Here's a bit from the RetroNick interview if you didn't manage to catch it (hopefully they port some of the things they mentioned in other interviews to the Kickstarter page, its juicy info that I think those less in the know would be keen to learn)

Chris Jones: Initially we're talking about being out on PC and Mac. But we've had discussions wondering when we can bring other formats in such as cellphones, Ipads. We've set a minimum goal of 450,000. We're hoping we get a little more than that. The 450 would obviously be the basic but if we can get more then I think the opportunity to do the other formats would become available. Obviously if we put the product out and it does well on the formats that we're on then that would be an opportunity. But it would be nice if we could release them all at the same time, or at least closely to the same time these other formats, the cellphones and the Ipads.

RetroNick: Very nice, so you're talking about an IOS version, Windows mobile etc.?

Chris Jones: Yes.

Two things people seem to want to see portrayed: the gameplay and the more serious side. So I was thinking to myself these two ideas.

Serena Nelson about 11 hours ago:
I've never played a single Tex Murphy game, so I'm taking a leap of faith here. While I was on the fence about this project, the pitch sold me. I'm in for $150, the main reason being that I can have all five previous games on GoG.com. Those alone are worth around $35.

redcat72 wrote:Ha! The question I didn't mean to ask, but I'm glad we got some info from it.

I wonder how the "murder mystery party hosted by Tex Murphy (Chris Jones)" actually works - is it a single party where you are invited to fly in, or does Chris actually fly out to potentially 10 different backers and put on a party?
Just idle wondering, as 10K is a little large for me, but still, a guy can dream

@Kevin: They'll invite 30 different backers. There's a party and during the party every half an hour at last one backer is going to disappear. Who manages to survive will be able to play the game. A new way of multplayer .

Xbox would be easy (due to XNA), PS3 a bit harder. An XNA title would be very feasible but I'd argue right now its outside of the scope of the project.
