The Rumor Mill
Posted: April 02, 2009 • 8:12 pm
Hello, Friends of Tex!
I heard about all the scuttlebutt going around and thought that I should pop in and add my two cents.
As most of you know, we've dealt with a lot of disappointment over the years - Chris and I personally, but also you loyal fans. We've always said that it was our most heartfelt desire to bring Tex back for at least one last hurrah. Rest assured that we still feel the same.
Three Cards to Midnight started out as a possible means to that end. We thought that we might have some success by creating a game with a broader appeal and, hopefully, generate some revenue that we could eventually leverage into a budget for a new Tex game.
What's happened is that we've really grown attached to 3CM. We have every intention of continuing the series and I think most of you will enjoy the ride. However, we haven't lost sight of Tex in the least.
There are some things in the works that might help us bring Tex back. There's nothing official, but we will certainly make a big announcement when and if we make a deal.
One issue that we want to put to bed is the questions of the rights. I can't go into detail, but it's no longer a concern and there's no reason to do anything with the purpose of "convincing" Microsoft, IndieBuilt, 2K or anyone else to "free Tex"
This may not be the news you were hoping for but, trust me, we're headed in the right direction and I no longer think Tex's return is an "if", but a "when".
Thanks to you all for keeping the faith!
Aaron
