Jack Orlando would make an excellent addition. A great adventure game that never really took off.

Zeewolf: Silent Storm would be cool. Also, the Industry Giant games are pretty good (kind of Transport Tycoon-ish). And King of the Road... very nifty truck game. Also worth noting that JoWooD owns Dreamcatcher (& The Adventure Company).
The only think I worry about is if they are going to overprice their content. Judging by the $9.99 price on Panzer Elite, I kind of fear they will.

I think Jowood is expecting to see the results of offering their games in GOG before putting their whole catalogue in the site. The more people buy their the more incentive is for them to put more games into GOG. Anyway hopefully Jowood doesn't screw us and will sell the Silent storm gold edition for 10 dollars (base game +expansion)

You can check all JoWood's games that will appear on GOG.com here.
We have uncovered all the games, so you can see what's coming to the site very soon. Of course we'll add new publishers and new releases, but can't say anything more yet :). Have fun with these classics from JoWood Productions!

Will GOG add more Jowood games in the future like for example: Silent storm and silent storm: sentinels?

Cook did say "we'll add new publishers and new releases, but can't say anything more yet".

In the future we could look into adding more games from the JoWood catalogue but right now we need to get some good sales from the current selection. We've got a good selection for a good start :)

Oh, there's one JoWooD-game you NEED to get: Rally Trophy. It's one of the best racing sims ever. It's was created by the studio that developed Flatout later on.

I use to be a huge JoWooD fan, but once they started to not patch their games I stop buying. However, I will buy a couple from this list to keep gog looking good and getting more publishers in the future.
I hope you will have Nations at some point as well.
Also, Industry Giant II Gold (But it needs a patch to make it work with 6 series and beyond Nvidia cards), and Transport Giant Gold as well.
Thanks

Thanks for the answer! that gives me hope that someday silent storm will be added to the catalogue.

Well hopefully the sales will be good enough for Jowood to put more classics on gog.
I already bough painkiller and i intend to buy Spellforce (replace the disk version), the guild, gothic 2
Its great to see another company trying out gog hopefully this will also show other companies that are sitting on the fence about having their old games here that a big name has given gog some of their games that they will do the same.
Posted January 27, 2009
Yah I'll be buying this one - I mean gothic 2..although I think I'll buy painkiller and the guild.
man...six to 10 bucks is the sweet spot for games. GOG rocks.

I stay up, posting about the forum. And I wake up to this.
I approve.

Well, like some people that posted here i also think the Jowood is very interesting, unfortunately some of their games (at least the ones i own) are a bit buggy and i hope that GOG can fix that.

Unless they get the source code and make the games more expensive, I highly doubt they are going to be fixing other developers' games. On the other hand, maybe they can petition the developer to fix something majorly gamebreaking, like the whole Arx Fatalis deal getting a patch from Asceron.

Yes, i was meaning to say fix, not for them to actualy patch the game, but to manage some sort of deal like what they managed with Ascaron for Arx Fatalis. But if they had the change and means to to fix them, themselves ( without increasing the price) i would't opose. ;)
