Unofficial Tex Murphy

HOLY MOLY! What a day(s)! Yesterday's unbelievable pickup is still spilling onto today. We've always passed the goal AND there's still more promised funds from the last 2 of the Magnificent 7 to come. Stretch goals ASAP!

Well done everyone! I think its fair to say that we've earned it after all this time in waiting.

I can't believe that after all these years Tex is officially coming back. I wish I could say I had "kept the faith," but in all honesty, I had pretty much given up years ago. Of course, I never imagined anything like Kickstarter! I'm so glad I was wrong, and can't wait to be playing a new Tex adventure next year!

Now I have to give some serious consideration to finding a place to re-host my old Tex website (Alcatraz: A Tex Murphy Site). It's quite outdated, but I wouldn't mind putting it back up and modernizing it.

The only thing that matters Matt is that you heard the call and came back when it truly mattered! I'm looking forward to re-visiting Alcatraz!

Cheers to all. I don't think we can make too many celebration threads. Cheers to Mac, for the final push. And a big hurray to James, for hosting this fabulous moment within our second home!

My birthday is June 11th.....I can't think of a more fantastic birthday present. Everyone, thank you for all you've done. I'm so proud to be a member of this incredible community.

It's already gone up about $100 in the time it's taken me to read this thread

<3 you Tex!

Now THAT is good news!! We will have a new Tex Murphy game after all those years. I still remember Aaron saying he'd write a novel for the story to finish but now we have something much better than that.

It will be great reading the updates from Big Finish till the day the Beta Testers have the game. I will be one of them

Thanks to everyone who donated!!

After a late night, I've just rolled out of bed and I'm still a little groggy and bleary-eyed, so I'm a bit at a loss for words right now. Even at another time, I think I still would be. How can I put into words what this community has accomplished?

Think about it – we've waited for 14 years for this, through every tantalizing glimmer of hope and every disappointing defeat. We've waited for a new Tex game for longer than it took to make the five that already exist! It's a testament to the quality of work that Chris and Aaron and everyone at Access/Big Finish creates that their rabid fans have never truly disappeared. We've been here, patiently waiting, and even more of us have come out of the woodwork thanks to the Kickstarter campaign.

And now we all get to finally...FINALLY!!!...find out WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO TEX AND CHELSEE??!! IT'S BEEN 14 YEARS!!!

WELL DONE EVERYONE !!!

Brilliant! Just brilliant!

I can't believe that things happened so quickly!

Now, what am I going to do with all the time I spent F5ing?

WTF!!? Yesterday evening it was 83% and now we are done?!?1+

What a wonderful thing to wake up to O_O
I'm so happy!



Without hyperbole, I can tell you, this is a joyful day.



( Let's hope a ton of pledges aren't retracted. )

I'd open a bottle of bourbon to celebrate, but it was used up last night in my calculations that this would happen today.

Anyone have an aspirin?

Not one person here (aside from maybe the bigwigs) has more of a right to be happy than you do, James. I truly believe it wouldn't have happened without you.

Deepest thanks to you, Mr.LeMosy.

Dunno if you know the series the cat picture is from but I've always liked it!

WE DID IT!



Like Jane, as well as happy relief, this is how I feel after being up so much promoting Tex to get to the goal!



Now back to F5ing on the keyboard to the stretch goals!



Then the wait until the game is out and we get to see the fax machine again because theyre the real star!



OK I'll stop now!! GIFs from World of Chi
