Gumshoe: What would you say are some challenges that come with developing a game like “ 3 Minutes to Midnight” ? I’m really glad they decided to work on this project. It’s a pleasure to walk into the office every day.

I have to say working with this team is amazing, every single member of our Studio is a big professional and great human beings. Then I was about to give up but decided to keep going, and hired a more professional team with more experience. Then I hired a small team (without going into details, they were not big fans of the genre so the things didn’t work out). Jan: I started this project alone for a few months writing the story and defining the characters.

Gumshoe: Scarecrow Studio has a good sized team, what has it been like working with others on “3 Minutes to Midnight”? I really think that it’s something adventure gamers miss.

Jan: I really missed the old games like Monkey Island and Loom … there are many adventure games but they are not the same… so I wanted to give it a try and do something in that direction but with a more actual look.So the idea was to update the graphics and animations … but keep the humor and the style of puzzles. So what made you want to make this game ?

Gumshoe: You are working on your first game, a point and click adventure titled “3 Minutes to Midnight”. I always loved video games and mainly adventure games, so I wrote a story … created some cool characters and hired a team to bring it to life Then I had a change of heart and wanted to do something more fun… and I started investigating how I could make a video game with a little budget. Jan: I was working on engineering for like 15 years.

Gumshoe: How did you get into video games? I was able to contact the head of Scarecrow Studio, Jan Serra, for a quick interview about the game and his experiences working on it. This indie game is being developed by Scarecrow Studio, a team that is destined to make this game the best it can possibly be. Well, there’s a new adventure game called “3 Minutes to Midnight” that might scratch that itch. Have you ever played any of the Monkey Island games? Maybe you’ve missed those sorts of classic point and click adventure games, I know I have.
