Looks fantastic Jeff. As with many other people, RotS was the first adventure game that I played and I had the additional enjoyment of playing it with my 7 year old son at the time. We had great fun with it then and have both developed into serious gameplayers since. RotS will always be a special game to us. We would be only too happy to back you in this endeavour. Thank you. smile


Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

But as I haven't had time to read everything that's been posted about the project everywhere and do, whenever possible, like to burn downloads to disk, may I ask if the download will be DRM Free ??

Thank you, Mad, for your support! And that's a great question - YES, Riddle 3D will be DRM free. You may freely make as many copies for yourself as you wish. The pirates will steal either way. All of our games have been pirated since the beginning. We're thinking of a creative warning in the beginning of the game for those who might be tempted to steal the game. wink But it will not be protected by DRM.

Thanks for your prompt reply, Jeff, and for your confirmation that the game will be DRM Free .. although I DO only want to make ONE copy !! laugh

[And that only so that I don't need to keep the download permanently on my machine.]

All the best with the Kickstarting luck

I hope you won't do that. As you said yourself, DRM has never stopped any real pirates -- and neither would accusing everyone who plays your game of piracy. It will only start the game on a sour note. It will make some people sad to be reminded that there are people who are enjoying the fruits of your labor without helping to support you. It will insult those people who interpret the warning as an unfounded accusation. And it won't stop any real pirates.

Oops, sorry. I didn't mean we would be accusing anyone. We did something similar in the very beginning: thanking those who had supported us and encouraging those who might not have to consider supporting the creators of these games (and any other type of creative endeavor). Anyway, I didn't mean any offense by it. Thanks for the feedback, Jenny smile

I sure hope those on the sidelines decide to back this game, because I really would like to explore an updated ROTS in full 3D!

I really hope more people jump on the bandwagon. Only a little over $4,000 has been raised with only 16 days to go.

Truly a great game and it would be such a shame if it missed its mark.

While all of your support has been crucial and much appreciated, we were not getting the numbers we needed to fund... that is until a few hours ago when Rand of CYAN mentioned to their backers to check out our project. Since then, we've seen a rapid increase in backers - new at 125 backers and almost to $6,000 in just a few hours this afternoon. smile Hope it continues this way and we can fund.

We are so grateful for all of you, and the new backers, and of course for the mention by CYAN. This has given us a renewed hope wink

Btw, if you haven't yet, I posted a new chronology trailer - it's similar to what was in the original but much better and more compelling. And we have been researching the dates since the original and have updated to be closer to some new evidence we found literally days ago - we are SO excited about this new information. It will be a major focus of the new release.

The NEW trailer is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jefftobler/riddle-of-the-sphinx-an-egyptian-adventure-in-real

Blessings,

Jeff

Interrogator: [True or false?] All mangoes are golden. Nothing golden is cheap. Conclusion - all mangoes are cheap.
