"Tex Murphy - Project Fedora" is now live on Kickstarter.

Yes please be careful. I have looked around at these discissions, and these types are very, lets say, "special". There are many in forums who like to hurl abuse at what they consider outsiders. And this is not only true about gaming communities. There are a lot of kids out there with strong opinions. And we are just som old guys,wanting another old guy back :wink:
By the way, I am 39 and am not feeling old at all!!

I don't have a Gamespot account but if you mean another was created since awhile ago then that might actually make it the 6th thread on GameSpot :shock: :x

So yeah I agree... definitely search incase someone already made a thread you can just bump up/support. So far noone has actually said anything against the Kickstarter or Tex Murphy, they just want it to be contained in 1 thread and for it to not come across as a hit and run which is understandable.

I've got an idea:

Why don't we wait until next Friday when Gamespot will have their "This Week on Kickstarter" article that mentions Tex, then we can hit up the message board in support?

From the Kickstarter comments section (currently page 4):

@SouLifter I talked to the Kickstarter posts' author of gamespot. He said he'll include it on next week's post.
-----
David Bywater 1 day ago
Well from what I've heard, gamespot will be doing something on Tex next week, so that will hopefully help things.

In short, don't tick Gamespot off by posting on their boards until after the door is open to truly do so. After this article, it won't matter if you've posted a billion times, or if you're starting a new account. You'll be able to show your love and support for Tex on their forums (within reason) without being seen as the bad guys.

Hey, I've found out that recently that CJ plays piano like a boss. I think it would be nice if he posted an update just playing a song and nothing else. Something pretty. I don't know if that's a bad idea or not.

I can get annoying energetic and verbose sometimes. :oops: So I do most of my talking to Courtney at BFG rather than bother the boys (you guys can, but I can't). You can use the contact form on the BFG site to do that.

Seconded.
It seems that the Beatles' ''With a little help from my friends'' is rather appropriate.

Still went slightly over the daily mark for today. I'm hoping the race to 50% tomorrow will give us a little spike, but so long as we keep the daily mark we're in the clear.

I was doing a live stream of Under a Killing Moon Day 1 last night (my night anyway ;) ), and had this strange idea...

What if they could make a quick-mini "choose your own adventure" in YouTube?
This is very similar to what Cubase did in the end of his (absolutely brilliant) video (the links to the pitch YouTube video and KS).

Your selections would be 1 out of 3 options that hint at the tone of the response, and you'll see the result in the next linked YouTube video (giving a feel for the conversation paths in the Tex games).

This can generate a small buzz as I don't think this was attempted before in a KS, and it perfectly suits the Tex genre.

Some examples are available here:

Hmmmmm I LIKE the thought.

I sent a PM through KS to CJ & AC, so it's their ball now :)

I'll continue my livestream for a few hours each day for now (until the KS runs out of time, or I run out of Tex, whichever comes first ;) ), makes me feel like I may be contributing in some small way...
Someone did that "3 options" thing at the end of their Blooper Reel for their Tex Murphy kickstarter tribute video:

sbenrap, you can use http://www.texmurphy.com now to link to the Kickstarter (just noticing your Justin/Twitch title with the longer Kickstarter url).
