Wonderful answers, everyone! You've really helped me.

What do you think will help drive the genre forward? Make it more mainsteam? Maybe have an AAA adventure game?

Hi everyone!

I will be delivering a lecture on the subject of "the adventure game renaissance" at an upcoming sci-fi convention in Israel. In my lecture, I will discuss the resurgence of the genre since the mid-90s and early 2000s, when it was annonced as "dead". I'm interested in getting a sense of how hardcore fans perceive the most meaningful and interesting events and milestones during the period 2000-2023, with a focus on the last three years. So, what do you think were the most exciting events in adventure games in this time period?

I would also appreciate referrals for good resources on the topic (articles, videos, etc.). I'm having a hard time finding articles about the genre itself in recent years - especially hard data like number of sales/users of games in our beloved genre.

Thanks in advance,
Rinat
