Unofficial Tex Murphy

it may be on the same day for everyone

Yeah, you'll probably find it's a "meet 'n' greet" type affair where they show a group of you around, BBQ lunch, and Q&A.

It is limited to 25 people. I'm not sure that many people could all coordinate the same days of travel...

some ear problems detected. can someone explain:
1) what`s the tex`s phrase right after james erl jones`s "you are dead"
2) what the piggy says
3) what`s the end phrase after credits

and maybe what are these all referencing to

Tex is baaaack!!! Donating NOW!

I guess I'll follow the example from "my voice just" and subtitle the video in Portuguese. I'll try to get it done tonight.

So, did my pledge, no rewards. 70k so far on the first day. Lets hope they make it. This is going to be the most expensive game I have bought ever , but it is going to be worth it

James is doing some great stuff with the site tonight/today he's got a meter on the side now. No more f5ing needed.

I just wanted to add that I think the kickstarter page is a bit... I don't know, maybe underwhelming?

There is very few information, and maybe it could use some humour. It's very important to create an attractive page. Also, it's a bit hard to parse throught the rewards... this guy made some interesting comments about it all:

But I’m a little concerned both about the sparsity of information on the page – little effort has gone in outside of the lovely video – and by the really dreadful reward tiers. Not only are they incredibly slapdash and difficult to parse, but they’re not exactly enticing. Like, why put a PDF of a 16 year old novel in the $150 section? How about enticing people at more sensible lower prices with things that are literally free to distribute. And I’m increasingly unimpressed with games offering “beta test the game” at the higher tiers. Beta testing is something you pay people to do.

The only points where I disagree are with regards to the beta testing (I would pay to be a beta tester) and the content of the rewards. This game will be expensive to produce (I actually think US$ 450.000 is very little money for it, but I trust these guys); offering big rewards would take away precious resources. That's one thing that I would like to praise: this looks like a very realistic kickstarter project, with no false promises and impossible dreams. Anyway, I agree that offering PDFs at higher pledges is only confusing and a bit useless (we know this content will be EVERYWHERE as soon as it is released).

This is incredible! It's only the first day and already 15% of the project is funded! We'll reach the goal in a few days if the rate keeps steady. Everytime I refresh the page, the pledge amount increases. Awesome!

Now who said again, that it's bad that Chris starts the Kickstarter campaign so late? In retrospect it was even a smart move. Imagine if this started simultaneously with Shadowrun, Wasteland, Double Fine, etc...

Excellent. I am pleasantly surprised by the response so far. Looks like they are on track to exceed their goal, and I hope they do because 450k seems a little tight. Al Lowe wanted more than that and he is just making a damn cartoon remake of his game.

Well, damn. That's a sight to come home to, now ain't it?

Alright. I must play the lottery tonight. That might determine how much I can donate.

By the way, this is a stupid question (and one that I can probably search for and find the answer, but I'll be lazy and just ask), if I donate some now and then realize I can donate more, are my donations cumulative? (i.e., if I give $500 now and $250 later am I at the $750 level?) Probably not a huge deal, but I was just curious.

Yeah you can increase your pledge incrementally.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping to add to it later.

Anyone here have any idea how the other previous games did their first day? Is this on par, or better??
I hope BFG answer my questions about the tour reward before the end of today...

Trilaan: are you excited about being a walk on in the game?
