PLEASE READ EVERYONE BEFORE PLAYING: First off, we apologize that this has taken so long. There is a mixture of reasons why this was put out late, but one of the major reasons was due to us trying to focus on the real game, SpaceVenture! :) There are some neat features we think you'll enjoy in the final release of our living concept art sketch.

1. 2D rendered Ace Hardway instead of the previous generic avatar character.
2. Text based parser for parts of the sketch.
3. Voice Recognition in the Chrome web browser for parts of the Sketch

Please understand that these were ideas we implemented to make things a bit more fun, but also test the waters on certain things. Even though this phase came out late, we didn't have time to put major focus on the text parser or voice recognition so there are a lot of text/voice commands that aren't supported. This was merely something for us to test and see what worked and what didn't. We'd also like to thank Q42 for all of their hard work and effort in helping these living concept arts come to fruition!

We are especially pleased to announce that today SpaceVenture has reached the first stretch goal of $550,000! This means German, French, and Spanish translations will be available for the game. Thank you to everyone who has contributed.

And there's still time left to contribute! Visit our home page to pledge if you haven't already, or go to svrewards.com/upgrade to upgrade your existing pledge!

We have not ruled out getting the amazing Patrick Warburton of course, but in order to get the Cluck trailers out quickly, Mike Schiff stepped up to the plate and did some awesome impressions for us!  

A fan, Rudy Marchant is offering up something for everyone to take part in. With less than 2 days to go before the Kickstarter deadline and with more than 90% of the goal reached, pledger Rudy Marchant gives the fans even more reason to contribute to the cause! He will give away three ultra-rare highly-collectible Sierra games to three randomly picked fans who pledged $30 or more! We are talking about games which are so rare and old, that they were still published by On-Line Systems, the official name of Sierra before it even became Sierra On-Line in late 1981! Good luck finding these... But here they are, for FREE! When we asked Rudy why he would give these collection treasures away, he replied "Don't worry about it. I may find them again some day, but seeing you guys return is a once in a lifetime thing, so there is no comparison in my opinion." (more…)
