Michel Gagne is an incredible mind, and the creature designs in this look amazing. Every frame of animation is going to be drawn by hand, frame-by-frame, and the fluidity of the animation shows how amazing this approach can look. I really think you should back this.

Oh, that's the one from the "Flight" comic books. I remember that one.

Hey, Shadowgate made it's goal.

I was a bit concerned about this one, since although I'd love to see it remade (the "Shadowgate Classic" re-releases really showed their age), Zojoi didn't have much success on the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective kickstarter.

I guess they learned from that one, since I've seen the Shadowgate kickstarter featured on adventure game websites (and even some mainstream ones). Although, it could be that it's a game with a much wider appeal.

It looks interesting, but I won't back this one. Haven't played any of the titles they made... and as a PayPal-only backer, I am pretty appalled by the "early bird" backer bonus. I am, however, rather willing to leave my money at gog.com once this one surfaces for real.

So in a week or so this will become a Kickstarter project.

Oh, and that sequel to Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is up now. SO tempted by the $100 bracket.

I read through that page and it looked incredibly suspicious.

Could I ask why?

It was kinda a general feeling I got that was probably based on some minor observations that I made while reading the page. For one, a grand is a really small amount for someone to be raising when they apparently want to hire another person. And one of the stretch goals went down? How on earth does that work? There were also some very weird grammatical errors. I dunno. I got the same vibe that I did with that other fake game on indiegogo. I could probably pin down exactly what made me feel this way if I looked at that page again.

English is not my native, could you explain this one?

*Darth Marsden* · 12/13/2012, 03:30 am

I believe it means that one of the stretch goals was removed.

fshock · 12/13/2012, 08:39 am

@Alcoremortis, I should say, that went down should be replaced with adjusted

*Darth Marsden* · 12/13/2012, 08:57 am

Ah. That's my bad - 'Went down' can have two meanings, and I got the wrong one. I think he meant 'adjusted'.

Everyone should contribute something to this unique, beautiful work of animation.

I meant that we have the ultimate goal of $1000 and then one of the stretch goals was for $500. It decreased, went down, was diminished, is less than. It doesn't make sense.

*sigh* Oh, how I wish that this kickstarter had been a success. The most expensive reward tier involves perhaps the biggest discouragement for people to pledge the highest amount that I have ever seen!

If I was rich id call his bluff.

*Jennifer* · 01/26/2013, 12:47 pm

There's now a new kickstarter up for Inherit the Earth 2. I hope this one makes it, as I enjoyed what I've played of the first one. I only got about 3/4 of the way through it, and it's on my to-finish list. This seems like the perfect time to do so.

By the way, the first one is only $1.99 on iTunes now, and I highly recommend it (especially at that price). You don't even need an iOS device, just download it through iTunes and rename the ipa file to zip (in the apps section of your itunes download directory). Then you can just unzip it and point ScummVM to that location, and run it on any platform supported by ScummVM.

For those who don't know, Ken Allen, composer of many early Sierra games such as Colonel's Bequest, King's Quest I, King's Quest V, Space Quest IV, Space Quest I VGA, and also some games outside of Sierra like Descent has started a KickStarter project called Under the Half Dome for a music album based on, inspired by, and re-imagining his old works.

The project has already hit its goal in under 48 hours and there will be an announcement soon of some interesting stretch goals. Backer rewards include the album in physical and digital format, access to backer-exclusive blog of the production of the album, t-shirt, blow-up poster of the album artwork (made by ex-Sierra artist Rich Powell), and even big things like a MIDI keyboard controller (same one Ken is using to record the album), a chance for you the backer to perform on one of the tracks on the album, write some liner notes, as well as Ken composing a song specifically for you of your direction in the higher tiers. And more!

Fund him!
