Unofficial Tex Murphy

Not sure if you guys have seen this on youtube. Thought id post it here just in case.

Not a lot of new info but it's a nice interview.

yes it was.

Not a lot of new info? I beg to differ. There are some things I've not heard before, and the things I did know feel so different coming from the horse's mouth. Not that Chris is a horse.

The interviewer is pretty good at this and I really appreciate the effort they made to edit other images and video over the interview. It's very well done.

And he made Chris laugh more than once. Awwww

It's probably one of the best interviews I've ever seen of him. He just looks like he's enjoying himself, and the whole Tex Mutant part is so endearing.

Watched it earlier. It IS a pretty good and natural interview.

I enjoyed it!

But seriously folks, Chris....Aaron, can I interest you in a nice hi quality web cam? Truly, the prices have gone WAY down.

Now that I think of it, I'm especially happy with how Chris talked about Tex's amateur film past (I guess Tex has existed since his high school days? ) and starting Access with Bruce Carver.
I had wanted to ask him about Bruce Carver during the chat but my question wasn't selected and I just couldn't bring him up. -_-

Really, this video confirms again what I talked about in my Textamonial video, and what I suspected all along-- there's a perceptible personal dedication to this character and you can see how much love went into the Tex series. It's what made Tex great and why this Kickstarter so richly deserves funding. It's corny, I know.

Skype could barely handle the stream as it was! Microsoft does own Skype after all...

Chris is really such an awesome guy. I also love how open he is about the inner workings of the company. He's so knowledgeable about the industry. Great stuff. Thanks to who ever did the interview and arranged this. And especially thanks to Chris for being so enthusiastic about reaching out to the fans.

Its refreshing to see a developer so open about problems with a company/product, this is really important for aspiring developers to learn because unfortunately the bigger AAAs just lock themselves up and don't tell anyone if there's a problem (or worse, try to indoctrinate people to pretend like there isn't a problem).

Thanks for posting this link, Talon. Great video to see

That was a really good interview. It has only made me even more excited for the game

And Lack78 has over 12,000 followers. Some in the comments have already gone to contribute

So funny to hear the interviewer mention the fans saying "this is the Kingdom of te Crystal Skull" of computer games.

The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie was SO similar to Pandora Directive in so many ways that I was surprised that more was not made of this.

Except that Pandora Directive is the best example of its artform and Crystal Skull is a disaster.

I think they blew their budget on a new fax machine.
Also, it appeared to be on a laptop, as the screen wobbled a bit at times. I know my laptop webcam is pretty sucky.

If winners are grinners then Chris clearly didn't know the meaning of loss in that video...either that or he's a close pal of Charlie Sheen. I know, the latter is a bit 2011, but the nostalgia moment was nice.

I finally had time to watch this and it was great. Chris, thanks for taking the time to do the interview.
