#NANCY DREW GAMES HER INTERACTIVE SERIES#

However, there’s a chance you’ve never heard of the point-and-click adventure game CD-ROM series that put the player in Nancy’s shoes, or the mid-2000s made-for-mobile and Nintendo Wii installments. As of 2021, the ongoing series, authored by a collective of ghostwriters under the name Carolyn Keene, has sold over 80 million copies, in addition to spawning six films and three television shows, cementing Nancy Drew as a cultural icon. The strawberry blonde sleuth made her fiction debut in 1930, initially invented as a female counterpart to the crime-solving Hardy Boys. I hope I'm all kinds of wrong about MID though! I plan on waiting on some reviews to see if the thing actually works before I buy it.Even if you’ve never read the books or seen any of the screen adaptations, chances are you’ve heard the name Nancy Drew. Personally if I were an investor I'd be looking to cut my losses and run in the event of poor performance by MID. I don't think Her has a future unless they get rid of Penny, and unless MID is a huge success I can't see any board sticking with a CEO with her record the last 5 years, but if MID fails they might not have any money to incentivize anyone to come in and clean up the messes. I feel like we're all adults who started playing a long time ago at this point. hopefully one that can recapture the loyal fanbase that already exists and market well enough that younger people play and the base expands.

Honestly I'm heartbroken at what's happened to Her but I'm starting to feel like our best case scenario is that Her folds and sells the rights to the Nancy Drew franchise to another company.

It sounds like she pumped a ton of money that was supposed to be for MID into Codes & Clues which we all know was a massive fail and then couldn't afford to pay staff so she laid them all off (bc 'unity'), then outsourced to the cheapest available options, which obviously have fallen behind every step of the way hence the multiple pushbacks. I think it all boils down to Penny's horrible management. From what one of the former employees who's been around here said, the engine they were using was horribly out of date and did need changing. And I'm not sure what the deal with Unity was other than an excuse to lay off their in-house staff, since as others have pointed out several of those people had experience. first game I haven't preordered since I started playing) you're right. I think unless MID sells incredibly well (and given what we've seen I'm not optimistic. I hope I’m wrong, but this is my opinion. I’ve invested a lot of money in HeR, and I’d do it time and time again if it means I can play these beautiful games. This is why: I don’t know about you guys but I’ve repurchased games a handful of times, due to some discs getting damaged/lost or having online downloads expire. If they hadn’t switched CEOs and switched to Unity I truly believe we (the fans) would’ve been able to financially keep HeR afloat, and more games would’ve been released. It is truly a shame, because their fan base is so loyal and passionate about the games. The only reason they’re pulling through is due to backlash and pressure from us fans. They release very empty and cheaply made screen grabs of the game itself. After all these years they had to do the storyboard, animation, scenery, character development etc. The website is an absolute mess, the message board has been “under maintenance” for a while now, and from what they’ve shared with us it seems MID is going be a low quality game. I believe after they release MID they’re going to go out of business.
