dianne, I contacted the developer and he'd like to know if are you getting any error messages? In regards to the newsletter, it could be an ad blocker or anti-virus preventing you from doing it. If you would like, you can send me your email address via PM and I'll enter it for you. Ana

oldbroad, on the campaign it clearly stated that voice acting was a stretch goal if it hit 40K. They didn't get that far.

Hey guys, we will support voices in any way and we've already found many (semi-professionell) voice actors. But in order to provide more "professionell" voices we need more budget. Every single Dollar and every pre-order via paypal helps. All the Best, Marvel

Agreed, voices aren't necessary for first person games which looking at the video this one may not be. My experience is that with third person games there is a lot of talking and NPC character interaction that without voices will be texted in voice bubbles or at the bottom of the screen in which case you end up not "playing" a game but "reading" it. Non-professional voice acting is better than no voices at all IMO. So what game is this, first or third person?

Marvel can you slow down the text? Or make it a click to proceed?

Sounds like voices to me? And if there are no voices in the finished game, just that bar scene where the bartender is telling the story of the Money Pit was a lot to read. I agree with Miss Winfrey in that if there are no voices one could not keep up with the speed of that text especially if you aren't a fast reader. I do like the idea of "click to proceed" text as Winfrey suggests. Thanks for responding Marvel

I just watched the game play video - and it had text AND voice. And both seemed fine to me. But am I to understand now that the finished product will not be "voiced" ??

 I am not so sure he has. So what you are saying is the game will have voices but you will be using "semi-professional" voice actors and any additional funds would be for replacing the semi-professional actors with professional ones? And if so will there be an option to not show the text if the voices are on?

Yes, that is what he's saying Greyfuss. As to the option to turn off the text, I do not know.

Thanks for the clarification Sheriff I was just going by Marvels comments from Feb 24th that started this whole voices discussion where it looked like voices would not be added unless more funds could be acquired. We are still providing a way for others to support Oak Island on our website via paypal, this will enable us to add voice acting, further improvements and hopefully more content. You will find a selection of preorders on the following homepage www.oakisland-game.com. Please tell your friends and support us here. I am anxious to play this game as I have been into the 200 year old mystery that is Oak Island for quite some time.

I got the email - as a Kickstarter backer.
But surely ALL backers should get one, irrespective of how the backing was financed ??

Moving a Big Boulder View screen here. Ohhhh well,... we are aware that we've released our last update more than 3 months ago, but there was a good reason for the delay: We were working hard on something "really big". Indeed - a big and heavy boulder was lying in our way and it took us an incredible amount of time and concentration to move this [blip]. As soon as we got this thing off the tracks, our head was free to focus on the next update. So, here it is! Finally! Read more...

We all get crushed by the wheel of time. And in the far future new generations find traces of us - bones, remains of clothes, or written memories. We're all becoming "Fragments of Time".

for the info Ana. 
Also doesn't mean I wouldn't have supported it (as I know my post probably sounded).
