I think I'd rather have a new game. Sierra did a VGA remake already, that looks
pretty much like the screenie. I've already played through the AGI and SCI
versions, and the content smells like Lefty's john at this point. ;^)

Me too. Seems lots of the legendary PC developers are turning to 
Kickstarter these days. Tim Schafer raised $3.3m for a new adventure. 
Jane Jensen has one going for various adventure games (possibly Grey 
Matter 2) -

And next month Chris Jones will be launching one as the last chance EVER 
to make a new Tex Murphy game -

Hi Matt, yes, Kickstarter seems to be a popular way to get money to make PC 
games. Tim Schafer did really well.  I am like you. I would like to see 
another Tex Murphy as I am a fan of Chris Jones. For me, I would like to see 
a similar type game as Pandora Directive with the same characters in it as 
most of them were very good actors and it had a very good story and was FMV, 
but I don't think that would happen, but nice if it did IMO. I wouldn't want 
to see a continuation of "Overseer". It was disappointing.

Did you play Grey Matter (or anyone else here). Did you think it was a good 
game? I didn't play it. I played the demo and it didn't seem very 
interesting to me, but maybe it was OK. If Jane had made another Gabriel 
Knight game I would probably buy it, but unfortunately I don't think she has 
the rights.

I got Grey Matter a while back but have not played it. I remember not
being too impressed with the demo. Anyway I'll get to it one of these days.

The new Jane Jensen game, if the funding goes through at Kickstarter,
will be Moebius. She originally pitched three ideas and the the backers
voted to pick that game. According to her, it's somewhat similar to
Gabriel Knight, but has more sci-fi aspects. I added my $16 pledge to
the project today.

There's an article on Kotaku about the game

By the way she mentioned somewhere of a remote possibility of making a
Gabriel Knight game, but that it depends on how successful their current
endeavors turn out to be.

That was how I felt too after playing the demo..

Thanks for the link. I'm not much into metaphysical sci fi, so don't know if 
I would be very interested, but I would have to see when more of the game is 
made.

That would be of more interest to me. I loved all the GK games. It always 
left me wondering what would happen next. I liked the acting and characters 
in the game, so for me, I like a lot of interaction in games between the 
characters which you got in the GK games. They were funny, and kept me 
interested. But we will have to see how this new game Jane is making turns 
out. It might be good. Kickstarter is new and is a good idea to get game 
designers and programmers going. Thanks for the info Noman.
