  They just need to make the estimated delivery date field non-mandatory, because every single dev will fill that one too optimistic on purpose (Also not a stab at this project). In the end, it comes down to trust, and as it currently stands, Bt has such a high trust from me, he could release the game.. never, and I would still be... not angry :-) *moves along so that he doesen't accidentally sees things intended for Dablue*

  @BT: slap a deep booming voice on you and you could use that line as a commercial for kickstarter. haha.. so dear BT.. what did you wanted to show dear old Dablue?
8. Creator Steven "Blackthorne" Alexander on May 7
  
  Yeah, you know, it's hard. People may have been overzealous on their release dates - it wasn't done with any kind of maliciousness, I know... sometimes you just get so excited, and your estimates get off. Soon, waiting for the release dates'll be over, cause someday we'll all have a bunch of games!!!

  @Riggo: i get to see it, but you get to feel it ;)
  @Bt: cool because Its nice weather , bummed because not a single KS makes Its delivery date. (No stab at you tho) ;)

  @Bt... Please limit it to DaBlue! The rest of us may not want to see "it". :-D

  I believe that you gave my email address to facebook as I was just spammed by them.
  Doesn't the Kickstarter privacy policy disallow giving backer information to third parties?

  Hey BT!
  
  Thnx for the reply. I dont blame you that you didnt make december. Afterall, we unlocked so many new areas that that would be an unfair thing to ask. But in my weekly run past the projects I found myself wondering how it went. I simply cannot wait to see the game in its full glory! I missed the news you allready said it was going to be Q2 or Q3, so my appologise for that. I am very curious what the news is you will share with us =) and yeah.. everything cool on this side. Btw, if you seek out a new project to back.. I can advice Divinity : Original Sin from the Belgian studio of Larian.

  Hey Dablue - We're just working really hard to assemble the game. The art assets are coming in like crazy - we have over 160 backgrounds in game now - there's only a few left to finish. We're working on the intricacies of the game engine, making sure the stats, battle, money systems all work properly... It's fun, though - You can walk across the Valley of Krasna now, as all the backgrounds - finished ones and concept art/sketches - are in, so I've been exploring. It's pretty crazy - fun to walk around all the places we've been creating.
  
  Remember - the December date was an arbitrary date when the game was going to be much smaller, but we've expanded out now. I've said it before, but we're now aiming and hoping for a late Q2 - Early Q3 launch. I do have a bunch of news to share, and I'll be sending that out in an update, but - you know - I like to respond to things personally when people ask me!
  
  I hope things are well for you these days! Stay cool, puppy!

16. Creator Dablue on April 1
  
  Update time BT : also december come and gone. Any preliminary release dates ?
17. Creator Riggo on March 28
  
  @Bt... Good to hear we are keeping you busy! I am pretty sure that is the goal of these KS things. ;-)
18. Creator Steven "Blackthorne" Alexander on March 27
  
  Hey Riggo,
  
  Actually, I've been incredibly busy! It goes well - lots of exciting stuff going on. We should have a new Kickstarter Update soon - this week, I'm hoping.

  I am seriously considering "GOAT STARE".

  Dramliz beat me by almost a day, but I too encourage everyone that's backed Quest for Infamy to throw some cash at Mage's Initiation. The more Adventure/RPG's the better, let's make it happen!
29. Creator Dramliz, Green Dragon of the AGL589 on February 19
  
  The folks who did the VGA remake of QFG2 (AGDI, now Himalaya Studios) have their own kickstarter up for their new game, Mage's Initiation. Looks pretty awesome. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2112639455/mages-initiation-a-classic-sierra-style-adventure

  @Riggo: Korea? you are not involved in that long range missile launch i hope? ;p
36. Creator Riggo on February 7
  
  Thanks Bt... ;-)
37. Creator Steven "Blackthorne" Alexander on February 7
  
  Heh - It's all covered Riggo - you know, Agustin Cordes actually has a voice cameo in Demo 2.0! Which should be ready to go tomorrow afternoon (Eastern Standard Time) and I'll be putting out an update with it - which I will mention Asylum. Agustin is a great guy, and I want to help him any way I can.
  
  Bt
38. Creator Riggo on February 7
  
  @Bt... Asylum needs a shout out if you have an update to share. Jus' sayin'
39. Creator Riggo on February 7
  
  Maybe not sadly for everyone else. :-)
40. Creator Riggo on February 7
  
  Sorry Dablue... The bad news is that I am still here. Spending a lot of time talking to Korea... Sadly it has slowed me down some, but I am not gone. :-P

  I love the idea of the Hint Book section in the art book - it's a very viable idea, absolutely. The production of the book - the layout and stuff, would be started a few months down the road, when the team isn't scrambling to get the game done, and I can have someone come in and help organize the art, text and other features.
  
  You're right; I wouldn't want this to impact finances negatively or the games progress - as you know, we're working on a VERY, VERY tight budget and schedule... but this could be done. There definitely seems to be some interest (I love you guys!) so stay tuned on the book idea. I'll keep you in the loop. I can say that I definitely WANT to have the hint section, game guide in the book. I might even spread the hints out along the whole book - keeping them relative to the art on the page.
  
  @ Riggo - yes, of course, I plan on mentioning Asylum in my next update. Let me tell you something, that Agustin Cordes is a really nice fella. Seriously, he's funny and genuine - he really likes making these games. I like supporting that.
44. Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on February 1
  
  S.D. Why did you have to add reason to the discussion? :D Love the idea of the hint book contained within it!
45. Creator Riggo on January 31
  
  Bt... Any chance for an update with a shout out to Asylum?
46. Creator S.D. on January 31
  
  Ritechezfire... "Stop spit balling and start running up the charts!" ... but.. but... I really want Bt to concentrate on making the game for us, y'know? ;-)
  
  Dablue: He definitely has to not totally screw the team on finances. If the book can be dovetailed into the schedule then it could be a way to boost funding to make release easier. It will obviously need lots of writing, art, and layout time... *plus* Bt, and probably Broomie, manning the KS for a month, continuously (which is a load of stress in itself).
  
  Bt: I just got to thinking... perhaps that campaign could also be how the old-school red-film hint-book idea we've been bandying about gets done. Or, such a hint-book section can occupy an appendix of the art book with a hint-revealer shipped with it (stylized as a bookmark?), also as a stretch goal. That could convert the hint-book publishing problem into two smaller problems (a writing/page-layout problem which has to be done for the book anyway, and a bulk order of red-film hint-revealer accessories). Lastly, if the budgeting is worked out in your favor, and the campaign sadly does not fund, you're out the stress of the 30 day campaign, but very little of IQ's tangible funds (i.e., minimal impact on QFI development, or IQ's future health).
47. Creator Steven "Blackthorne" Alexander on January 31
  
  I want to be able to do a Hardcover Version, too - but I'd have to start out funding, I think, with softcover. The cost of Hardcover is a bit more.
  
  Bt
48. Creator Dablue on January 30
  
  @Bt: make it hardcover tho, softcover blows.
49. Creator Dablue on January 30
  
  @Bt: defenitely interested in it, make it a separate kickstarter.
50. Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on January 30
  
  @BT I really want this art book! Stop spit balling and start running up the charts! :D
  Seriously, I think it will be great (and I agree, chasing a hardcover stretch goal is an awesome idea - I believe it would drastically lower the base goal, but we just have to make sure we get to it. That's all I'm saying on that front). I'm guessing there's a few Adventure game developers floating around KS that would be looking at how to put their art books together. Perhaps some collaboration between the parties specifically around that might prove helpful? ;-) I was initially thinking SV, Hero-U, Jack, Shadowgate, possibly even Tex, LSL and BS (although they might be more along, which could at least give you some "lessons learned"), etc. Just my 2 cents worth.
  +1 for team signatures and special thanks. :D
