Illuminating Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3
The story behind the third episode of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is almost as long as its title. Following disappointing sales of Episode 2, Penny Arcade kicked off its first PAX East conference by informing Joystiq that the series had been discontinued altogether. At the time, Penny Arcade stated that developer Hothead Games left the project in order to focus on developing DeathSpank, as working on both projects would have impacted the quality of Episode 3. Hothead would later claim that Penny Arcade wordsmith Jerry “Tycho” Holkins had trouble keeping up with the development cycle.
Now, two years later, Episode 3 is not only back in development, but is being taken in an entirely new direction by indie developer Zeboyd Games, creators of cheeky role-playing throwbacks Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII. Along with a new developer, the game has also received a slightly shorter title: Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3. It’s slated to launch this summer on PC, Mac, Xbox Live Indie Games, iOS and Android. The price hasn’t been announced, though I’ve been told it should be in line with Zeboyd’s previous games or, in other words, cheap. Eager fans will get a chance to see a first look at PAX East in Boston later this week.
The project began, Zeboyd’s Robert Boyd told Joystiq exclusively, in a single forum thread on Penny Arcade’s website.
