Abstract

Revolution Software, the developer of the Broken Sword series, is remastering the original game for modern platforms. Co-founder Charles Cecil discusses the mismanagement that has led to the closure of other studios and criticizes the lack of vision in the industry. He also highlights the challenges faced by independent developers, such as foreign ownership of British publishing labels and pressure from big publishers. Despite these challenges, Revolution Software has survived by retaining ownership of its intellectual property and capitalizing on its fanbase. The remastered version of Broken Sword: Shadow Of The Templars will have updated controls and gameplay improvements based on user feedback. The article also mentions the studio's plans for a new game in the series, Broken Sword: Parzival's Stone, which is based on the Cathars and their connection to the Holy Grail. The studio is considering revisiting the 3D graphics of Broken Sword 3. [Extracted from the article]
