Pinkerton Road Creative Review Book

Update #17 · May 5, 2012 · 20 comments

Brandon, from Art of Sierra, did a fun mock-up for us of what our  "Pinkerton Road Creative Review  2012" book might look like.  Way cool.

This will likely not really be the cover art, because by the time we're ready to put this together, we'll have a lot more great art to choose from.  But it still looks neat.  Thanks, Brandon!

This book will include a section on each of the games we do with color images of all the scenes, concept sketches (like the Moebius logo above), bios of team members and voice over actors and other cool stuff.  At the $100--999 levels you will get a pdf version of this.  At the $1000  and up levels you will be a signed hard copy.

      Jane!! this is great you are pursuing the dream you've always had in the back of your mind starting to develop arms and legs. I am so proud of you for the persistence and connection with your backers. We all hope to see Gabriel Knight 4 one day and I am sure we can make this happen thanks to all of us here!!! For those who are not familiar with the classic title start playing the games. If you get stuck you can always consult the Gabriel Knight forums that will help you overcome difficult obstacles in the games, but it is always nice to see how you solve it yourself and understand the logic of the game and most importantly the rich and enticing story that will lure you in all throughout the process. Gaming is no longer a fighting activity. Jane Jensen brings you full and thought provoking adventures that pick your brain and make you think and she draws into a game that essentially becomes a good alternative for a good book with amazing imagery. The artists, developers, and Jane herself along with her family work hard to make games they are passionate about and show it in their work. Trust me you'll know a good game once you play a Jane Jensen masterpiece. Sincere congratulations to Jane and her team that will make us backers and fans enjoy the most of it. People- we are getting an exclusive access to game industry content, something that was never done in Game industry history! This is a new concept that will go a long way and make all of us very excited!

      Btw... Is there anyway to get the hard copy below $1000 pledge? Seems many backers want hard copy but $1000 is too high for them...

      It looks amazing! However only available to 15 people? Better put this up for sale or something similar as there are loads of people who would want this as a hardcopy, me included!

      Creator Paula Kutvonen on May 6, 2012

      This sounds like a wonderful idea. It's really too bad the hardcopy is in such high tiers! :-( Would it be possible to purchase them individually at a later date...?
