Waiting for the next Living Concept Art, that is. Mark's tweeted about the cool new animations, Scott's said that they're working on it and it's coming soon.... I dunno, I was expecting it to be out by now. I'm half antsy because I want to play it (of course) but half because I think it would seriously help any PayPal donations and get us some of those sweet stretch goals.

 

At the same time I realise the last few days of the campaign were completely nuts so it makes sense for it to be late and I don't want them to rush it if it isn't what they want to release... GAH! YOU ARE TEARIN' ME APART MARK AN SCOTT!

 

Actually, I think it's the whole campaign has got me over excited. I'm so nostalgic over Space Quest. Every KS that came along I was thinking "Oh, yeah, it's okay. But wouldn't it be awesome if there was a SPACE QUEST Kickstarter?" I literally haven't been this excited over anything since Christmases when I was ten and under. It's MADNESS.

 

Anyway, I am reeeeally looking forward to LCA5. Erm, which I guess isn't a big revelation...

It's called coming down off a high ;-)

I've channeled all that excess post-Kickstarter energy into revisiting adventure games I haven't played in ages (or at all, for that matter). So far, my selection has included Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkess, Sam and Max Hit the Road, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Next up is the iOS version of Broken Sword.

 

It's like methadone to replace my addiction to checking the Kickstarter numbers every three minutes for a month straight. ;)

I'm with Decaffeinated Jedi. I've been spending a lot of my free time replaying old adventure games, particularly the old Sierra games. With all of these awesome KS campaigns going on I've been waxing nostalgic lately.

 

I'm also still watching Quest for Infamy, HeXit, Lilly Looking Through, Reincarnation, and Sam Suede...all of which I've backed and if you haven't already I highly recommend that you check them out.

Hey Jared! Can't blame you for being restless, I include myself in that category. All I can say is there is quite a few really cool new features being added. This is indeed to help garner help in our stretch goals. While the programming is being done, Scott and Mark have been discussing lots of things along the way. We've had to make decisions on expanding the team members and all the other things you can imagine that is involved here. But most importantly, this will be the last of the Living Concept Arts of the two guys on the Island, so we're trying to make it extra special. And in saying that, hopefully gain more excitement from the adventure gaming press :)

Uhg, I hate sounding to vague and I hope that wasn't too bad. Thanks so much for taking the time for posting though, we appreciate all the feedback.

Looking forward to it, Chris!

I feel like an astrochicken without a head whilst waiting for the next living prototype!!! :)

You format your posts like one as well ;)

 

Sorry, that one was too easy. I can totally relate to how you feel!

Indeed! I'm in the same boat with you all.

Chris, I'd settle for a podcast or video, or another commissioned comic, honestly (I really loved those, actually). I'd actually be really happy to see another commissioned comic if you can swing it, and if it doesn't hurt the budget...

 

At least to tide me over until LCA5 :)

I also would enjoy more comics.

Uhg, I hate sounding to vague and I hope that wasn't too bad.

 

Not at all, man. In fact it's great to get an official word on it. I'm really looking forward to it since so much work has gone into it now.

Yeah, that probably is a good idea. There's quite a big number of adventure games I have bought but not played (Book of Unwritten Tales, Gray Matter, New Beginning...) played but not finished (Fate of Atlantis, Machinarium, The Dig, Space Quest 6 *gasp*) and then others I just plain haven't played and don't own (Gabriel Knight, Loom, nearly all the Quests of Glory)

 

I have had a bit of nostalgia though - playing through the MI2 Special Edition. And SQ: Incinerations was so good it gave me a big nostalgia kick for the whole genre..

I had fun setting up an MT-32 emulator (munt) recently. Might post a guide later on...

I think Two Guys should start demanding a Pledge Quest sequel, to get people working on something productive ;)

It's too soon to go into much detail, but I have a feeling we'll see Pledge Quest's Bea back in action sooner or later.

I'm excited for it too :) I just finished a playthrough of Space Quest 1 EGA, and I am currently playing Runaway 3. I know, Runaway 3 isn't sierra or old school, but I'm in the mood for adventure gaming :)

Will this be prototype #5?

mwardie, you've been warned repeatedly not to ask the same question over and over. I'm suspending your account for 15 days. Try to be more patient, we're all itching for updates. ;)

PCJ - he don' play dat shi'.

Anyone else got a problem?!

So... it sounds like everyone is going just fine in passing the time until a new SpaceVenture update comes along!

 

For me I am playing through Psyconauts for the first time.

UPDATE!!!

mmmmmm exclusive backer content.....
