Dr.M. has stolen our marketing plans, taken our game masters, absconded with our video trailers, and pilfered our contracts! Coala suggests that we should track down the evil Dr., but how in the world can we do that? We know that he has our "Get HUGE" formula, and we suspect that Dr. M. is going to the headquarters of our next publisher--and we know it's one of the five we've already mentioned in our CDP Days Conference this Spring. One of our clever developer guys pointed out that the only way that Dr. M. could have found GOG's secret headquarters (as opposed to our regular, non-secret one) would be to have put a tracking device somewhere. We've tracked Dr. M's tracker (ha! Take that, evil!) and we're plotting his location on a world map with each of our possible upcoming publishers' locations in them. Keep tuned for more updates as we triangulate on the signal and try to track down...the DASTARDLY DR. M.!


the mysterious Dr. M. made his appearance was way back in September, when we re-launched and moved the service out from the beta. Now, with the big announcement quickly approaching, it seems that Dr. M. has come out of the shadow once again. What's he up to this time? Find out more in the tale of great horror, entitled "Dr. M. & The Dastardly Doom". What horrors await? What grim future is coming to GOG.com?

We'll be posting the next pages of the comic in the next days so stay tuned to this news post as the story will reveal more info on Dr. M. and the secret briefcase!

mrkgnao: Talking about dragon -- this promo does drag on a bit, does it not?
Next time a two-three day stint would be more than enough for me, GOG (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean...)

GameRager: If they did this I would die....since I put so much on a DNF preorder already and i'd be torn between supporting Gog and getting a box full of feelies.

Kakihara: *dude you're blowing my cover. This way I'll be THAT much more excited if it's EA ;) *

GameRager: A fellow rationalistic speculator? Awesome :brofists:

Yeah, why can't everyone be like us? Not losing all excitement because of being too rational and not overhyping things and ending up disappointed.

Duke wouldn't allow it though....you know he needs all that money to maintain his vast empire, right? ;)

the game's main gameplay feature is an ego bar.... nothing more ego-boosting than charity :D

Yes but there's good, bad, and LAME ego....charity to Duke is lame ego...unless it's to fund the micro-bikini jr. high swim team or something.

Now that we know it's going to be Lucasarts, what do you think is going to be the first release? My bet goes to Day of the tentacle in a bundle with Maniac Mansion, because they would want to start with something big that is not on Steam. But what price? 6$ or 10$, I'm not so sure for that ;) ...

That would be nice.

I'm scared it will be something that is on Steam, though. Since those are undoubtedly ready.

I'm not getting my hopes up, though I am watching with interest.

Actually several older games on Steam are shoddily setup to run on newer OSs and some don't have new OS support period.

Kinda glad it wasn't Microsoft Game Studio, I would have had to spend a chunk of money if it was.

Who says it isn't all of them?

Nah ...

Well they did said that they hope they will manage to sign up two more from the Big Five at the end of the summer for the autumn release. So while they probably will not say which two, we can most certainly expect that discussions are currently going on. I say 2011 is going to be another interesting year for us GOGers.

Biggest announcement ever? System shock 2.

I think this is simply them releasing games without DRM from more recent games. Simple, and I personally like that idea.

That last comic strip reminds me of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego." I realize that this is no longer an option, but now I wish the new publisher was Encore Inc...which owns the right to Broderbund games. Granted, I don't see how any of this ties into Myst.

Would be nice to see Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, Torchlight, and Fate: The Traitor Soul though.

I'm going to go and play the Carmen Sandiego theme song now.
