And it does…until the rug gets pulled out from under him. Getting paid to recover it may be just what Tex needs to get back on his feet. A priceless statuette has been stolen from her. When Tex is hired out of the blue by a rich dowager, it seems too good to be true. Now he’s left with no money, no prospects and no dignity…just some nicely-reupholstered office chairs and one last bottle of cheap bourbon. Then his wife ran off with the guy Tex hired to reupholster his furniture. A run of tough luck forced him to relocate to the seedy side of town. It’s December 2042 and Tex Murphy, the last of the old-style PIs, has hit rock bottom. Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon (2014 Edition)Įvil awakens. Questions? Comments? Just want to say hi?

Two of my games have been named "Adventure Game of the Year", with seven of them earning "Best Story" nominations and awards. For my day job, I've worked as a Creative Director, Story Director, Lead Designer and/or User Experience Lead on dozens of video games, from classic adventures to casual puzzle games to sports titles to The Sims 3.

We anticipate announcing a release date for the new episodes sometime this summer.įinally, I'm designing a brand-new interactive experience that tells the story of Tex's "stakeout outside a steakhouse" (serious Tex fans will know what I'm talking about).

While it's no consolation (or a decent excuse), I will say I've had a lot of distractions, including several Tex Murphy-related projects, starting with the remastered Pandora Directive video game being developed by Big Finish Games.

I do believe it will be worth the wait, but I don't yet have a date for the release. If you're one of the unfortunate souls who have been waiting patiently for the upcoming novel, Tex Murphy and the Romanov Enigma (or at least an update on how much frickin' longer you'll have to wait for it), my sincerest apologies.
