hello all, newbie here. couple of questions.
1) pick any ( or a couple of) Wintermute games and try to guess which demographic you think
it was most successful in and why ??
I pick the Art of Murder (City Interactive) - even though it has a female lead I think because it has an action feel

Lost Crown (by Darkling Room) - definitely a cult following AND I would guess female under 30
(having a Ouija board in a game is a sure winner for a cult following !! )
2) Do you think it's possible to hold the audience attention in an adventure game, that does not involve a dead person.

interest. I use to try and convince myself that a happy go lucky game full of cotton candy and buttery popcorn
would hold my interest - it won't.

I pick 'Bickadoodle' and my guess regarding its audience is those who like stories such as the legend of King Arthur.

If you use Resource Hacker, you can change the values in the EXE to reflect your game name in the title bar. I've done it on a few games I made and it works perfectly.
