Ken & Roberta Williams on OddManor.com - Chris Williams Game

[Tawmis]

I basically copy and pasted the email that folks from SierraGamers.com got -

Chris Williams, son of Ken & Roberta, on Odd Manor Game.

For those that may not know.

Think I'll apply to beta-test. Should be fun

Got this from Ken Williams:

Hey! That’s cool!

Did you do that? It is much appreciated.

I’m a project to get my blog out, but will spend more time with the site this afternoon.

I’ll mention your site to Al Lowe, although I suspect already has seen it!

Thank you again,

-Ken W

Dear Friends,

Some time back I mentioned to you that Roberta and I are involved with our first game project since leaving Sierra. Our son, Chris, is the lead engineer on the project and Roberta has lent some of her design wisdom to the creative team at KingX Studios. We are pleased to announce that the game is now live and available for free on Facebook and Wild Tangent. I invite you to take a little time out of your day to play Odd Manor. We appreciate your support of this endeavor.

Sincerely,

Ken

That's really cool! It's too bad you have to be logged into Facebook to play it. I don't really like Facebook.

Well it's just like FARMVILLE or whatever... Except you control a gnome.

What does Linux have to do with it?

[Collector]

I just GNU you would ask that.

I was interested too-- but refuse to play facebook games.

Same here. It's not just games, either. I won't install any FB apps. Too many potential security issues.

Besides, if it's basically a Farmville knockoff, I doubt I'd like it anyway.

From what I understand of Farmville and what I have played of OddManor, it's a lot like the same idea.

Although having never played Farmville, I have no idea what to really do in OddManor.

Exactly. I just don't trust how much info Facebook tracks or the security any of the apps. Plus, I have more than enough other games to keep me happy.
