Here's a look at the finished escape pod model which will be featured at the beginning of Jack Houston!

Since we're venturing into non-game projects, I'll suggest those who (literally) have a spare dollar could check out a sci-fi short story project by a fellow adventure game fan:

@Bob Yep, you are correct! ;-)

@S.D & RSF.: MoO= Master of Orion?
@Stacy: thanks for the heads-up!

@S.D. Yeah I love MOO too - possibly and I say possibly, more than MOM! ;-) Thanks for coming over and supporting WoM. It turned out pretty well. :D

Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on May 2

@Stacy You've convinced me! ;-)

Creator S.D. on May 2

Stacy; you bet! Dogonauts is pretty endearing, and I love the claymation look.

speedster, actually I was more of an MoO guy, myself, but I kicked in a bit over there to help them make it happen. Seems to have a vaguely tabletop/minis feel to it, which I like. Looks pretty certain, at this point, that they'll reach their day-1 Linux/Mac goal (w/PayPal funds, they're ~£500 away w/8hrs left & Europe waking soon).

Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on May 1

@speedster. Good idea mentioning it here. Also, if they reach the latest stretch goal (less than 5,000 away) Linux will be released at the same time as PC. ;-)

Hey SD & Lurker, I just discovered the Master of Magic successor, Worlds of Magic, will provide a (slightly delayed) Linux version! 3 more days to back, in case MoM means something to you (as it does to RSF and myself)

Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on April 26

Thanks Bob & speedster. ;-)

@RSF: RSF, hi there! :-) My own priorities are definitely wrong too, as my mind seems to refuse me watching those Youtube-videos put at the top, where it should be.

Hi awesome and adventurous supporter RSF!

Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on April 24

I believe I am very guilty of not following this awesome project closely enough! Just been so busy running around on other things and RL. I've only managed to watch a couple of videos, however I will say this --> very much looking forward to your awesome work Stacy!!
Also, hi to the awesome gang of supporters here - best group EVA!!. ;-)

IP is ridiculously expensive, or so I've heard. :-(

Maybe Grumpy Gamer is letting Disney know there will be no bidding war between him and Tim Schafer over licensing rights to Monkey Island. Buying the rights is likely prohibitively expensive, unfortunately...

Damn you, Ron! You're a terrible terrible tease...

@speedster: was repairable, and has been repaired. Mine is not nearly five years old (yet). No big fan of i-devices myself either. I prefer to stay with the niche market I have (Linux), and not enter another one. :-) I have also noticed several current LCD/LED-screens that have a higher inch-dimension but are actually lower than my current one. I don't watch (HD) movies on my laptop(s), but am so totally against streaming or downloading them as such (even if legal) either so I go buying them on disc and watching them on my (big) tv-screen. So, those lower screens would also definitely hamper my browser window height-'policy'.

Creator speedster annelid dreamer $6.13 on April 10

Palindrome Bob, is it repairable or do you need to pick out a new laptop? Mine is five or so years old, and I'm not looking forward to needing a new one -- dislike the super thin trend that Apple has brought upon us, those stupid skinny cases do not have enough room for DVD drives or a respectable assortment of ports.

Then there are the stupid short LCD screens -- manufacturers call them "wide" screens but they always end up losing height and area :(
My 15" 4:3 display would need to be replaced by a 17" 16:10 display or 18.4" 16:9 display in order to fit the same height of browser window! Clearly the typical new 15" laptop is going to be a step down for my laptop usage, which involve mostly coding and reading rather than watching HD movies

Oh dear, 7 days since the last comment. Riggo's going to be furious. :-\ I blame it all on my Linux-laptop being broken and a week off @ work.
@Stacy: are you sure you can't post comments because you're not actually 'logged in' when using that app? Sometimes I have to do an extra login to post a comment.

Update :-)

Creator Rand Chua TL on March 29

Hope to see an update soon?

Creator Riggo on March 26

@Bob... We might be able to do two days, but that is stretching based on my linear equation for Jack Houston. ;-)

Creator Palindrome Bob-XSF-I'm in AGL589-AK666 on March 26

@Dax: I see about every OS there is in the MMO-graph, bar the one that's really important (to me and a couple of other JH backers): Linux.
Also: the "original Ecco the Dolphin team" is nowhere to be seen in my memory and from what I read in their project with reason, so no, I'm not going there.

@speedster: I don't make distinctions based between the different KS's I'm in/on, so thank you for making clear to me Riggo's interpretation differs from mine and let's keep it at that. Further, I only make a comment when I have something to say, so when my latest comment is the last one it is extremely unlikely I will make another.
@Riggo: is two days acceptable? :-P
### Member of the Pinkerton Road Cavalry ###

Creator Riggo on March 22

@Speedster... Thanks for enlightening Bob on this issue. :-)

Creator speedster annelid dreamer $6.13 on March 22

My interpretation is that 4 days of inactivity is not acceptable for Jack Houston comments -- Riggo may have some sophisticated method of calculating allowable periods of silence based on project attributes

Creator Palindrome Bob-XSF-I'm in AGL589-AK666 on March 22

@Riggo: You're probably not a backer on other projects I'm on then, because some of them have an even longer time between comments since they finished (long ago, I'd like to add).
### Member of the Pinkerton Road Cavalry ###
### Dreamfall Traveller ###

Creator Riggo on March 21

OK... 4 days between comments is unacceptable!!! I shall take care of that issue!!!!

Creator Palindrome Bob-XSF-I'm in AGL589-AK666 on March 18

@Lurker: thank you very much once more for your sleuthing in helping me out concerning Stacy's Youtube-videos. I've tried the first of your suggestions, will get back to you later.
@Riggo: It stands to reason we keep thinking of Stacy when posting another comment here. ;-)

Stacy... Just want you to know we are still thinking of you, :-)

@Palindrome Bob: I came across two different places to manage e-mail notifications. I'm not sure if they could be in conflict, as I haven't tested any subscription settings, yet; but I wanted to post them both, in case: http://www.youtube.com/account_notifications http://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager…

@Riggo: The title is something similar to Painting Alien Jungle Terrain. ...can't look it up right now, though.

Creator speedster annelid dreamer $6.13 on March 13

Doh I don't know the number; I'll have to get back to you on that when I go finish catching up, Riggo. Unless someone else remembers which episode before I get back to it.

Creator Riggo on March 13

Ooooh... Speedster... Which episode is that? Must admit that I have been distracted with real life and other projects, so I have missed that one!

Creator speedster annelid dreamer $6.13 on March 12

Finally started watching the youtube series last night, enjoyed the shout-out to S.D. and Lurker...

Palindrome Bob, I think DFW stands for Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Fort_Worth

Creator Palindrome Bob-XSF-I'm in AGL589-AK666 on March 6

Normally I don't do consecutive posts, but this being the 5115-th, I couldn't not. :-P
@Riggo: Is the DFW you're referring to the airport? My google search is giving me no single answer.

Creator Palindrome Bob-XSF-I'm in AGL589-AK666 on March 6

@Stacy: I never expected for you to be giving out those notifications, it is something I expected Google/Youtube to do due to the fact I subscribed. What else is the reason of subscribing (apart from having as some type of favourite)?

Stacy... Next time I can find a reason to get to DFW, I will certainly take you up on that offer. :-)
