Andy: That’s a good way of looking at it. Let’s face it, there is an abundance of stupid people out there – so plenty of research is already done for you. It doesn’t seem like any of your colleagues could be placed in that category though. It seems that you had some attractive, intelligent, and talented colleagues to work with. What was the atmosphere like behind the scenes?

Tim:    Very cool dudes.  I missed everyone when it was over.

Andy: I guess there's a long script to read with an interactive product like this, and long filming time with multiple endings and alternate scenes as well to work with them on! How long did shooting the script take?

Tim:  The whole thing happened very quickly.  Necessity is, if not the mother of invention, at least an evil auntie.  The production team needed to be dangerously organized and they were.  I wonder how they kept it all straight.

Andy: But it all seemed to have worked out in the end. The game is out there now and being perused by the public as we speak. Tell our readers why you think Mystery at Mansfield Manor is worth their hard earned/stolen/begged/borrowed cash?.

Tim:    Most folks take pride in being the first.  Being the first to hear about a new band or read a really good book shows others how clever and pop culture savvy you are. Or, as the kids say, how cool you are.  Someday the MMM format will be very popular but as it stands now, it is the first of its kind.  A fine opportunity for the cool kids.

Andy: I thought it was a great game too, and the format I’m sure will be paid homage to in future titles now that the doorway has been opened… But now that the door has closed on production of Mystery at Mansfield Manor, what's next for you? Do you have any projects coming up in the future?

Tim:  I play in a band called Chinese Food.  I am doing commercial work and I have a few indie film projects on the go as well.

Andy: Cool, if you pass me a CD of your stuff I’d be happy to review it for you (smiles). Anyway Tim, Thanks a lot for taking time to answer my questions. It's been grand.

Tim: Shanti.

Mystery at Mansfield Manor is online now, and costs $4.99. It got a respectable Four out of Five stars in my review.
