Al Lowe is coming out of retirement to make Leisure Suit Larry games again

he was doing that like three years ago!

it's a quote from the first post in this thread

xps lol @ scott kurtz being involved

then again i guess it makes sense as TenNapel outed himself as a conservative crank iirc

ah, well yes.

Yeah, TenNapel is one of those guys whose personal opinions are absolutely something you never ever want to get near. Games are great, but everything else.....bleah.

i had to share my pain; once you see that stuff you can't unsee it

no idea about any of that but i fukken loved the neverhood

And they made a sequel! On the ps1, I think

Al Lowe is coming out of retirement to make Leisure Suit Larry games again.

Double Fine going back to the well (for an entirely different project)

tbh I totally want the game that I imagine it will be, but considering the ship date is a year and a half from now and it'll reach its goal through the efforts of Other People I don't know that it's worth backing…especially since I've not been digging into the backer-exclusive Double Fine Adventure updates at all.

man, this looks like the sort of thing i would drop three bills on and then have a hard time figuring out where to put after the first month.

Even thinking about playing Skyrim on that thing is tiring me out. All that running...

As a promo event for their latest Kickstarter, the DoubleFine guys are streaming a Small World(the board game) session, with a thinner Tim Schafer, Brad Muir, and Chris Remo(from Idle Thumbs)

the Kickstarted Shadowrun Returns is out on Steam.

And here's what happened when a dude canceled his project that was fully funded:

turns out I met this dude.

and here's from one of the artists stiffed:

my first reaction was "man, so shameless" but after watching the video and reading the page it's well done... may back this one. no doubt it will be huge by the time it's all said and done (2 days and it's already 55% of the $900k)

One of the most well-done kickstarter proposals i've seen.

pretty clearly a money laundering project

Currently all the rage:

I do dig the Ico meets Swords & Sorcery aesthetic. it's already tripled its modest goal

not asking for enough money for the amount of staff they want to carry for the next year, too many physical rewards for a primarily digital product, not a particularly clear-headed risks/challenges section…smells risky to me.

too many minecraft clones

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1763303301/ashen-rift-a-man-and-his-dog/

Star Citizen, born on Kickstarter, passed $40 million in funding pledges today.

I've never played Shaq-Fu, but it's always had a massive amount of hate directed to it. Seems like it was released too late (fighting games being kinda old post-MK2) and also ahead of its time, like it was already the kind of game that could get funded on Kickstarter.

Also it starred Shaq as a kung fu master

THIS is how you properly update your kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/29211325/sheltered

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taleoftales/sunset-a-first-person-videogame-thriller

that sounds pretty cool

yeah, definitely. much more interesting to me than dear esther or gone home

hey who would have guessed that giving half a million dollars to some Youtube "celebrities" to fund their own Minecraft ripoff would be a bad idea? certainly not the 5 people who backed at the $10,000 level!
