SciFi & Adventure Game Fans,

The Two Guys from Andromeda (authors of the renowned Space Quest series) are back together and better than ever!!!

They already have some great pros from the filming/gaming industry onboard, including Gary Owens himself, from the original series! Be sure to watch the video at the kickstarter website.

There is also an official website for the new game: http://guysfromandromeda.com/

The kickstarter website can be accessed here.

Happy Gaming!

Thanks Ana! It looks like it's off to a good start. I liked seeing the faces behind the famous voiceovers in the video.

I am always surprised to see that the people behind the voices never look like I expect them to.

Does the one actor feel safe at night? He's married to someone who can say: "This is your fault. I'm going to kill you. And all the cake is gone. You don't even care, do you?" with particular relish and authenticity!

Thanks for the link, Ana. Glad to see they're doing so well already.

Have to wait and see if I can actually afford to contribute, though. I ended up pledging $100 to Jane Jensen, which is more than I intended to spend, but the rewards were just too good. I suppose I'll put $15 in when I have a better idea of what my budget looks like in June. Wish it could be more, though.

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Thanks Ana for the link

And the first demo/prototype is now out. I recommend you guys go give it a test-flight.

Note: There has been some stigma regarding the use of html5 to program the game, but keep in mind this is a work in progress, and quite exciting as what the Two Guys have in store is obviously a brand new and novel idea. You will see this demo develop according to fan feedback once the next demo can be released.

You can also get some more context of what seems to have inspired the use of html5 for the game by visiting the below link:

Thanks Johnathon!

Hey guys!

Just wanted to clarify/reassure: regarding the composition of the final product, Scott and Mark are taking an out-of-the-box approach with this, which is pretty exciting (they still have a solid vision of what they want to do, but they're experimenting quite a bit with some possible fan interaction (examples would be the death sequence voting and such). More importantly (I presume), for many of you: Only the prototypes/demos are/were being programmed in html5. A final decision for the coding of the finished game has not been decided. Regardless of which, the choice will provide for crisp, smooth gameplay (Scott and Mark have assured), AND they have clearly promised unique handdrawn background art, animations, and a fantastic multimedia experience as we have come to expect from any Space Quest Game.

The final game will be completely independent/standalone, bootable from your disk and NOT require Chrome nor any other browser.

Exciting news: For those of you who haven't heard the "closing comments" recording that appeared on guysfromandromeda.com after playing through the first prototype...



ALSO: Stayed tuned: I estimate the 2nd demo will be released in approximately 2 days

Thanks Johnathon!
