Two amazing things happened in May of this year.
1) I got to travel to the beautiful San Juan Islands, just off the coast of Washington State.
2) I interviewed two of the most influential and reclusive game developers in history, Ken and Roberta Williams.
Their company, Sierra On-Line, made the adventure game genre one of the most popular in video games, and at their peak they were responsible for more than half of all games sold in the market.
Then Sierra went away. And we wanted to tell the full story.
Together, with my co-executive producers Will Perkins and Cade Peterson, we created a crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit to raise the production budget for a feature documentary about Sierra On-Line, and we were able to harness the energy and excitement of legions of Sierra fans to power us past our initial goal in record time.
We’re excited to bring you the complete and in-depth story of Sierra On-Line like it’s never been told before!
