Sadly that project actually looked really good.

Moved some dates, plenty that were going to be released 2024, but seemingly not making it or even can't give a date of december (which is a pretty empty month).

It was already in the making, he just needed extra funds.

But without a steam page i can't add it.

I appreciate people helping but i personally can't do much about it in this thread.

1) Asylum is not reallly fitting the retro point and click style.
2) That Randal's Tuesday has no year mentioned like 2025/2026, coming soon can mean anything.
3) I can't add anything based on an interview or kickstarter (and i already made a seperate thread for vampyre story (but noone reacted). https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/4ixtj/a-vampyre-story-sequel-coming-a-vampyre-story-a-bats-tale
4) Itchi.io is full of indie made adventure games that could fit the bill but that would be too much, so i am kinda restricting it to steam only and i need to have links to actual store pages of such games.

That Monkey Island game however does sure look nice.

1) Asylum is already on the list but without the date. also there are others that aren't really point & click like:
15 Nov https://store.steampowered.com/app/2614580/Inspector_Waffles_Early_Days/
17 Nov https://store.steampowered.com/app/2318070/Little_Big_Adventure__Twinsens_Quest/
and LBA remake isn't retro either.

2) Not to be added to the list but i think it's worth mentioning.

3) i searched for A Bat's Tale because i didn´t see a thread and saw it had no replies. And in this thread once in a while someone comments. Maybe instead of creating another thread for news it could be added here as a comment and for a few days change the title and add it at the start of this thread (There aren't big P&C news that often after all)

4) Like Daedalic's Randal's Monday sequel i think it deserves a mention even if only in the comment.

That Monkey Island game however does sure look nice.

I don't know why Asylum got in the list, sometimes i just take over suggestions from other people (that do feel like it fits) but it's removed.
And a quick look at the list i don't see many other games that wouldn't fit the bill, like which ones? Adventure games always been suggestive, i mean in the era of HOG games they were also called adventure games, while i never viewed them as such.

Inspect Waffles for sure has a retro look, it's based on the other point and click adventure game, and it even has a point&click tag (which aren't always correct but i give it the benefit of the doubt).
Little Big adventure, while not point and click, it's a remake where part of the story is totally butchered, i still consider it to fit in the category as it's based on a classic adventure game, i mean Broken Sword Reforged is technically also new, but in a way not.
I have to eventually make decisions what to add and what not and some might not agree with some choices, there has to be some liberty.

Point and click adventure game news come and go, often the genre been dead for many times for months/years but i don't think the last 3 years been that bad (just check the lists) and the last year, every month there has been some good new releases, and normally at the end of the year around fall/christmas you could also expect some good ones except this year for some reason, and there are very little dates set for january/march even, so yeah momentarily it seems we are in a dry spell again.

Everyone here is welcome to make comments, to give out suggestions and ideas as you said, although maybe for stuff like on itch.io and other places maybe a seperate thread would be handier as these comments might get snowed under, only people reading the last pages, the last comments, that might see them. Like i am sure some people would be very interested in that Monkey Island game.
But personally for me i am going to restrict myself only to new games on steam (because those already existed <2022 would also be a chore and there are already curator groups for that), with a steam store page.
