Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[Moebius] and MAYBE GABRIEL KNIGHT 4?! Update on the Jane Jensen [KICKSTARTER]

Ha!
It really depends on the player. The truly new generation, I have no idea, I don't really recommend games to people considerably younger than me often (well, except when I'm peddling Planescape Torment every now and again, I suppose). I've recommended the game to people at around my age that weren't really gamers (beyond, the Sims and a few other titles here and there) and that seemed to generally go well. The graphics not really being a huge problem, as far as I could tell.
I guess my concern would be that a remake might make the graphics lose some of the charm. The character sprites are pretty outdated these days, but the character portraits still look great. I'm basically afraid of change
:!:
I am intrigued

They would have to self-deposit it into the kickstarter though, because if the number doesn't hit 300k, then the funds go back to all the people who donated.
I plan on giving more near the end, just in case.
No way. Like no way in hell it doesn't reach it.
It would have to stagnat at its current rate for it not to reach the goal. This game will get media exposure again shortly before the end. Not to mention as soon as the LSL Kickstarter ends (In 2 days) it will get another bump due to Sierra fans swapping over.
So, IMO most likely it will reach its goal even before the last day(s) bump.
At any rate, it doesn't look likely the kickstart will go much over the 300,000, which is a bit sad considering how several others have funded several times over the initial goal.

I don't think highlighting the items would make the game too easy. Lots of adventure games do it. Besides, GK1 is a difficult game and there's a trend towards easy adventure games these days. If the remake would supposed to be an introduction to the series for new people, being easier wouldn't hurt.
Donations are now pretty steadily rising after the Larry Kickstarter. At 265'000 at the moment.
"We have a new kickstarter main video coming today or tomorrow and some Moebius art by Sunday plus the Moebius T-shirt design."
Second Adventure confirmed with publisher support. (600'000 does not need to be made)
She would not be so vague if it wasn't going to be such a big deal.
Then, that publisher would be Activision. Not to be a downer but I have pretty big doubts.
Kickstart is now close to/at 280'000.
Just saying that there are a large number of possibilities here.
... is what I would say if I was actually around when it happened. For now its only 1'000 away and will reach the goal in a short time.
Still 13 days to go too. Happy days.
I *think* the signing specifically pertains to the GK design bible, although it's not quite clear. It's also digital signing, which makes me wonder if they're talking it in the pure encryption sense - not much fun to look at, but a legally-binding signature - or the layman's sense - basically a scan of the signature so you have a nice visual. The smart move would be to make it both.
I was toying with upping to the $200 level, but if I *do* that I might as well make a further jump to the $224 level and get the complete set of GK bibles.
They are in PA, right? I could totally make it to PA for a Scarlet Furies concert.
That's going to be a weird party, if awesome in a way. The one thing all guests will have in common? Being willing to drop $250 on a game. That's quite the icebreaker!
I'd probably stretch to that if it was remotely feasible for me to make it there. That said, I quite like the fact that it's not possible for me to make it to force me to sanity-check my funding.
Small time kickbackers can shell out 16$ for one game, which is IMO more than reasonable.
I see GK4 as the end of a project where they try to resurrect the franchise.
GK1 with a graphics update but 100% pitch perfect gameplay (think like what they did for Monkey Island) on Win/Mac/iPad. Drum up good sales, get the world talking about it... make some money.
GK2 needs it the most out of the three games, but it is also the hardest to re-do with the old assets, as I assume they don't have the individual mic audio channels any more, and some of the recording quality is less than stellar. If they remake GK2 in the style of GK1 (remake) or Moebius, they will probably need to bring him in to read some new lines, or possibly even an entire script.
I am loathe to want a remake in that style for GK3, as large numbers of the puzzles were built around using the camera, and they would have to re-script the entire game for the new perspective. Plus, having just played it, the graphics are not so terrible that people couldn't understand what was going on if they wanted to play it.
so remake 1 and 2, use it to remake 4(which should open with an intro movie that gives the important plot points from 3 to the player before dropping them into scotland or india or wherever she decides to go next)... and if 4 is CRAZY successful, THEN go back and tackle 3.
edit this would be my perfect world, but whatever she decided to do, I am there with bells on.
