Can adventure fans work a miracle for Bill Tiller, now?

Yes! 4 days to go, I will up my pledge by another $100 tomorrow.
Duckman: Can you believe it? Five hundred bucks for a parking ticket?
Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.
I would have been surprised had Armikrog not have done it. All the signs were pointing towards a succesfull Kickstarter. Vampyre Story on the other hand is pretty much dead in the water and really needs a miracle to pull it off.

We could have if Bill Tiller had given the people what they want, and that is traditional animation style like the games that got him famous have.
Totally forgot about that Kickstarter. What a shame, goes to show you how much nostalgia plays a factor in this whole ‘Kickstarter revolution’.
This basically completes my dream lineup for future adventure games. The wait for all these KS adventures is unbearable, but it’s amazing to have so much to look forward to.
There’s almost nothing else out in the adventure genre that could get me more excited at this point. Neverhood was the last one I really wanted to see a sequel/follow up to.

I assume you’re talking specifically about paper-drawn animation for 2D characters, since A Vampyre Story remains a 2D adventure game with gorgeous hand-painted backgrounds, with 3D models being used for characters and props only. And by “games” I assume you mean “game,” since as far as I know The Curse of Monkey Island is the only title on Bill’s resume that actually boasted that kind of character animation, being a super-expensive project from the genre’s golden era specifically intended to rival an animated film in production values. And I assume that by “famous” you really mean “not famous,” because his name hasn’t proven capable of generating even a fraction of the press/financing that Schafer/Lowe/Tørnquist have.
It is my informed guess that characters are 3D because it accelerates (and consequentially curbs the cost) of the animation process and he has better access to experienced 3D animators. Frankly of AVS’s flaws I can’t say the character animation is among them. It’s expressive and quite high quality. I don’t know how much doing the character animation like CMI would have upped the budget, but considering that AVS1 undersold, Ghost Pirates maybe broke even, and this Kickstarter has raised a little over $50k, I daresay upping the budget to satisfy such a specific and baffling requirement from you (even though you speak for everyone) isn’t the most strategic move Bill can make at this juncture.
