James Pond creator explains why he's supporting the revival Kickstarter
Coming from a 100PercentIndie interview with Pond creator, Chris Sorrell...
“I was approached by PJ Belcher from Gameware – which owns the Pond IP and is running the Kickstarter campaign – at a fairly early stage. Initially I had major reservations, mainly due to my disappointment with how the James Pond brand frankly seemed to have been run into the ground. However, PJ is newly involved with Pond himself and did a great job of convincing me that he genuinely sees this an opportunity to get things right, make a truly brand new game and create something that properly lives up to people’s best memories of the originals. On that basis I agreed to offer my support to the campaign, and – if we’re successful – to work with Gameware to create the new game.”
