Space Phallus Preview
Space Phallus will have levels that are entirely different from each other.
It’s a pretty simple affair, which uses 8-bit themed graphics and sound. The premise of the game is to save the galaxy from the marauding space penises that are threatening to destroy it. This one is coming along quite quickly (is that a pun?) so should see release in the coming months. I’ll try to post some pics and maybe a video soon.
Cheers

Machinarium Preview
Amanita Design (Samorost series) is currently working on a full-scale adventure game entitled Machinarium. The new project features hand-drawn art and backgrounds, but retains the point-and-click interface that fans of the series have grown accustomed to.
Adventure Gamers had also revealed that the world is populated by robots, and players can expect to interact with a small inventory during the course of the game.
Machinarium will be released sometime in the second half of 2008.

“The view for the DS game provides a zoomed-in bottom screen and a zoomed-out view of the whole level on the top screen.”
“The game will feature all new levels designed by original creators Metanet in both its Pure (based on the original Flash game) and Plus (new graphics and enemies) versions.”
Also from Joystiq, an interview with the director of the 1GB noir adventure game Fate by Numbers.
