Unofficial Tex Murphy

Hello, I just donated to project Fedora. I am freaking out that there is only 18 days left to raise over $155,000 to make the goal of $450,000. I wonder if there is a "Plan B"? I was thinking Chris and Aaron could make a Tex Hidden Object game to help raise funds if the Kickstarter is a failure. This would not be my first choice but would keep us held over until more funds are available. What do you all think?

i think you`ve just created a very important thread - at last we can discuss our concerns!

Welcome cdavidc! And thanks for your pledge. You can ignore my voice just. He likes to be that way.
Anyhow. I think we are well on track and meeting our goals. Aaron said in the Adventure Gamer interview that he would "fall on his sword" before they ever made a casual Tex game. So, this KS campaign is all or nothing. But they have had a great day today, and we are well on track for being successful. Just have to keep getting the word out there and bringing in the old fans, and making sure we get a bunch of new ones as well.

I tried ignoring the Russians once before. It turned out to be a terrible idea!

We are well past Plan B at this point. Plan B was about 10 years ago.

You're worried we won't make it? Good! A New Yorker once taught us it's fear that gives men wings So be afraid, and spread the word!

Thanks for donating cdavidc! I don't know you but love you.

As for the worry, I've been nervous this whole time. I really really hope Aaron Conners at least writes a Tex book if the Kickstarter doesn't make it. We've waited too long.

I really really hope it... I... AAAAAAaaaaaagggg

you can ignore what redcat72 said, cdavidc
as Frank wisely noticed, white russians don`t like to be ignored
don`t ignore me, or i`ll send you a PM with anthrax in it

my voice just is funny once you get used to his... style.

don`t ignore me, or i`ll send you a PM with anthrax in it

Can I adopt you?

sure you can... but you need to pledge first

It's in the mail! I swear!

In other news, hello 295k!

no, no - i mean, you should make your pledge to the tex murphy kickstarter capmaign!
i need to be sure that you love tex and hairy male cats

In that order?

I always had a soft spot for terrorist male cats. The last one I had used to enter other homes, beat up whatever lived there and eat their food. Of course, I was 5 years old back then. Left a lasting impression.

So how much are we talking about here?

i think 200k will do... but you can pledge it in the last week

speaking of terrorists... i had one too:

red-haired bastard i called him

he was so egocentric! he dared to poke around in my anthrax mail... this photo was taken shortly after

I think the odds of this failing are about 1-2% right now. Which is too high for me, but I wouldn't exactly be freaking out. We're over the hump. No project this size has ever met this pace and then failed. Not that we should get complacent.

There is no Plan B. Although at one point they had planned on making a smaller Tex, they've said that if this doesn't make it, Tex is dead. Forever. This is our final battle, it's now or never. And we WILL make it.

Another thing I've been slightly worried about is that this game gets funded, but then not enough people buy it to recoup the $300k that Big Finish are putting in. Then what? Kickstart the next game in the series? Give up on it forever?

I guess that concern is still far off though; better to focus on the current kickstarter.
