The next Venture has begun...

Dinosauria is in development. Here's the official announcement.

Dinosaurs live in our collective imagination as the end of things - the crumbling bone, the violently deceased. We imagine flesh ripped from scales and meteors scarring the earth. Through dinosaurs we imagine our own extinction - grey, dusty, lifeless.

If you were to look to the sky a year before the meteor came hurtling from the sky, what would you see?

If you were to peer through the foliage, would you notice the teeming life in the valley beyond?

Venture Dinosauria is about the chaos and color of life on Earth in the first days of flowers, in the last days of lizards.

We're working hard, follow our progress on the blog...

Andy this is too cool! Great idea for the Venture series. You should talk with Spilman's guys about their Be the Dinosaur project for artwork / animation.

Great Andy, and don't forget to think about non english speaking children in the process.

I really want to buy your games as long as my kids can deal with them on their own (mostly).
