall series is great and I cannot wait to play it.
So now here are my questions and I am thankful for anyone answering them
- I see that this thread has been started in June, then it suddenly stopped without any explanation and then was continued in November. What happened? Was the original release date in June?
- When I visit the darklingroom website (main page, not link from above) and scroll down, I find a list of games ordered by release date descending. On that page Dark Fall: Storm Warning is mentioned as the 4th game of the Dark Fall series. Ghost Vigil is not mentioned at all. And no link included! How come? Is Ghost Vigil now considered to be the official 4th game of the series? Or is it just some small teaser game just like Midnight Horrow was for the Crown series? Related question: Is there an official announcement or estimation when Storm Warning will be released? Btw, someone should inform Jonathan (i think Anna knows him well?) that the website has a crucial typo. About Darkfall: Lost Souls it says 'A fourth installment of the Dark Fall series a ...'. Correct would be 'third', this mistake confuses the reader, in my opinion.
- What is this Glastonbury game? It looks like a Dark Fall kind of game, true? Any information about the development status of that game? The website says something like 'ticking in the background' so I assume not much is happening on that game?
Kind regards Mike

mike_bn, welcome back! To answer your questions, yes, I am friends with Matt and would say more of an acquaintance with Jonathan, although we are Facebook friends. 1. They announced the game in June, they had lots to tend to in the meantime, particularly preparing for their wedding November 1st, and then their honeymoon. Happy life occasions get priority! When that was over they did their best to give a definitive release date and all was good to their hard drive crashed and they had to rebuild. They are now back and track and will release the new date hopefully this weekend. It's coming! 2. Storm Warning was announced officially here.. I believe it will still be #4, they were calling Ghost #5. but I will confirm and let you know asap. As I stated in the previous answer, they have had a very busy year and they did add the game in the store, but not yet anywhere else. Possibly because it is not published by a publisher. It is theirs exclusively. I will find out the reason and answer when I hear back the official reason. 3. There was an overview of the games here that may answer some questions.Ana

As promised here is the update Matt gave me that I am permitted to share, I am deliberately not posting the rest of the release timeline because I am not in the mood (ever!) for the comments that come out of the woodwork to complain when the timeline isn't met. : Storm Warning is a complex game with FMV actor ghost going into production in 2020 after pre production to test look style design etc.
So DF SW is Dark Fall 5 - initially it was 4 but the tech step was to much.
DF SW may still be rendered nodes with video sections or full 3D - yet to be decided based on tech feedback from DF GV.
DF GV is a full and large game - longer than previous dark fall titles.
DF GV also provides origin story’s to multiple games and characters as ALL JBs games will weave together yet remain single story games themselves.
So - DF GV before Xmas and this is DF4 - Storm Warning production next year so no date yet as it maybe be the year on from that because 2 full crown titles are out in 2020.
Oh, but obviously df storm warning as 5 might slide to 6 if more time is needed for development- this is why at the moment we are using DF GV and DF SW rather than numbers - and web pages do need updating just been bit busy after the technical crashes and losing like 2 months work but 98 % rebuilt now .
Happy Gaming! P.S. As soon as the game is available I promise I will post! I am eagerly awaiting just like all of you!

plumgas, Silent Night is a game that is being released through a publisher, this one they are self publishing so can control it better. It is scheduled Q1 2020.

Dark Fall is alive and well and I'm playing as I type! It is beautiful in a haunting Dark Fall way and it is worth the wait! It will be available soon for purchase but in the meantime check out some screenshots I took on our GameBoomer FaceBook Page here. No account is required to view a FB page! Just wanted to reassure everyone that it exists, it's awesome and it's coming soon to a computer near you!

Dark Fall will be available tomorrow! It's magical and worth the wait! Looking forward to tomorrow, ghost hunters! 👻 Ghost Vigil kicks off a new year, rather than the end of the last. After missing our original dates, it’s actually been fun and rewarding to chill out and finish properly. I was still adding more up until the 28th, so I’m glad we had a bit of breathing space.
Also, just a reminder, that the new Dark Fall comes with a soundtrack (my weirdest yet) and also The Displacement, my first game from 1999. Set in a Victorian house, frozen in time, it’s a puzzle solver made for friends and family. Which will now include you!
It’ll be strange releasing something so personal, but it is a game in its own right, so should make an interesting curio for adventure collectors. Thinking caps on! 💡Gadgets in hand! 📹 Let’s solve a mystery or two. 🧩
