More information.

Thanks Matt & Becky - Great News!

Great interview. I'm excited Becky is including the automap in all three BTs. I'm also interested to see how her kickstarter pitch goes.

Yes, amazing news. Can't wait for this Becky. Hope your kickstarter goes well too, I will certainly pledge.

Yeah this is a dream come true for me... Enough that BT IV is finally coming out, but this is just awesome.

Auto-map feature being reverse engineered into the first two games is very nice indeed!
I'm sure it'll help make the game just that little more approachable to new dungeon crawling fans.

It's also amazing to hear that Becky's negotiating with Kurt Heiden for updated versions of the Bard tunes. Sounds extremely promising. I certainly can't wait to hear the results with that.

Great interview, thanks for posting HiddenX! This really is turning into the month of the Bard.

Automapping is actually big deal, and it would be a significant step in getting me to try these games again.
