Wow, it's off to an impressive start. This one is definitely going places.
32,000 from 47 backers, mostly from 3 people - 2 for 10k and one for 5k
Am I the only one that thinks this kickstarter is surprisingly lacking quite a bit of details and content?
Especially considering how long it's been in the works.

Man, you just reminded me about the boxes for the old games. They were pretty well done. Overseer even had a flashing LED built into the box!Hope the $100 option is a nice old school big box with manual and stuff, will wait until we learn more but cant wait!

By the looks of it they spent all their time producing the video, which was pretty amusing.
But I am unfamiliar with the Tex Murphy series. I have never played any of them, so I am not sure if I would pledge to this one.
Backed it for $15
I hope this starts rolling quickly,
I have a feeling that it's not taking off as the Wasteland 2 or Double Fine Kickstarters.
I would be pretty astonished if that was the case.I have a feeling that it's not taking off as the Wasteland 2 or Double Fine Kickstarters.
The video has more info than the text and they'll probably add more as time goes on.
Updated the OP.
So far going pretty nice. I doubt it will reach huge numbers, but it shouldn't have problems getting it's goal and plenty of extra left. I hope at least
It really goes to slow imho...
I really thought this one was going to fly the first few hours and then settle to a slow pace.
Reaching 1 to 1.5 mil...
I might have to adjust my expectations.

Well it's the middle of the night - looks like it started at midnight on the 15th.
I'm not sure the Jensen project is a good indicator. I took a look at their Kickstarter page earlier, the reward tiers are convoluted as fuck and apparently they didn't even know what project they were going to do at the start of it, letting people vote for 1 of 3 potential candidates? None of which was the project people wanted to see, a new Gabriel Knight game, which is now apparently happening seperately and is drawing interest away from the game they're Kickstarting. As someone who hasn't been following it, their Kickstarter campaign looks very poorly thought out and I can imagine that's depressing contributions.Double Fine and Wasteland were anomalies being the first big gaming Kickstarters everybody rallied behind.
For more realistic expectations on where this might end, the Sierra nostalgia Kickstarters might be good indicators.
The Leisure Suit Larry remake ended at 650k.
Jane Jensen's adventure(s) will probably end around 400k, maybe slightly below that.
The "new Space Quest game" has stalled a bit at the moment, but I hope they get to 600k maybe.
It's a bit depressing that they all have no shot of raising a million dollars or more, but in the end, let's keep in mind that this is the adventure genre and the whole Kickstarter phenomenon has yet to deliver games before some people lose their reservations.
Really?I
As for Tex Murphy, that video they've put together looks janky as hell
The Kickstarter was for 'funding development for a year'. The game or games that were produced by that development were the rewards for that funding.I'm not sure the Jensen project is a good indicator.

Janky in the sense that it looks like something shot for a FMV game in the 90s. Which no doubt was the intent. However I would hope the new game will not also feature FMV that looks like it was shot in the 90s.Really?
Maybe of putting for people who don't know what Tex is but if you do I think it's one of the better pitch videos.
For a game that we don't know is Gabriel Knight, they sure seem to spend a lot of time talking about Gabriel Knight on their page. Which, again, i find odd given that's not the game that's being Kickstarted there. Anyway, I digress.We don't know that. We know that there's a Mystery Game X on the cards, which *will* be given to people who pitched in at appropriate levels. It *may* be GK, and I certainly hope it is - Jane's been pursuing the rights for a long time - but that's not actually set in stone.

As for Tex Murphy, that video they've put together looks janky as hell but I've kicked in $15 anyway. I do agree the earlier Kickstarters had an advantage, I think the days of my kicking in $100+ sums as I did with Wasteland 2 and Shadowrun Returns are over unless the physical rewards really justify it.
Laura Bow is Roberta Williams, not Jane Jensen... and the implications of that would be *awesome*.I wouldn't be surprised if they handle it much more differently next season ()GK4, GM2, LB3 =P

I like the first one the best too, but they're all amazing! Maybe I'll put them in a rotation. Regardless, thank you! So awesome!I went from a different source image as the background of your current one is a bit hard to duplicate:
If you want it to be greyed out a bit like the current one, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I can also dutch it (rotate to match the rotation in yours).
Edit: And I think I prefer that first one, but here's the other hat styles:
Kickstarter is literally going to bankrupt me and I couldn't be happier!
Pledged $115
It's Tex Murphy and Chris Jones is involved. What else do you fucking need.
