lol... this is a hilarious way to get new backers... People keep leaving the old 150 tier and then somebody who hasnt read the update sees the opening and goes "1 spot left?! i better take it!"....
Has happened at least twice now.

That's what I've been thinking, keep checking it to see if it's there. With any luck AG may have a feature interview with Chris Jones in the works...?

Well damn (PM responses shared by one of the backers):

Uhm... now in the FAQ there's pretty much the first response, but as a "Yes, it's DRM-free". Are they trying to reinvent the term or something? I R confused

The most important part of their answer is the.. "Yes."
If they try to further twist that to mean somthing else its going to cause some trouble for them later.

I think doing fundraising news would be a great idea actually.. bi weekly updates on current fundraising and coming up fundraising projects. These fundraising projects are obviously helping out the adventure game scene and bringing it to places we thought it may never get to again. I definatley think there should be a section for such things..

It's great that they've already raised 150K, but I'm worried. So few backers, far less than the Andromeda guys and that doesn't spell any good because the Space Venture is not going to make it, unless a miracle happens. They're not even close to the 12K a day they need. Tex is already down to one thousand an hour and needs about 10K a day. So that's okay, for now. But it is sure to go down more. I don't want to be too pessimistic, after all this is just day two, but even when people thought Jane's Pinkerton wasn't doing too well, she never fell below the amount of money she needed each day.

That depends, is everyone getting the game on steam? They really should have said that in the rewards..ugh.
Sounds like they just dont know yet. If they have a steam and a non-steam version for backers then i see no problem, thats what double fine is doing.

Then again, they'll probably change their minds when they realize that they haven't reached their goal yet and that, as Fien said, they need to get far more people on board beyond the hardcore fans if they want to get there.

I hear you, Fien. People got really excited that the 100k milestone was reached so easily but that was to be expected given the fact that this campaign had been announced almost two months ago and the more devoted fans were anxiously waiting for it to go live, then donated all together. Tex Murphy is not a very relevant brand name in the games' industry anymore and if this starts crawling it will have a hard time picking up again. I hope word starts spreading like wildfire so at least the fans of the originals will hear about it and come running (the people who played Tex during his prime or discovered him through GOG later on surely are many many more than 1.400?).
Good thing they have that great pitch video on their side, I've watched it about four times already and it never gets old. Chris Jones still got it and the diner idea was a real treat too. I just wish they had put some more effort into their accompanying text below it, it feels seriously lacking and barebones. Why not mix it up with a couple of bolded topics (like Story, Gameplay, Technology, Branching Narrative, etc.) and some sexy pics of the previous games to spice things up and give people something to look at and absorb outside the video? From their various interviews and scattered info that was leaking through all these years, I gather that the main story is already in place for some time now, why just keep it vague as in "Tex's greatest story yet" and not give some particulars for people to chew on? Anyway, I went for the $100 tier but I might consider squeezing in 50 more to get that collectible shot glass (which I will probably never use) at some point. Go Tex!

We (Adventure-Treff) just posted our new guest column by Aaron Conners.
The article is called "The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of FMV" and should be very interesting for all of you Tex Murphy fans. Here is the link: http://www.adventure-treff.de/artikel/features/gastkolumne.php?id=4&lang=eng
