Joe Dever and Lone Wolf get a short mention in a TODAYonline Singapore article:
He authored the international Lone Wolf gamebook series that sold over 9 million copies worldwide. Now, Mr Joe Dever is the lead game designer with local video game developer Ksatria Gameworks.
He is one of the 25 global talents the Media Development Authority (MDA) has attracted under its International Media Manpower Programme, launched in October 2006 to boost local production capability and expertise.

Has it really been almost two years?!
We just put the finishing touches on the latest Lone Wolf gamebook to be published at Project Aon, Dawn of the Dragons. Enjoy!
Let’s make sure that Wolf’s Bane comes much quicker.
For Sommerlund and the Kai!

Mongoose has some news about their publication of Lone Wolf.
Heroes and Villains will soon be upon us!
One of the foremost contributors to the artistic visions of the world of Magnamund is Peter Andrew Jones. He painted the covers for the Red Fox editions of Lone Wolf books 1-20, and his cover art appeared on several other translations including French and Italian. In the eyes of many fans, his style helped establish a cohesive and consistent look to the Lone Wolf books.
Recently, Peter has announced that he would be publishing a retrospective of his role-playing and computer game art, including his work on the covers for the Lone Wolf books, and also incorporating his work on the Fighting Fantasy and Falcon gamebook series, among others. Called Heroes and Villains, the strictly limited-edition book is scheduled to be available in April 2008. (It is currently unclear as to whether there will be a non-limited edition if there is sufficient interest.)
If you have any comments regarding his cover artwork for the Lone Wolf series, or his work for other RPG/computer game titles, Peter would like to hear from you. Peter has requested feedback/input from fans of his work, whose comments might be included as part of a “fan page” in the book.
More information can be found via Peter Andrew Jones’ website.
Time to face Lord Zhada! We’ve revised and updated our edition of Castle Death. May Ishir and Kai be with you!
We just published our latest revision of The Kingdoms of Terror. I enjoyed revisiting this first Magnakai adventure. I hope you do, too. Good luck trying to get the Silver Bow of Duadon (you’ll need it), and enjoy!
[Frédéric sent me the following update (almost a month ago I confess) regarding the Lone Wolf on the DS project.]
I thought it would be cool to give you an update on the current progress of this project. It’s still going well, even if it requires more work than expected at the beginning. Blame it mainly on Joe Dever’s rich style, which makes his book so good but also so complicated to handle via a game engine.

So here are the current working features:
Due to the complexity of some paragraphs , I’m not reaching a dead end with my current data implementation. So I’ll have to redo my homework and design a new and more flexible XML grammar. I already have the new concept based on triggers which will be much more powerful and allow many combinations of actions and events.
I also redid the whole graphical design (some screenshots included), and since a new MP3 library is about to be released on the DS, I should also be able to compose the game music a bit later.
Hope you like the new screens!
