Creator David Fieldstad Green Ahmanson on May 14, 2012
And the mysterious publisher is Activision?
Creator David Fieldstad Green Ahmanson on May 14, 2012
Am I the only one who thinks Mystery Game X might actually be Gabriel Knight 4?
Creator Dave Brown on May 6, 2012
@ Valentina Gioppo
Interesting - thanks for the info!
Creator Valentina - Dream Traveller on May 6, 2012
Sven and Dave: On the forum there was talk about Jane agreeing to send the packages as gifts. This would surely help with import taxes, especially if they are sent by a private person vs. a company. I opted for the $200 tier as I do want the boxed editions of the games and I hope it can be arranged so we don´t incur in extra charges just because we live abroad.
Creator Kristian Karlshoej on May 5, 2012
I can only encourage everyone to help spread the word about this kickstarter project.
Creator Dave Brown on May 5, 2012
@ Sven
I know - I'm also in Europe (Germany to be exact) hence I also chose the Digital Deluxe option. However, it does now seem we're getting the short straw as we're getting 0 benefits compared to the equivalent option. I might as well choose the $224 option & ask the big box versions to be given to charity. Another interesting point is 20% duty on what exactly? The $224 is not just for the "big box" things - there's lots of digital rewards too.
Creator Sven Opitz on May 5, 2012
@Dave Brown
The Digital Deluxe pledge is for us international members. If I get sent all the boxes and CDs I have to pay over 20% duty (IIRC 19% duty plus on top a 3.5% handling fee) on it on top off my pledge, plus (I am not sure of this) I might have to even pay duties on S&P. This can become quite expensive quite fast. If you are in America, the Digital Deluxe Package doesn't really make sense.
Creator Christoph Zürcher on May 5, 2012
Exciting stuff. Congratulations for securing a publisher deal for the second game.
Creator Dave Brown on May 5, 2012
All looking good :-). But I have to admit I'm not quite sure now what the benefit is of the $225 "Digital Deluxe" pledge which I had made. As as far as I can see, the new $224 tier is pretty much identical as well as getting the big box version of both games & the T-shirt. Guess I'll be changing my pledge to this unless someone can enlighten me...
Creator nrvllrgrs on May 5, 2012
As soon as she said that we were all going to be excited my mind immediately jumped to Gabriel Knight 4. And then I had to take a breath. I have to prepare myself for something different, else my heart will be broken.
Creator Emily on May 5, 2012
@Ethan - she explained that in the video. There's a publisher involved so it's not Jane's announcement to make. We have to trust that she's telling us as much she's able to. (Besides - this is business, it's pretty likely there are NDAs involved!)
Creator Ethan on May 5, 2012
Nice update, though I have to admit I cannot possibly fathom why you wouldn't reveal what the 2nd game is until after the campaign is over unless there is an NDA involved. More information would likely drum up a lot more support. I think a lot of the reason funding has been coming in more slowly is the vague nature of what is being proposed. More solid information would be helpful.
Creator filippod on May 5, 2012
At this point it would be great if all $16 backers jumped to $50. I'll sure will. However, it befuddles me how this project still has less than 4.000 backers. If Larry got 14.000+ (which is fab!) this should at least approach 10.000. Let's try to bring in a friend each!
Creator suppafoxe on May 5, 2012
The second game is great news!!!
Creator Valentina - Dream Traveller on May 5, 2012
This project is not only a labor of love for jane and Robert, but also is supported incredibly generously by all us backers, with an average $71 pledge! It just shows how badly we all want another 100% Jane Jensen game :)
Creator Shane Charleson on May 5, 2012
I am so glad that everyone is getting so strongly behind it, and will be upping my pledge when I can.
Creator ET3D on May 5, 2012
I'm happy that the second game will be funded and any extra Kickstarter funds will go towards making Moebius better.
Creator Ann Williams ~ Dream Traveler ~ on May 5, 2012
Really, I think that to me it's enough they are doing this at all, so I did the $100 tier because of that...but, can I say, this is AWESOME.
Creator James C on May 5, 2012
Just upped my pledge to $50 but I might be persuaded to up it to $100 once I see the design for the Moebius t-shirt...
Creator sVnsilver Sand, Dream Traveller on May 5, 2012
That. Was awesome! I don't know where to start, I'm blown away.
Creator WiredRacing on May 5, 2012
Excellent. This is the best news this campaign (the CSG) could get because it effectively pushes just about everyone to being a full CSG member to get more than 1 game.
As for MGX being GK. I dunno. I don't think the kickstarter backer numbers alone are enough to revive the series (transfer rights and result in funding from activision). But it could be a similar situation the Larry where they're getting a license to GK, and perhaps we would see a GK1 remake. Regardless, I'm glad to see all this work from Jane and Robert on the horizon. I don't have much time for games these days, but I WILL stop to play these.
Creator Daniel S on May 4, 2012
I originally pledged at the $50 tier mainly to get the GK e-books along with Moebius, but also in the hopes that getting all of the studio releases for the cycle would lead to something more. Very exciting update indeed!
Creator Damian James on May 4, 2012
need a tier between 1500 and 4999 to pull in some high pledgers
Creator Damian James on May 4, 2012
Jane looks great too
Creator Christina Gmiterko on May 4, 2012
I would love for the Mystery Game to be GK4, but somehow I doubt it. :) Thinking a bit more realistically, I can definitely see it being an updated version of GK1 for tablets etc., which I think in and of itself is a great idea - it would help raise funding for a high quality GK4 significantly.
Creator Stiler Orion on May 4, 2012
Could Mystery game X be something to do with GK? That would be beyond awesome.
I'd up my pledge if I could, but I just spent 2k on having CT and ultrasounds done :(.
Creator Jeff Crass on May 4, 2012
Awesome update! Two games. Can't wait. Woohoo!! :)
Creator Michael Gulick on May 4, 2012
Woo, nice effects at the end, Jane. Nice to see you let your dark side out every now and then :D.
Creator Hayley Morris on May 4, 2012
I've not given 50 dollars to any other kickstarter before, but I just upgraded my pledge. DARN YOU JANE!
Creator Kristian Karlshoej on May 4, 2012
Just upped to $200 :)
Creator Hideo Kuze on May 4, 2012
and what is this that I see... a new $224 tier O_O
:)
Creator Hideo Kuze on May 4, 2012
Great video and awesome news! It seems I'll have to raise my pledge to $200.
- my wallet says: *please show some mercy*
- and I just stare at it with cold eyes and reply: *muwahaha squeal you little piggy... squeal!*
The cat mustache joke was great ahah :)
By the way, the main page requires some fixes: The Simple Truths About Our Campaign section 3), the $200 tier description regarding the boxes, and I think this last video should replace the initial video
Creator Damian James on May 4, 2012
Hopefully we can reach somewhere around 400 - 450k... means a bigger game...
Creator Valentina - Dream Traveller on May 4, 2012
Pledges are flooding in as I can see. This is so good! I think we will pass the 300K mark and we will have two kick-ass games from Pinkerton Road!
Creator Nurot on May 4, 2012
Great news and great video! I had already decided to up my pledge to full CSG member, since I finally sorted through my finances for May (I always get my yearly bills in May for some reason). Now I am starting to oogle that 100 dollar (or rather 110 as international) pledge tier for the boxed editions.. But I can't promise anything. Will decide closer to the final date.
The new video is very clear on what the project is and what you get for the 50 and 16 dollar tiers, which is an improvement on the old video (which was still good). It will hopefully attract even more backers now. I really feel like this project should appeal to more people out there.
Creator Christabel on May 4, 2012
Yes, yes, yes!
Creator Tal Cohen on May 4, 2012
Okay I just watched the video and reached the part where Jane talks about how important Moebius is to her personally and how an extra 10-20K can improve the end result. I wish that each and every true fan of GK and JJ would see this video and hear Jane's sentiments about why it's important for more and more people to back this. I believe at least 10k people should have donated, but at least we're going to reach the goal.
Creator Tal Cohen on May 4, 2012
Awesome!!
Creator Momiji Mii on May 4, 2012
I loved the video! Jane, you're a star in front of the camera. :D Anyways, really excited about getting another game for my bucks and I'll make sure to spread the news!
Creator Friederike M. on May 4, 2012
Dear Jane Jensen, the origin video on the front page just disappeared...
Can you put in another place, since i loved it because of all the hints of the recent games?
Creator Sean Jordan on May 4, 2012
This is wonderful news! I hope this encourages a lot more backers to jump up to the $50 level. I may even jump up to a higher bracket myself to get a big box edition of Moebius.
Congrats, Pinkerton Road! You've been something of a Kickstarter underdog amidst all these other high-profile adventure games, but those of us who have been backing you over the last month couldn't be more excited to see what happens over the next two weeks!
Creator CosmicMeeting on May 4, 2012
Massively increased quality of the video, very nice! As for the extra game, I have a hard time believing Jane would pitch it in such a way if it hasn't got something to do with Gabriel Knight. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it whatever it is as I have with all her games.
Creator Ingwell Ritter on May 4, 2012
OMG! Fantastic news!! Cool video :). I'm so excited about this with my actual pledge , Thank youuuuu!!! ^^
Creator Sander on May 4, 2012
What a wonderful update! Really excited!!
Thanks very much!
Creator Sven Opitz on May 4, 2012
@Jeremy please don't take this the wrong way, but asking Santa Claus might be more effective...
Creator Sven Opitz on May 4, 2012
I guess it is either Moebius 2 (although she implies it is none of the pitched titles, this could be a feint) or something completely new. I don't think there will be a GK4 in the near future. This is a) a shame and b) great. A, because I'd love to see a GK4 and B because it gives Jane the possibility to create something new, which might even be better than GK. If all she ever does is GK, she can never get better than GK (however, she really has to jump high, if she intends to top GK ;), but I believe she is able to do it)
Creator JS on May 4, 2012
Activision: If you're trolling these comments and this means you have released the rights to GK to Jane, thank you. If you haven't, PLEASE do so.
Creator Omri on May 4, 2012
Yeaa! two games- hopefully i'll be able to up my pledge further- it would be awesome to receive the boxed version- Mystery Game X = Gabriel Knight 4 (in high hopes)
Creator Sean B. Brown on May 4, 2012
PLEASE LET IT BE GK4!
Creator calbeb on May 4, 2012
@Candice. The first bit of the video discusses Moebius, examining some of the plot points we have already known. She also says that anything over the goal will go into making the game better.
The second half of the video discusses a new second project which they will be working on. This project will be funded by another publisher, and will be made by a second dev team she has had lined up. She has not announced what the game would be, but it is implied that it is not one of the other two pitched titles.
The deal came through because of all the kickstarter adventure game excitement. She also announced taht anyone who is a CSG member (ie.50$ backer or higher) will be getting the second game for free upon it's release.
If you pledge 15$, you will be able to choose which of the two games you want.
