A while ago I signed on to the official Bob Ross Game Yahoo group (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/bobrossgame/). While there hasn't been much activity lately, something interesting came up recently:
FYI, AGFRAG has until Sept 30th to secure a publisher or everything is off. So there may still be a Bob Ross painting game in the works if we don't get a publisher, it just won't be made by us. Wish us luck!
Personally, I hope Joseph Hatcher doesn't manage to get a publisher, as I would rather this game be developed by a team with at least one game under their belts. With all the buzz this title generated when it was announced I know other developers would be glad to make it happen, and I know that publishers would easily back an experienced team in such a creative endeavor.
I find it odd that an email from July states that two publishers have been "aggressive in wanting to publish" the title, but it is now September and he is talking about perhaps not having a publisher by the deadline. This is the main thing that leads me to believe that the thing that is holding publishers back is the quality of the development team rather than the game's concept.
Well, it shouldn't be too much longer before we have some news either way. What are you guys hoping for in a Bob Ross game?
