I would have been much more enthusiastic about Broken Sword 4 if it had been point and click. I would have liked it to be 2D as well, but 3D is fine but as far as adventures go I really prefer them as point and click.

It is nearly impossible to make good action adventure games. They usually just become too much. I think the best kind is Zelda and Beyond Good and Evil. But I do not really find them to be true adventure games. That comes from the old text adventure games, which Sierra helped become point n click adventure games, and Revolution and Lucasarts were the ones to make point and click adventures without the need to type any words, popular.

But then every adventure game tried to go 3D. I am not sure why. Simon the Sorcerer 3D, Monkey 4, Broken Sword 3 and 4. They just did not feel the same way. Having to walk around and control the character like that, just makes the adventure feel slow paced.

So it is nice to see the return of real point and click adventure games again, en mass even. And the concept of making them as indie games seems fine by me. Today it should be very possible to make good adventure games at that price, since most of it, as they say, is writing the script and the story. As long as the engine is good, it should not take that long to make it. Take Telltale games as an example. I doubt any of their games have cost them millions to make. And they are still quite good.

And making new indie games available on smart phones is a must. Please release Broken Sword on Android as well :) Make sure to make it known which phones can run the game, and you should be fine. I do not think people expect such things to be able to run on all the Android smart phones. Windows 7 phones seems like a market with potential as well.
