Hey, I found this interview with one of the core designers.
It’s quite an interesting read. 🙂

There’s a part 2 and part 3 of the interview as well, which talks about the sequel, and LBA3 which is hopefully still in the works. Links are at the bottom of each page.

LBA 3 has been kicked around as an idea from way back and it resurfaces every now and then. I can’t recall how these were made public, but there was a working title for the project which went something along the lines of “The Stellar Entity Genesis” and even a story layout which included Twinsen and Zoe’s teenage son as one of the main characters.

I’m unsure when the interview above took place, but I’d imagine it’s been some years. I can’t see it happening any time soon. The current IP holders, 2.21, have stated that they are working on a remake/re-imagining of the original title, a move which I welcome to be honest.

I saw that 2.21 released engine source from the original games last year. it might be of interest to the coders among us:
