    Just started Under A Killing Moon, so great timing.

    And I really like it so far.

    It looks like Atlus has stepped in to help market Tesla Effect.

    Greetings Mutant League,

    I have some very exciting news that I wanted to let you guys know about. As it turns out, some of the members of the Mutant League also work in the gaming industry and wanted to help us with Tesla Effect.

    Atlus games approached Big Finish and offered to help market and distribute Tesla Effect. Several members of Atlus were backers to our project and wanted to support us as an independent gaming studio to reach a wider audience.

    So, I am pleased to announce we are partnering with Atlus games to publish Tesla Effect. Now, what does this mean?

    - This will give Big Finish Games the opportunity to work with the biggest online distributors

    - Atlus has relationships with Game magazines, websites and blogs and can get Tesla Effect featured in more articles.

    - Their team with play test our game every week, ensuring the best possible product for you guys.

    - Their support will help throw some more polish into the final game. More object animations, better visual effects, and a few more surprises.

    - We are in the midst of deciding on a release date. We want to release the game at an optimal time so since there are two new consoles debuting this Christmas, we are aiming for a first quarter release in 2014.

    We are so excited about this relationship and how it will help Tesla Effect be a much more polished and widely seen game.

    The Mutant League has really been amazing. We would have never, ever, EVER been able to bring Tex back without you guys. We have been soooo humbled by your support and we are so excited for this game we’re going to bring you.

    For the official press release, check it out HERE!

    Now, we have released several screenshots from the game today – so take a look at those. We will also be releasing the SECOND Trailer for Tesla Effect AT Salt Lake Comic Con.

    Mutant League, if you can come to Salt Lake Comic Con, we would love to see you guys and thank you in person.

    Chris Jones

    THAT is what I'm talking about, Atlus. A genuinely worthwhile western game. Good for them.

    I didn't even know this was a thing until I just got my Atlus Faithful e-mail. I loved the hell out of some Tex Murphy growing up - now I get a new one? Sign me up.

    Tex Murphy and Dreamfall are the only 2 things I've kickstarted.

    And this year I finally finished Overseer and The Longest Journey (yes the first one, now working on Dreamfall).

    I do wonder how much of the Tex Murphy radio drama and the plot threads from Overseer are going to be used in Tesla Effect.

    You can get Mean Streets/Martian Memorandum, Under a Killing Moon, Pandora Directive and Overseer all together for $25 at GOG.

    Nothing about these updates has made me regret my Kickstarter backing.

    The background polys look like they never left the 90s, and that's fine by me.

    I wish I'd backed it, but I was worried it wouldn't make it. Glad it did for sure.

    So you were worried that you wouldn't be charged at all for backing it if it didn't make it? :P

    Uh... yeah.
    (I don't really like committing to a KS that might not make it.)

    The game totally came together and it is about a popular subject. The great thing now is that it is all in HD. We finally get a full realization of Tex's world.

    I am impressed that they got most of the major actors back. Also, they got ATLUS involved.

    Wait. Kevin, Tom Servo, Murphy does a voice in this game?

    Not "A" voice...

    "THE" Voice.

    Edit: Actually nevermind, it looks like it's just Atlus reposting it into their own channel too.

    And of course, a launch trailer:

    With very fond memories of Under A Killing Moon, after watching that trailer...

    I'm in.

  • NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    Last year I FINALLY beat Overseer, after buying it on DVD/CD-ROM at release and then on GOG (along with Pandora Directive and UAKM).

    Also need to get around to Martian Memorandum but that seems to be a bit too much of a pixel hunt at times.

    I kinda hope there is no part in this game where something is chasing you in real time and you have to trap it before you can freely explore the environment. I hated those parts in previous games. Hiding under desks from that security robot or that thing at Area 51 were super stressful.

    Tex Murphy has to be the best big name Kickstarter game production so far.

    What made those parts terrible for me were the bad controls. How awkward and difficult it was to move your character around made those situations way more stressful than they should have been.

    Shadowrun's gonna be damn hard to top, but that was mostly because I hadn't played a game that well written in years. This could live up to it, but that's due to camp value.

    I'm a huge Tex Murphy fan but haven't been following this for whatever reason. I just watched the 8 minute trailer and I need this NOW. It looks very true to the originals and even had a lot of the same actors. Can't wait for the 22nd!

  • MetallikatMetallikat Registered User regular
    So, there's a demo out now on Steam. Downloading it right now.

  • Sir CarcassSir Carcass I have been shown the end of my world Round Rock, TXRegistered User regular
    I just played a good bit of the demo. It's pretty good! It definitely has the feel of the old games. The voice acting and small descriptions is spot on. Todd Bridges was great in the one scene I saw of him. Exploring feels like an upgraded version of the first person exploration of the original, except you don't have to switch back and forth between modes (walk/explore and game mode with commands). The textures of the game definitely felt like a call back to the older games. They didn't look bad or low res, but they just felt like the same art direction or something. The videos even look like upgraded versions of the original stuff. It totally feels like it came out a couple of years after Overseer, except it looks way better.

    The not so good stuff. Well, this one is subjective as to whether it's good or bad, but I think a lot of gamers today won't be a fan. It definitely has the feel of the old games where you wander around aimlessly for a while trying to figure out what to do before you stumble onto the answer. Puzzles have very little description. Some are easy to tell what it wants, others are a lot of trial an error. I spent way too long trying to find the 5 planks at the beginning since everything kind of blended together and they were hard to find. I haven't seen any moon logic yet, though. I also felt some of the jokes felt a little forced, but I've only seen very little on that front. Other stuff got a laugh out of me, so I guess it's a typical Tex Murphy game in that respect.

    I played through all of Under a Killing Moon again a month or 2 ago, and part of Pandora Directive (which I've also finished a couple of times previously), so the games are still pretty fresh in my mind. From what I've seen so far, this is the Tex Murphy game we've all been waiting for.

    I am 100% happy. I am currently 2 for 2 with my kickstarter backings turning out good after this and Broken Age. Just need the spiritual Space Quest sequal to be good to complete my set.

    Awesome. A demo. Pulling it down. I guess my boxed edition will be shipping at some point.

    Edit: The game feels tight. Not certain how to solve the puzzle.

    Edit: Not the sliding puzzle. Totally nailed that.

    I enjoyed the demo greatly. The movement and puzzle stuff felt good, and the FMV was great. My only complaint is that I couldn't find any gamma control options, and thought the game was a little too dark.

    Question: do I need a 3d card to run it? Cause my current laptop doesn't have one and unemployment prevents me from upgrading for awhile...

    If no acceleration is needed, I might be able to get it though.

    You can try the demo, but I'm willing to bet you do. It's fully 3D.

    My dad and I played Under A Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive together about fifteen years ago. One of the last things we got to talking about was this coming out. He passed away two months ago (to the day) so it's been on my mind a lot. Looks like I'll have to give the demo a shot.
