The Path: Becoming a Video Game?

Remember an older Friday Fhtagn, where I nearly fell over myself saying how amazingly awesome James Riot’s Arthurian/ Lovecraftian comic “The Path” was?

In case you haven’t read that article, I’ve just linked to it above and here are the links for you to go… go now and read them.

Well, I’ve been catching up on some of my webcomics lately, and reading some of the news from the Long Beach Comic Con where I fell upon this: The Mediocre Militia.  It’s a place where some more excellent webcomics are linked to, and there’s a blog too.  That’s where I found this:

So, what’s in store for The Path? I whole freaking LOT.

“Strange Tales of The Path” collected edition, compiling “The Path” stories done by other creators! Featuring a story by MM’s own Barry Linck!

Mobile-only downloadable stories are coming for your smart-phone/iPhone/Blackberry/whatever. I’m working on the 1st one as I type.

The Path: The Video Game is in development, coming 2010! Seriously. With the ability to be ported to web, iPhone/iPod, and XBox 360!

Contactually-obligated updates! The Path won’t ever have a hiatus ever again! God help us all…

In development is a video game for The Path.  This webcomic has become my favorite story based webcomic.  I cannot say enough good things about this webcomic.

Can I hope and dream that it will really come to fruition in 2010?  I don’t want to get all fanboy about this, but a video game about The Path could be immensely cool (for iPhone/ Xbox 360/ Web!).  If the author, artist and creator of The Path puts his talents for story, character and stylized action to a game, I think I can honestly say that’s a game that I’d be only too happy to purchase.

Suddenly 2010 seems too far away.

I’ll keep an eye on this game as it develops and if anyone who’s working on this project wants to talk to me about it, I’d be thrilled to.
