    This is the best news I've heard in weeks...especially considering the fact that Brian Moriarty gave his blessing to these guys.

    I hope they are as dedicated as the AGD Interactive team, because that game looks gorgeous; though the tone looks a lot darker than the first game. Hmm.

    I really need to play LOOM after I play Grim Fandango.

    Had it for years, just sitting there.

    LOOM never interested me, but that screenie is beautiful. Consider me intrigued, if only for the art.

    I loved Loom... but it's hard to imagine a sequel. I thought it was a wonderful stand alone game.

    Also, will the seagulls be there? Monkey Island hasn't been the same since the credits no longer say "Seagull courtesy of Loom."

    Wow. That looks niiiiiiiiiiice. Really liked Loom. Was just a bit....not short.....is empty the right word? I mean, it had enough puzzles and characters...it just didn't feel like it had much soul to it. Still loved it, though. I'd play this baby too.

    If I were working on a fan-sequel, I think I'd do my best to not tell anyone outside the team until it was complete. A work-in-progress game can always get a Cease-and-Desist letter, but a complete game, once uploaded somewhere, can never truly be scrubbed from the internet. And that would be the true victory

    That is always a risk, but on the other hand, you have Zak McKracken 2, which was actually featured on TV before being released and no one up high seemed to care much.

    EDIT:

    Also, there's King's Quest IX, which got so much support from the community, it was rewarded a licence from Vivendi. Of course, that game - unlike Zak 2 - is still not done and probably won't be for a while.

    ooo pretty.... though, I have to wonder how they're going to tweak it to have Bobbin human again.

    I thought the official second part was supposed to be going about taking back the Forge, and was focusing on Rusty Nailbender. It would have been better if they based it on that.
