That said, Zeboyd's game were a lot of fun as well, and we can still expect the writing to be top-notch, so I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Penny Arcade's Rain Slick Precipice 3 arrives July 10th
The third installment in the Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, currently in development by retro-RPG maker Zeboyd Games (Breath of Death VII, Cthulhu Saves the World), now has a firm date with destiny. The game will be releasing on Steam and Xbox Live Indie Games July 10 and will be priced at $4.99 (or 400 MSP). I'm very happy to know that the story Jerry Holkins started in the first game is going to see a conclusion in the same medium it started in. I appreciated the effort he put forth in writing content on the Penny Arcade website to close the series when it was determined that future installments would not be coming out of Hothead Studios, but this is what I really wanted. Well, not quite; I would have probably preferred to have Hothead finish the trilogy series for consistency's sake but, hell, take what you can get. I'd hardly call it "settling" to get another game from Zeboyd. Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 coming out on July 10th! [Zeboyd Games] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Damnit, I have too much to complete already, now I have to finish the first two of this as well. Excited for this. Love me some penny arcade. I'm with you. I would probably have preferred the last two games (there were four gods on the windowsill, remember?) be in the same style as the first two. I kind of liked the change of pace from other RPGs, and I though it fit Penny Arcade really well. Also, the character creation in that game was incredibly well done.
That said, Zeboyd's game were a lot of fun as well, and we can still expect the writing to be top-notch, so I'm definitely looking forward to this. I was under the impression there were supposed to be 4 episodes. If they cut one I suppose it would make sense, considering that just a couple of months ago there was not even going to be a third. Either way, I just bought and completed Episode 1 & 2 off of the Because We May sale so I'm stoked to check this out. Fair cop. I was fairly certain that following the second game and the announcement that no more were forthcoming, that the text Holkins wrote represents the third and final part of the story and that this game would fill a similar role. But that's assumptive on my part, so I've corrected the post. Same, I really prefer Hothead to finish up the series. The 3D models were perfect fit for Gabe's art! (and the lack of Player's Character in this one makes me a sad panda)
Oh well, at least it's finally gonna be finished. And DEEP CROOOW!! Sad to see them moving away from the style of the first two games but will be happy to get more of the Penny Arcade series. I will certainly miss my personal man with the rake, but from what I played of this at PAX East, it will still be fantastic. Funny thing is that I'm really excited for this, being more of a traditional RPG, even though I really didn't like Hothead Games version because of how that one played/looked.. Wish they'd retro up the first 2 episodes to make the set fit, I'd buy them all instantly (where I don't really care to buy the Hothead Versions at all). 1:00 AM on 06.19.2013 Charming Teslagrad also targeting Wii U this fallTeslagrad is shaping up to be another score for Wii U.
