n February 2012, Linden Labs announced the acquisition of the experimental game studio, Little Text People, a venture between Artificial Intelligence specialist Richard Evans and Interactive Fiction author Emily Short. The day after the purchase, Linden Labs CEO Rod Humble commented on the New World Notes blog, indicating the company was developing new products separate from Second LifeÂŽ. Rumours had been circulating the previous year that Linden Labs was interested in developing text adventures, although a tweet by Humble in September 2011 had appeared to deny this.
