Hey guys!

Remember The Journey Down? The afro-noir adventure game hailed for so successfully ripping off Grim Fandango? Well, the third and final chapter is in the making and coming along beautifully! We'll be launching a kickstarter in october to help wrap up funding for the last leg of development and I figured I'd be a complete dolt if I didn't make a thread about that here. So, from now on, expect project updates right here!

As you can probably tell, the setting has shifted somewhat. It's no longer film noir, but rather an eighties/nineties action move type mood. And we're LOVING working with it.

If anyone's curious, here's a new interview I did at gamescom about our current state:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAtGAHfRedw

The TJD3 soundtrack is being produced by Jamie Salisburry, the insanely talented guy who took over after my good friend Simon passed. The soundtrack too, features a substantially different mood than the previous games, but don't worry, there will be saxophone. There will always be saxophone in TJD!

And here's a sneak peek at some of the new and old characters featured in TJD3:

Expect more shiny pics as we progress in working with our kickstarter campaign materal! And please don't be shy with your feedback.

Thanks again.

Great stuff Theo, hope all goes well with funding and development.

PS - I still want Kito to be a playable character and will bug you about it for years to come if it doesn't happen! razz

Cathy1: Thanks, Cathy! Yes it's absolutely still a point and click. Gameplay will be very similar to the previous chapters!

CaptainD: Sooner or later it's bound to happen, isn't it? laugh THanks for the support, man! Hope to see you again at next adventurex!

We've been spending the past few weeks working on the pitch video, and in doing so, I've been working on a new street scene from TJD3 that will feature briefly in the video. Here's a dirty work in progress shot from the Lightwave viewport. laugh

Thanks Ana!

So, I've put some more work into the downtown scene! It's not ready but certainly getting there. Just wait until you get to see this animated! (It will be in the kickstarter pitch video!) (And do let me know if it's too dark, or something. difficult knowing, I've only seen it on my own monitor!) Thanks.

Click here to see the updated downtown scene

The kickstarter will launch on October 1st and we're currently trying to get people to spread the word via thunderclap. If you wanna donate a tweet or fb share there, I'd be incredibly grateful. It's really painless and there's no signup required.

Seeing we have virtually no money for getting exposure we're really dependent on friends and fans to help us reach out with the campaign, thunderclap is great for that!

Huge thanks!

I'll be supporting the Kickstarter but I am not on any social media like FB and I don't know anybody else who plays games.

I tried to put a "frownie" here but it is not taking it for some reason.
