Kickstarter Rewards?

Yeah there wasn't a lot of background extras in Tex Murphy games so it would have to be a limited number realistically and depend on the scenes. Most of the locations were post-apocalyptic desolate landscapes, mysterious ruins, "mutant" districts where not many seemed to tread, or closed quarters such as empty rooms. Even when Tex had an office in the city for awhile I don't remember there being busy street level shots with lots of people, just other speeders I think. They probably saved themselves alot of money on extras thinking about it! But there were some people occassionally such as those hanging out at the Flamingo nightclub etc.

Ya, I'm thinking bars and restaurants.
Not sure if I suggested this yet or not but one thing I'd absolutely love to get my hands on is the UAKM, Pandora and Overseer FMV + Audio Masters in digital form. This would definitely be something I'd pay extra for.

Well the thing is if we had these, Tex could go on forever. We could edit and change them however we wanted. Making Fan Fiction and Fan Games ever more authentic.

But I'm also thinking of the possibility of remakes.
This incentives issue is the hardest question to answer... I really need no reward. I want a new Tex game so SO soooooo bad. I can't even imagine what anyone would want as an incentive.

Despite that, it is true that incentives could help. I can't afford $1000 easily, but I actually would do it if the incentive was worth it. After I damage my finances with donation, maybe Chris Jones can give me some financial advice?

More conventional things are obviously good. Mugs, shot glasses, figurines, etc. sound pretty cool. It would be nice to have something Texy to put on my shelf. And I'd definitely want a physical copy of the game. I don't want to be an extra in the game, because I don't like how I look :oops:

Whooooaaaa... I want. I want so much.
Here is the list that I sent to Big Finish Games :



Here some suggestions for incentives you could propose during the Kickstarter campaign for Project Fedora. Of course the maximum quantities and prices are just suggested and depend on what you can do. I tried to think of things which wouldn't be too intrusive on production nor compromise artistic integrity. I really think you should propose a lot of signed posters and not limit them to just a few numbers - they're always the best sellers, they make people happy and will only cost you a tiny wrist sprain.

I hope my suggestions will help you, I've been a fan of Tex since the very first game so I'm really looking forward to seeing the results of the campaign.

100$ Collector edition of the game + Noir-style Tex poster.

150$ Previous award + Have a chance to be on the front of one of the random postcard puzzle games (Tex can flip the pieces to solve the puzzle with the text or the picture).

EDIT : About the postcard puzzle with a random picture of the backers : Each backers will receive a code that he could use in the configuration menu to display HIS picture during the game and not a random one. The non-backers will have to let the game randomly decide which picture will be used from his database with all backers pictures.
