Tex Memorabilia information and Live Countdown for the close of the campaign.
Google+ On Air Broadcast
Aaron Conners, Chris Jones, Doug Vandegrift, Adrian Carr and others from the Big Finish Team will have a "countdown" broadcast on Friday, June 15 as the "Tex Murphy - Project Fedora" Kickstarter campaign draws to a close. Please send questions for them at: http://www.bigfinishgames.com/contact with the subject line Google+ Question.
We will embed the live video on the front of the Kickstarter page. The broadcast will begin at 9:00pm MDT.
Tex Memorabilia Drawing
There have been some issues brought to our attention since we first announced we will be giving away Tex memorabilia to backers of the campaign. We have amended some of the qualification to be more inclusive of everyone who has donated.
1) Everyone who has pledged at least $15 gets a chance at winning a piece of Tex memorabilia.
2) Anyone who upgrades their pledge by $15 from the time UPDATE 34 was launched has a chance at winning an upgrade to the $1,000 tier. 3 people in total will win an upgraded tier. If you are selected and have already pledged at the $1,000 tier, you will receive one of the Tex memorabilia pieces.
Because there have been some changes - we will draw the names of the winners on Thursday, June 21 and contact you through Kickstarter. You will have one week to respond to the email to claim your prize!
Thanks everyone for your support throughout this campaign. The Mutant League has truly been amazing!

Creator Urabutln on June 15, 2012
Yay, the raffle was my idea :-)
Creator Matt Combes on June 14, 2012
Per Chris & Aaron's comment in the latest update, after receiving a response from Kickstarter, the drawing will proceed as intended. Not sure of the wires getting crossed on KS's end between Tex and Lilly, but regardless, this giveaway is apparently approved.
Creator Elliott Orban on June 14, 2012
I'm just over $1000 and I have no problem with the raffle or pledge tiers, i think it's a wonderful idea, and yes, We are getting the game next year, that is all that matters, we pledge what we can, and we support the game and each other as a community! :)
Creator Alex - Mostly Harmless on June 14, 2012
Sucks, 9pm MDT is 3am GMT :( hope they record it.
Creator Meatloaf OntheRadio-Xenon Special Forces on June 14, 2012
@Soullifter go check out Lilly's kickstarter, they had to take down their raffle for a goggles giveaway.
Creator cutterjohn on June 14, 2012
Much better, now back to being the best run KS that I've seen so far....
Creator Vicki Hsu on June 14, 2012
Upped my pledge by the $15 for a shot at the awesome prize! :) So looking forward to this game! =)
Creator Dan Robert Polsrød | Dream Traveller on June 14, 2012
Awesome! Bumped my pledge as well. :-)
Creator Stuart Johnson on June 14, 2012
Lilly Looking Through kickstarter was going to have a drawing but then they were told that was against Kickstarter policy by somebody from kickstarter and dropped the drawing.
Creator Jonathan - Member, Mutant League on June 14, 2012
I upped my pledge, bring it on!
Creator Devon Rampe on June 14, 2012
Ok, no prob. I'll bump my pledge by $15.
Creator SoulLifter on June 14, 2012
There have been several KS projects who have had drawings similair to this that were successfully funded. Just search Google. I think you just can't exclusively have a raffle on pledge tiers, etc. Because this is in addition to all the swag in the tiers already, seems ok. In any event, I think it's exciting and a good way to help us get to $585k.
Creator Karen Elizabeth on June 14, 2012
@Roflmaou - if this campaign were shut down due to a violation, I'd be SO devastated. I already PMed BFG last night about the potential problem. So I assume that the changes to the drawing were made to make it more compliant. I hope, anyway.
Creator Douglas Wells on June 14, 2012
Agree with Linda!!
Creator Roflmaou on June 14, 2012
Meatloaf is correct though, if you read the guidelines, I'd hate for this project to get in trouble...I hope they cleared this with someone! if not I wouldn't be surprised if they had to stop the drawing.
Creator Roflmaou on June 14, 2012
what Linda said.
Creator Linda Gregory-Tex's Mutant League Ch.888 on June 14, 2012
@Darren So no one but you and whoever has $1,000 to donate deserves the items in the $1,000 tier? That seems to be what you’re saying and that’s an awful attitude. It’s great that you have the money and were willing to donate it to the cause, but there are hundreds of people who have backed this project with every cent they can spare and then some and were still far below that threshold. They are no less deserving of the fantastic rewards than you are. As I mentioned in a comment on the previous update, this is a fundraiser. We are not entitled to ANY of the rewards in the tiers. We are not “buying” the rewards, we are funding another Tex Murphy game. Just as the rewards are simply incentives to choose higher donation tiers over the lower ones, so is the raffle an incentive for people to chip in a bit more. And to that end, Chris and Aaron have come up with another incentive to raise money. That is what the Project Fedora kickstarter is FOR. You and so many others seems to have lost sight of this fact and are focusing on what you think you are entitled to and owed.
Creator Meatloaf OntheRadio-Xenon Special Forces on June 14, 2012
kickstarter does not allow drawings
Creator ☆Umbrae Soulsbane☆ on June 14, 2012
So no special tier for us $75-ers? That's kind of a bummer cause I already upped as much as I can before the update. Oh well. At least the game will be made!
Creator Roflmaou on June 14, 2012
no Devon, you're entered into the non $1k tier prize drawing, if you want in the additional prize drawing then you have to up pledge $15.
Creator Linda Gregory-Tex's Mutant League Ch.888 on June 14, 2012
@Devon Only for the second raffle. The Tex memorabilia raffle is open to everyone who has already or will pledge $15 or more. To have a chance at having your tier upgraded, yes, you would have to up your pledge by $15. Which seems fair since you'd be getting the $1,000 tier.
Creator Devon Rampe on June 14, 2012
Wait so this is saying that if I'm pledging at the $150 level, that I have to add an additional $15 pledge to get entered into the drawing? :(
Creator Karen Elizabeth on June 14, 2012
@Darren, I think these changes were made to comply with Kickstarter rules concerning contests & raffles. If the campaign didn't comply with rules, the project could be shut down and that's the last thing we'd want! O_O
Creator James Graham on June 14, 2012
Awesome idea.
Creator Roflmaou on June 14, 2012
I think this is a great idea.
Creator Tobi (Crusader Kickstarter pls!!) on June 14, 2012
this solutioin is more generous than anyone could have asked for, thanks and again: wooohooooooooooo!!!
Creator Darren Sebire - Member, Mutant League on June 14, 2012
Don't agree with people winning a tier they didn't pledge on.
Creator Henning - Steve&Soullifter's Mutant Mom on June 14, 2012
Yay!!! =D
Creator sbenrap on June 14, 2012
Nice :)
Creator Chris Jones & Aaron Conners on June 14, 2012
@WP - Yes, the broadcast will be recorded and available via our Big Finish YouTube channel the next day.
Thanks!
Creator WP - Member, Mutant League on June 14, 2012
Can you please record the broadcast for us, for those who miss it due to whatever.
My excuse is working for that pledged cash ;)
Creator barbarian_bros on June 14, 2012
