Some people still say the adventure genre is dead. Some say it's sleeping. Some say it's reviving and others say the genre has never really been away. Whatever you may say, one thing's assured: there's still a lot of interest in the adventure genre.









Most publishers, however, seem to ignore this. They don't believe the traditional adventure game could make enough money anymore. In an on-the-move society where instant gratification is a must, the gaming public seems to need to always keep their mouse fingers twitching in blazing first person shoot-outs and exhilarating car chases.










This has caused the market to be flooded with mindless action oriented games, leaving us adventure gamers pretty much out in the cold.










Fortunately for us, there are still people out there who do believe in this genre. And that number of people is increasing rapidly for the past few years. We've seen very interesting projects developing by independent studios, sometimes funded by small publishers. Also fans have been creating their own 'amateur' game projects, some good, some bad, some finished, many abandoned.









Adventure Developers is not only here to tell you about all of these interesting games and developing projects, but is also a source for news. Furthermore, we're a place to discuss games, projects and other issues with our visitors. Our forums are available for developers as well, to promote their projects, ask for help, find members for their teams, and more. We also publish articles, tutorials, and other features, sometimes written by (recognised) industry professionals.











In short: we're a place for both those who're interested in playing (independently developed) adventures and for those interested in developing their own games.












We hope you'll all have a pleasant stay.
