I'm curious why you folks at Kotaku have yet to cover the Tex Murphy Kickstarter. A month ago when they announced it was going to happen you covered it, but a month later when it actually started it's been total radio silence.

They've produced so much more than most of the Kickstarter campaigns. A brilliant campaign video and one of my fellow fans at Unofficialtexmurphy.com even made two newsreel videos to help people get into the world of Tex Murphy, and yet all the while no news whatsoever on it. Yet Wasteland 2 with one video that showed nothing of what the game would or could be and a few pieces of concept art got a lot of attention.

I admit, I've got a dog in this game, the Tex Murphy series is the reason I even built my first computer (Complete with a 4 disk cd changer to reduce disk swapping), so I've got a huge amount of love for it.

Will the game get made without your help in getting the news out there? Sure, at this rate it will. However, just as with the Double Fine adventure and Wasteland, there is so much more that Aaron Connors and Chris Jones could do with more money. For starters they could hire a better class of actors for the game, ones they believe are better for the part, as opposed to just whomever they can afford. Better backgrounds so that the actors can more seamlessly fit into the 'sets'.

Some would argue that games like Wasteland 2 and Double Fine Adventure got media attention because of the money they were raking in, but really, it was with every story posted on the kickstarters that got the games the crazy funds they made. Sure, I don't expect 3 million dollars for Tex Murphy, the newness of Kickstarter has wore off somewhat, but it would be great if they could really make a splash and do a game that shows that FMV went away not because it was a terrible idea, but because people who didn't know what they were doing (IE Digital Pictures) got all the press with crap like Night Trap and ones that did it right (Tex, Wing Commander, Gabriel Knight) were sadly in the minority.

So, as a Tex fan, I beg you, please, some coverage for the Kickstarter.

If you've read this far I thank you. I am not trying to be antagonistic or complaining, this is just something near and dear to my heart I'm trying to do anything in my power to help Big Finish Games make the best damn Tex game that they can.

Thank you.

Very cautious about Kickstarter posts.

This is it. This is the problem. It's not that people don't care about Tex, it's frigging Kickstarter.Damn it.This is exactly what I feared would happen. Too many Kickstarters. So hard to tell which to fund. Some are great. Some are awful. But there's too many.

This is going to be 21 days of

With the excellent Adventure Gamers article/interview now out, maybe Kotaku and other sites could be convinced to link to that. It's less about Kickstarter, and more about the series and new game.

Nah, there's no headline. If you want to be on Kotaku it needs to be something you can condense into a provocative headline.

Tell Chris and Aaron to say something salacious like "F*** Microsoft, they're a bunch of dickfarts" next time so Kotaku and Joystiq can run the article as "Microssoft a bunch of dickfarts, says Tex Murphy creator."
