New Leisure Suit Larry Games with Al Lowe?!

[Johro]

It's picked up enough that I think it'll make it....barely.

Al Lowe and the team are on REDDIT right now answering questions.

I've just got round to watching the last two video updates (with Paul Trowe & Josh Mandel) both of which (though more credit has to go to Paul's video) are making me a lot more optimistic about this project and a lot more willing to give them more of my not so hard earned cash.

Why can't the friends over at Telltale, like Replay calls 'us' build the next Leisure suit larry game instead of the people of Replay games. Wouldn't it be very cool to have a LSL game similar to Tales of MI? In 3D! Of course Telltale needs the input from Al Lowe, Paul and Josh but wouldn't it be great if they would all work together?

It would. But there would be the chance we get a LSL like Jurrasic Dildo and I am not going to take that risk.

They added a new $150 tier for that much you get

1) physical game and game box
2) CD of the soundtrack
3) Lefty's breath spray,
4) Lefty's sexy lady "reveal" pen.
5) Lefty's shot glass
6) 4 Lefty's coasters,
7) softcover version of the Art of Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
8) Leisure Suit Larry Brand Condom
9) Lefty’s Bar t-shirt

and they revealed what the t-shirt will look like... I think its a lot cooler then the Doublefine shirt...

That new tier is pretty damn awesome. It really makes me want to up my pledge from $40 to $150, but that's a lot of money, so I'll have to think about it. I hope this is what it'll take to zoom past that half a million dollar barrier, even though it'll be a long shot away from matching the successes of DFA and Wasteland 2.

[Irishmile]

Yeah I think it's a pretty good deal.. You get to help out and you get a bunch of cool stuff that would probably cost more then that in a merch store if they had one.

[Macfly77]

After much soul searching (yeah, right!), I upped my pledge from $100 to $150.
It is indeed an awesome new tier (and the shirt looks fantastic, too)!

[Irishmile]

I do wonder IF they will make the "re-opened 2012" a reality.. If they get the money can they make the game in under 7 months?

[Johro]

Now, they're only $75K short so there's a pretty good chance it's happening unless they drop a disastrous idea on us. Can they do it? Sure. Can they do it with all the new changes they mentioned they "want" to do? That's a bit of a clock cruncher.

I made a friendly suggestion on their boards..... This is what I said over there.

Ok first off.. I do not intend to disrespect the artists at all... I actually really love the art direction so far... BUT if you guys get a little extra to spend on the character art.. this is my suggestion.. Evolve the character even more away from LSL7.. I love that game too but there is no reason Larry needs to be so flat nowadays.. Here is a version I whipped up in photoshop.. aimed for a version of Larry that falls somewhere between the way he looks on the box covers of the fifth and seventh game.. His suit is pretty much exactly the same as what you had before just not as flat.. same with his medallion... The backgrounds are amazing I do not think they need changing at all.. but Larry does seem a little out of place in them..

Once again no disrespect meant.. and I know you guys can do better than what I just did... I just figured it would be easier to show what I meant instead of explaining it.

That's a huge improvement. Fantastic work, Sir.

Yeah, that actually looks awesome, man.

Though it's not as nice looking as what 2PlayerProductions filmed at DoubleFine, it's just as much fun listening to Al

[Irishmile]

Yeah.. I just wanna highfive AL.... he seems so humble..

[Jennifer]

I so much wish I had $100 to give to this like I did Double Fine Adventure. They are sooo close now. I hope they make it.

The new big idea going on in the backer comments is for everyone to raise their pledge to end in .69. Everyone's sixty nining for Larry!
