This isn't for any admin, or people assisting with the project. It's just for Mark and Scott. Personally I know the risk I take when investing in a Kickstarter. I use money that's expendable, and if things don't work out, they don't. I've got a Beta. But I'm unlikely to see the finished product with working saves and bugs repaired. I'm unlikely to see the tier I paid for which includes a big box, DVD of the game, 'special goodies' or a personal thank you note from the SQH (Big fan by the way Troells and bought your SQIV + Galaxy Galaria vinyls) Regardless of last year's November update, it just seems to have surpassed the point of ridiculousness. The beta has promise, genuine laughs, but massively underwhelming in my opinion. Best thing for us all is to get an apology which I personally will happily accept, because as above, I knew the risks. But also I want you guys to be the same heroes I remember as a 13 year old. I won't throw any shade because I understand all the personal sh*t you've been through. But I think you need to give up this burden for good, apologise, then stick it on github for others to complete. Enjoy your lives and your existing wonderful legacy. I'll remain a fan for the rest of my life. Tom

Can't wait to play this, the trailer looks great. Also while I've not really done much since helping fund this kickstarter, I decided to put a post on Twitter and also shared it with the Space Quest Facebook group. I'm pleased to say that there has been two upvoters since I posted! If everyone can get on board with this and share to all the sierra/spacequest related groups forums they can think of I'm sure we can get this project onto Steam!I've added my request to join the group too (Tom Lee has anyway). Would be great to see the Space Quest name resurrected too... Heck I want a new Jim Walls Police Quest and codename: ICEMAN game while I'm at it!Nice work! I really liked the 3D render of Roger!It's taken me a while to get around to listening to these podcasts and I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to the Roland MT 32 version of the Space Quest theme through my head phones while preparing dinner.

Al Lowe retires (again), probably due to issues with Paul Trowe
I can't believe I had no idea about this. I'd been regularly checking the Andromeden Spaceport for Spaceventure news but hadn't been looking anywhere else this year. Of course I had been around during PT's original remarks about Spaceventure and had expressed sadness about the whole affair. I had wondered how Al Lowe could tolerate such behaviour and still be part of Replay. In a way at least I'm glad he and Josh are out of there. However what with the whole conviction of PT and the details surrounding it, the whole thing leaves me very sad for Al and all the Larry fans. I always was of the opinion that the as long as Al and Josh were developing the games I'd be happy. Now it's almost tragic that the rights to further Larry games are once again in the wrong hands. I feel like a total Muppet for posting this on twitter in March. No wonder there was no response :( https://twitter.com/tomlee80/status/442284718890160128

The Larry series holds a place in my heart just as much as the Space Quest series and the Larry 2 remake would have been the most interesting to me as it blew my mind back in '89 when I fired it up on my dual 3.5 drive, CGA Graphics, Olivetti PC1. The opening location of LA with plush pavements illustrated in generous heavy shades of red, boutique stores and TV studios leapfrogged LSL1 in design. I don't care much for the likes of PT now. I do care about Al and Josh my favourite Frontier Pharmacists and I do care about who has the rights to make Larry games. Who has the power to terminate Replay's license for further Leisure Suit Larry releases? Activision? Can we petition them asking that we would not contribute to any further Kickstarters as long as PT is involved?Give it a couple more months and I'm sure by then we'll have some more details on the Spaceventure. Maybe even a nice new teaser trailer around Xmas?Sounds like fun this. I've not had a chance to "Google Hangout" yet! I like the Skate-O-Rama idea, fastest circuit back to the time pod wins a prize!So it appears that when Lowe Trowe & Co. visited the Adventure Mob offices in Tel Aviv last month they weren't totally impressed. I must admit I feel a bit sorry for Adventure Mob, but have faith in Al Lowe making the right choice. The controversy with this is that the screens and animations that were previewed for Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded were all created by Adventure Mob. Lets hope that fans don't feel too short changed by this sudden U Turn from replay. This new developer sounds pretty sh*t hot though in comparison to Adventure Mob so I'm sure they'll come up with something pretty special with the 600K raised. I hope so because I'm a backer!!! Here's a link to the story from venture beat... P.S. Read Michael Schwartz' comment....(hmmm :huh: ) http://venturebeat.c...oper-exclusive/
