Update #28 · Jun 9, 2012 · 38 comments

Ummm... Wow! We have already reached 110% of our Kickstarter goal! (We can't make update videos fast enough to keep up with the growing total!)

Thank you Mutant League! You have been so amazing in this Kickstarter campaign to spread the word and help get Tex back on his feet. 

Chris Jones thanks the Mutant League for their fantastic work as we launch into the final 6 days of our campaign. Also, he discusses the "Big Finish Manifesto!"

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! We'll start the expansion of Chandler Avenue!

Update #26 · Jun 7, 2012 · 42 comments

A Huge "Thank you!" to all the Mutant League backers! You guys are truly amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

Chris Jones talks about some of the stretch goals for the "Tex Murphy - Project Fedora" Kickstarter campaign.

If we exceed funding by 10% ($495,000+): Additional story (including puzzles, gameplay, locations and characters). 

If we exceed funding by 20% ($540,000+): Port the game to additional platforms, provide Text translations for French, Italian, German, Spanish (English will already be included). Finally, more recognizable actors.

If we exceed funding by 30% ($585,000+): Another expansion of the story (including puzzles, gameplay, locations and characters), ingame golf game, and Live Orchestra for the games' music.

Thank you everyone!
