To clarify about the funding goals and three games:

* Lola & Lucy (the ebook) is not really part if this, it just happens to be a project that Pinkerton Road developed before they announced their existence. It will not be funded with Kickstarter donations, and although CSG members can opt to get it, it's not really the focus from an adventure fan's perspective (and Jane knows that).

* If the $300k goal is met, Pinkerton Road will make one of the three concepts that have been presented (Moebius, Gray Matter 2, or the Anglophile game). It also has independent funding, so $300k is not the full budget for that game.

* If $600k is raised, Pinkerton Road will make a second of the three adventure games in the running.

Obviously, the campaign has to meet at least $300k for Pinkerton Road to get any of the money, so there is no danger of donating and not getting an adventure game out of it. Right now the studio is focused on an annual CSG cycle, so the timeframe to have these finished would be by June 2013. But any of the games in the running that don't get made in this cycle could still be made later on.

Hope that clears up the confusion.

(Full disclosure: I am helping with Pinkerton Road's PR, so that's how I know these things. )
