- A Larry game without the work of Al Lowe?
No thanks. Sierra has done it again.

- Some of the newer Sierra point-click games were so short that I think having to type stuff in would have made em longer.
Great to see some rumors re-surfacing about a LSL game. If its hit the FP of a magazine then it must have some credit. Al Lowe is a creative genius. He should have some say in the Larry character ... I hate it when large corporations let legal disputes get in the way.

- I've played every larry game so far and can't wait for this one. Too bad Al lowe isn't working on this one also. Still gonna be a great game. Looks like he's going to college in this new game coming out.. :p

There has also been a lot of discussion on Blue's News, Sierra Gamers, Fark, and LarryLives.com, among others.
Since I've started receiving a lot of email about this topic, I thought it would be more efficient for me to explain everything I know here, instead of individual responses. So here goes.
Sierra has had a game under development for over a year, intended for a release date of late 2004. Magna Cum Laude is a working title.
I learned about the Computer Games article when I was interviewed for a "sidebar" (a small article that runs beside a larger article). Obviously, I won't share any of my comments until their issue hits the streets. Even though the CG article was written by Josh Mandel, a good friend and my co-designer on Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist, I have not read it and do not expect to read it until its publish date, which I have heard is November 11th.
As to the many emails I've received stating, "They can't do this to you" and "It's your character" etc. I'd like to say this: my contract with Sierra was for "work for hire" and all rights to the characters and stories I created remained the property of Sierra. They have the right to do with those characters as they wish.
As of today, October 20, 2003, I have had nothing to do with the game, but, as always, I would still enjoy working on any Larry game, if Sierra feels I have something to contribute.
