Here's a bit of news guaranteed to get Douglas Adams-loving Earthlings into a tizzy. This morning, developer Hothead Games and "publisher" Megadodo Publications announced that a new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy project is on the way.
Happy Towel Day, everyone!The press release and newly launchedwebsite both fail to mention any details beyond the fact that a Hitchhiker's Guidesomething is in the works, but with Hothead on board, it seems safe to assume it's a game of some fashion. Possibly a funny one.
The last time the Hitchhiker's Guide graced the gaming world was in Infocom's fantastictext-based computer game, which Adams himself had a hand in designing alongside studio master Steve Meretzky. I don't want to put any undue pressure on the folks at Hothead, but just about everything in this franchise is kind of a beloved classic. Again, no pressure at all. Just tossing that one out there.
So, is everyone readying their towels accordingly?
