Andromedan Spaceport

I....am going to bed. I hashed this out in the shower, and at work, probably subject to change, but here it is for now. All comments welcome. The ballad of 218K - Dedicated to those who never gave up, and everyone else besides. (Think "The Times they are a Changin" by Bob Dylan, mixed with "Scarborough Fair" - the Simon and Garfunkel version) With a dash of the Space Quest 1 theme thrown in for relief. :) 218K is pronounced two-one-eight-K) COME! Gather around and I’ll tell you a tale Of brave Women and Men who all Pledged to prevail Over fantastic odds, and the trolls in their way, As they reached the great slowdown of 218K Space Pope was asse…

Tawmis Vohaul discusses Stretch Goals

Can not put this into words right now. Very happy! Your thoughts and feelings?

Glanz Handerson here, to bring you the latest in SpaceVenture news! Please post news as you see it; media only, no personal or user blogs unless they're notable (Wil Wheaton, Fellicia Day, Notch, etc). I've attempted to remove duplicates as much as possible, but this is a work-in-progress. I hope it's useful!! Very important... please do not discuss any of the news coverage; for that, we have StellarSoul's thread at: SpaceVenture News and Rumours The Big List of Press (Ascending Chronological Order): April 15, 2012 2012-04-15 Joystiq: http://www.joystiq.c...w-spaceventure/ April 16, 2012 2012-04-16 gamesradar: http://www.gamesrada...e-spacev…

Hey guys, I'd love to get your thoughts on our new PayPal stretch goals page before we do an official update. I need you all to have some things in mind first. Before slamming the things we have there, remember that we are trying to achieve more so we can add the new features to SpaceVenture. Rest assured, the game will be made, as we have the funding now, but this page below will show you our stretch goal plans. Scott and Mark themselves decided on what the stretch goals would be. I of course gave my 2 cents from a fan perspective, but in the end, they decided on what they considered to be most valuable and what kind of funding we'd need to implement them. …

when do you think prototype#3 will be up and running?

Tim Schafer, Al Lowe, and Jane Jensen each did a Reddit "Ask Me Anything", which is a sort of community interview. Will the Two Guys be doing this? It's a great way to build publicity for the Kickstarter. I would suggest you PM the Mods of the AMA subreddit today, and say that the two guys will be answering questions (with help from Chris Pope) Thursday or Friday afternoon. I'm happy to do anything I can to help, if your not familiar with Reddit. These are the examples- Study these to get examples of the questions you might be asked ;) http://ww.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tla3z/i_am_jane_jensen_creator_of_gabriel_knight_gray/

I'm sorry if there's already a thread for this, but I didn't think "press" or "rumors" included other forum threads, so I made this a topic on its own.

I have asked the Two Guys about this a few days ago but haven't received an answer yet so I thought maybe you guys can help me out. I've seen they've set up the paypal option on their website. My question is how long will the paypal option remain open and will it by possible for existing backers to up our pledges to a higher tier? Will all the items be available (the buckazoid for example is emphasised as a Kickstarter incentive. I have the bronze buckazoid so far but I was hoping I could maybe snag that silver buckazoid also after the kickstarter was over)?

Just something ridiculous that struck me last night... https://p.twimg.com/Au_T2EBCQAMlvvw.gif:large https://p.twimg.com/AvB7yKZCIAAuGEu.gif:large Search for Fester Blatz on Google Images and create your own! Jess

Hey Space Quest gamers! In the following, you'll read an interview Michael Ecke and I did with none other than Scott Murphy these days. The purpose of it is to promote the SpaceVenture kickstarter campaign. And as long as you'll link it to tgakick.com and credit Michael and me for doing it, you can take it and post it at any site you want for free. It IS its purpose to promote the campaign, so feel free to use it for that. Please. Thanks guys! Enjoy the interview! AN INTERVIEW WITH SCOTT MURPHY by Michael Ecke and Christian Giegerich It’s been seventeen years since we last saw them together: Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe, known by their loyal fans …

Today should be officially named SpaceVenture Day in honor of all our hard work and enthusiasm paying off! We did it everyone!!! The Two Guys are back, and we helped make it possible!!! WE KICK ASS!!

Hey There Guys, I know I've been following the Two Guys Kickstarter for Space Venture with an active eye. Someting tells me that you guys around here haven't heard about it yet - www.tgakick.com if you haven't seen it! Heh - just kidding! But seriously - it's the big push now. The final days. I'm very excited about it, and things seem to keep climbing. This game getting funded is so important to me. I know it's important to all of us. I figured a thread where we could watch, talk about and support the final push was in order. I'm so impressed with how hard everyone here has worked to support this. I've seen all your names all over the Kickstarter, T…

Posting this more widely - Right, so here's the thing. The poster that they used to make the box art for SQ4 is on eBay, and will be for the next hour. The money that is spent on it will be re-invested back into the TGA kickstarter, in YOUR name. That means if you win, you get the poster AND the prizes from the kickstarter. Which means, if you had bid more than $2500 (the current price), you could currently go over to eBay, bid the same amount, and win the poster as a free gift. W00t!. On the one hand, if you win, you'll get an awesome poster, AND get the kickstarter prize. If you lose, you drive up the price for whomever wins, and they end up payin…

:y: to the Two Guys and Chris Pope. Great job. Visit tgakick.com for more details, download the PowerPoint or PDF (I recommend the PP) for full coverage! I'm excited about Ace Hardway and his helper Rooter, and the 'visions' of Cluck sound hilarious.. It sounds similar to but just different enough from SQ that I'm eager for it.

Hey, gang! Just a reminder that the Second Superfan Hangout is today -- Saturday, June 9th -- at 2:00 PM Eastern/11:00 AM Pacific. We'll be playing Space Quest fan games this time, with several fan game designers on hand to discuss their work. Rumor has it that we might even have a super-secret surprise guest join in on the fun. As always, we're there to get the word out about the Two Guys' SpaceVenture. If we happen to have a few laughs in the process, all the better. :) More details are here; we'll get a link to the live YouTube stream up as soon as it's running. UPDATE: You can access the live YouTube stream below when the Hangout is underway: …

Thalia James of the Computer Game Maintenance Squad (see current signature) decided to go above and beyond the call of duty and embark on what could be considered the most challenging puzzle of all: getting a male teenager to cooperate with a much older adult. Though her nephew's lineage is somewhat dubious (she's hypothesized that he's either a subspecies of human that has developed on another planet or a human-alien hybrid), she nonetheless felt he would be a perfect candidate to help promote one of the many adventure game projects that some of the people on the Outside are trying to get off the ground. (And yes, he was adopted.)

*Had to seperate the threads out because the other thread how too much media for my rank, hah* I keep noticing on the Kickstarter comments page that people are losing track of all these great posts and blog articles that are in need of being upvoted by us dedicated fans so here we go: *I'll add to it throughout the next 5 days, of course* http://raptr.com/gam...ery=space quest this one needs some love.

So my good friend and conjoined twin tomlee80 asked Scott on twitter earlier today to confess whether he was a fan of space quest or not. Yes, I know we are in stressful times with the kickstarter and all that but I felt it was some light relief from the nail biting few days. As so many of us had been bringing up Red Dwarf during the live chats on twitch.tv, I had been surprised by the lack of response from Scott and Mark. Of course I was well aware of how British Red Dwarf was, but I knew it had a considerable following stateside. It's similarities to Space Quest are completely coincidental (which in a way is even more cool considering Scott and Mark didn't use it as…

As Mr. Olsen just tweeted: Of course, this is all circumstantial. But when he gets... tired and emotional... we know that Mr Trowe has previous. I'm sure this is another classic example of a misunderstanding.

anyone have any links with the commentary vids with fixed audio? I keep trying to watch them because I missed some live.. but due to lag the picture and sound always end up horribly out of sync playing two seperate files... I would love to finish watching them though...

Hi, Fellow Andromedians!, Since we are down to the wire I've been going through Mr. Homn and S.D's thread of Forum links to hit up and I noticed an alarming amount of them aren't updated with the CURRENT INFO for this CAMPAIGN so here is a good Promotional block of text containing all of the latest and greatest info which will be updated in the next few days. IT is now MORE IMPORTANT than EVER to make sure that everyone who can possibly know, knows about all the great features and rewards that this campaign and game to be will have to offer so go forth, SOLDIERS! FOR ANDROMEDA! Please DO NOT hesitate to check out the forums list here: http://www.spaceques...-wor…
