Fan Made Loom Sequel, Forge: Chapter One, Is Out 16 Jan, 2014 / 7 comments

Fans of Loom have been waiting for the sequel to Loom for decades. Luckily, some creative Loom fans have decided to stop waiting for an official sequel and have created one of their own.

The game is called Forge, and uses bits of information that have been revealed by Loom's creator, Brian Moriarty, over the years. The game follows the blacksmith Rusty Nailbender, and uses a new magical item to conduct spells, the Blacksmith Guantlets, rather than the weaver's distaff. It uses a graphical style similar to the 256 colour art of the Loom PC CD and FM-Towns versions, and is created using the Adventure Game Studio engine.

If that sounds like something that's of interest to you, then you can pick it up for free over at the Forge homepage.

    If It doesn't say Star Wars on it, Disney isn't aware it exists.



    How about this?

    ... Han Solo Adventures ...



    Wow thanks for the info and link, I've always wondered what happened to this site. I had no idea that Stacy Davidson was behind this although I'm a backer of his current project!

    Loom might not be on Disney's radar (let's hope not).

    On the other hand, Stacy Davidson probably did the right thing when he decided to switch to stealth mode for Han Solo Adventures, since a Star Wars fan game would almost certainly get a cease and desist from the mouse house (that demo is still available here, by the way, if anyone is interested and hasn't played it yet).

    Let's see if Disney is as quick with the cease and desist as Lucas was.



    Better download it quickly then!

    I guess I won't have time to actually play it any time soon, but still this is great news!
    I just hope there won't be any copyright issues with Lucas / Disney...
