Ooo, Jane posted another big update--confirming that they WILL be doing TWO games in the first year after all! Exciting!

That's great!

Thanks, Katie! I read that on Jane Jensen's Kickstarter page as well. So excited and intrigued as to what Mystery Game X could be.

EDIT: I upped my pledge to $100.00. I hope my wallet doesn't complain too much.

She said we'd be excited about second game. That mean Gabriel Knight 4?

It's very mysterious! Probably not, but we really don't know anything yet.

We made it!! The goal had been reached!!!

Nope, it hasn't. The goal is 1 million :-)

It's intriguing to watch the sudden acceleration in numbers of backers. Is anybody taking notes about this phenomenon?

BTW -- MIT Technology Review has featured crowdfunding as one of the top 10 emerging technologies.

Becky, one of the main factors was Update 22 here:

That, as well as Jane announcing a second game being made. + Panic :-)

Updated my pledge to $50. Want ebooks. And there is always slight chance Mystery X is GK (though I don't think so now because of #4 on "Simple Truths...")

The rights to those games don't belong to her so I assume the Gabriel Knight name doesn't either and it would be extremely odd to have Joe Smith as the main character's name while he was GK in every other particular. I'd say the odds of it being another GK game are about zero.

I am curious to know what you guys think another GK would be about since she seems to have wrapped it up with a thump in GK3.

Gil.

Joe Smith?

Gabriel has to be reunited with Grace.

Why would Grace want to reunite with a guy who treats her like she doesn't have a brain? (Never mind, I know opposites attract.)

I said Joe Smith as an example. JJ can't use the Gabriel Knight name, not unless she has the rights to it.

Gil.

I'm confused! According to the kickstarter page JJ's goal was $300,000 & it stands at $304,172 with 12 days to go? Where does the 1 million come from?

If Big Finish Games (Chris Jones and Aaron Conners) could buy back the rights to Tex Murphy seems likely Pinkerton Road could get the rights to Gabriel Knight. (Now if The Two Guy From Andromeda could just get Space Quest back)
