Unofficial Tex Murphy

well looks like we need $115,913.00

$540,000 gives us the 20%

Yep. Story expansion x2 plus orchestra; that will be amazing if we get there.

The final week rush may just do it. Although I was disappointed to hear Chris say "port for the Android Tablet." Since they're already doing a Mac version, I wouldn't think an iOS version would be too much of a stretch.

They may not want to promise what they can't guarantee (Apple is NOTORIOUS for saying NO). Ask over on the AMA!

I assume your game pic will be the Teacup pic, by the way? How will we know it's you otherwise?

Yup I asked them during the June 1st UTM Chat about the stretch goal and they had said 585,000. Chris Jones: "when you look at how much the other Kickstarter projects exceeded their goals, we'd need something similar - like +30%."

I was optomistic they'd reach their goal eventually back then and was more concerned about the stretch goals but that was before the phenomenol Magnificent 7 boost and being 104% over the goal already, wow!

So what is everyones most wanted stretch goals? For me its all the additional story and gameplay. The more businesses and characters on Chandler Avenue. Recognisable actors. Live orchestra!!

The dark and dangerous area of Chandler Avenue section sounds interesting. I wonder if this is them trying to appeal to a new generation with some kind of fight sequences or action-based side quest?

I like some golf games but hopefully it is optional (sounds like it will be). Do you think it will have more of Tex's funny monologues and some themeing? That'd make it pretty epic even to someone not big into golf.

But since it's all Apple and they've already confirmed a version for Mac, wouldn't an App Store version go without saying? As for my pic, I will use a photo of me, rather than Noel Gallagher, just not sure what yet. I probably won't think about it until they ask. But rest assured, I will be in there with some witty, sardonic comment from Tex playing over the top of it.

I agree with eva, try asking on the Reddit QandA. I remember in the retroNick interview Chris was asked about mobile phone / iOS etc. and they said "yeah" if they exceed the goal. So I was kinda surprised too they specified Android only.

I'm really hoping this thing gets pushed to $585,000. I don't want to have to be left without any of those extras. Our daily minimum with 8 days, 3 hours to go is $14,186. Let's get lots of $10,000 days in plus a surge right at the end. We can do it!

But...but...Mommy, can we rest for one night? Pretty please?

It's the Hat Brigade, my man!

I've just noticed that Big Finish have now started their Pay-Pal based campaign too. Do contributions to this fund get added to the Kickstarer fund or does it just run independently alongside it and not impact the percentage we see on the Kickstarter site?

its seperate once you meet kick starter target but we don't want people to remove pledges & then pay by paypal otherwise we would loose everything. Mainly for people who haven't pledged as yet & European countries that cannot pay through amazon.

Ugh so badly want the 30% stuff.. the idea of Tex playing golf... my god that would be hilarious.

Also the possibility of a much larger chandler would be epic, Pandoras and UAKMs wasn't big enough- so having more places to explore would be excellent.

But getting the publicity for this extra stuff will be difficult. Would help if Gamespot or IGN would run another article on the extras.
