Dear Esther Ready To Go For Early 2012

Earlier in the year I lost my MP3 player with a bunch of untranscribed interviews on it. The most interesting of these recordings was an interview with Dan Pinchbeck, the games researcher who has turned to making games, starting with a remake of his Half-Life 2 mod, Dear Esther. The remake, which is being done with fabulous new art (above) in the Portal 2 engine, is apparently all but finished, and will appear in January or February next year. Hopefully, around that same time, I'll be able to redo my interview with Dan and see what he's learned from the process. Take a look through here for some more fantastic images of Pinchbeck's spooky narrated explore 'em up.
