It's coming, don't worry. Voice actors were recently recorded. There are videos with interviews with them by Chris Pope.

For some reason I can't find my Kerona Ale coupon or original manuals/reg cards. Stupid stupid stupid younger dumb me.

Had an idea after posting in the other thread of discussing what you think (or would like) the SV box cover would look like. They've said that it'll be similar in style to Space Quest IV's big box so I'm guessing something like those dimensions. I recently received my Broken Age big box for my Kickstarter reward and it was made to resemble the DOTT box and the LA boxes of old with the border, logo in the bottom center, etc. I wonder will the SV box resemble an old Seirra box? What would you want from it? Something resembling the SQ1 black box? Or maybe one of the "Roger Wilco in..." later SQ boxes? Or a brand new design?

They haven't said otherwise. I'm still expecting one. It'll look great next to my SQ1 (spaceship cover), SQ4, and SQ Collection(Vivendi) boxes. I almost bought a replacement Space Quest Collector Series fold top box a while ago but I abstained....my real SQ unicorn is the classic black box, though. It would be awesome if they designed the SpaceVenture box kind of like a Space Quest box. All black with a red and blue logo (maybe a different letterstyle, though). Or even maybe the "Rgoer Wilco in..." style boxes. could say "Ace Hardway in...." instead.

Are you not a backer? They released a Kickstarter update about it. A while ago.

Not the one used on the box.

Lol interesting. I wonder how many of the people involved knew that it was a computer game. And a museum.

So I did some searching for the amazing font used on the first three Space Quest box covers and I found it! FIrst of all I must mention a fantastic variation that Goatmeal created which matches the in-game titles for SQ1 and SQ2 (but which are slightly different from the box, namely the A having a flat upper side instead of a rounded point). http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/624609/space_quest_logo_font He also did a font for the credits text: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/678735/space_quest_credits After some searching he found a close approximation of the text style but as a thinner font: http://www.identifont.com/find?font=digital+sans&q=Go Turns out the font is part of a larger font family pack called Digital Sans by Elsner+Flake. Unfortunately, they're not free and the whole pack is $350. Nobody happens to own this font family pack do they? lol https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/digital-sans-now/ They're not exactly the same, but "Digital Sans Now ML ExtraBold," "Digital Sans Now ML Black," "Digital Sans Now ML Cond ExtraBold," and "Digital Sans Now ML Cond Black" seem to be the closest variations in the pack! The differences between ML and ML Cond seem to be that ML Cond has a little more height. Besides the 'P' not being quite the same, the 'Q' has differences as well. But it's quite close! Here's an example:

Yesterday I finished the last theme for the game! I'm extremely happy that I've got a full game soundtrack under my belt. Plus, for $70+ backers, you can get access to the beta starting tomorrow! It's nice to get that off my shoulders at last. Now I can focus on other projects...:)

Dude. If there are high quality scans of the original background art somewhere that would be the gold mine. Sign me up. In other words, I haven't heard of such a thing. There are box scans but that's it. The original paintings do exist but they are rare and only a couple people have one. And none of them are scanned AFAIK.

It doesn't matter what everyone in the world believes if the artist believes differently. Everyone could be wrong. Personally, I believe they're just artistic details that mean nothing. In another shot he had a bruised thumb, scratches, and a band-aid for no reason at all. It's just details.

There was a time when I thought Dwight would make a good onscreen Roger.

Regarding characters that Roger "already knew" that weren't mentioned before, I don't think he knew them before. I was under the impression that between the introduction cutscene where he was demoted and the point where you start the game and get sent to shore leave on Polysorbate LX, there would have been an indeterminate amount of time (perhaps a couple of months) that allowed Roger to meet and befriend members of his new crew. I don't think we're meant to assume that Roger knew these people before SQ6.
