Now there's a flood of games but not exactly a flood of creativity," he said. You'd sell as many games as you could make. "In the '80s you couldn't produce enough games.
The games industry is a different place from when Leisure Suit Larry first released, said Lowe. Lowe initially went to Kickstarter following a suggestion from Tim Schafer, who he met with the morning after the Broken Age Kickstarter went live. Despite reaching its funding goal of $500,000, studio Replay Games ended up spending of over $1 million in development costs. An over-saturated industry is partly to blame, he said, but Lowe also referenced a lack of funds for marketing following the game's release.Īccording to Low, the team miscalculated the development costs for the game when it first went to Kickstarter for funding. "Nobody knows there's a game out," he said. Lowe recently released the Kickstarter-funded reboot Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded to Windows PC and mobile devices last month however, he says despite its success on the crowdfunding site, the realities of the modern market are not in favor of the game.
The game is based off of the 1998 game of the same name, originally released on Windows PC. Leisure Suit Larry's Casino will be a free-to-play title available only for mobile devices, said Lowe. Long-running comedy series Leisure Suit Larry is getting a spin-off poker game for iOS later this year, the game's creator Al Lowe told Polygon.
