I am pleasantly surprised it reached it's goal. I will admit, I was worried it wouldn't. It seems everyone just piled in the last couple of days. :)

Once again I'm puzzled by how I've managed to miss this so long. Just gave, even though it's made it (stretch goals? :P) because I felt I should give something back to this great community. Especially with all the cash I've been throwing at the has-beens on Kickstarter :P

Best of luck with it all, m0ds.

  Wow  8-0 There are now two Rulers of Kinky Island!  The Kinky donaters are coming out of the woodwork in the home stretch.

I wonder if those two people are actuaslly being very shrewd, with the whole 2% revenue offer. If the game does well, then that could even turn into a little profit.  Better than buying stock in Facebook, anyway.

Thanks for putting something in, in the last few hours :) Done, dusted... very happy... off to the Caribbean now, see you all in a couple of years! ;)

Ha! Well one of the Rulers I did check with to make sure they hadn't slipped and added a 0 to their pledge by accident! The other is my good friend here in my hometown. I think my ranting to him that people in our local vicinity will ask me week in week out what I'm up too but never pay any actual interest when I have something to show made him go for a pledge. And I know it wasn't the 2% share that interested him either, it was the t-shirt. And the t-shirt has kind of strangely ALWAYS been the thing people want ;) He seems to think it will make a great conversation starter, hehe - and of course, he can boast 'It's a game I produced' ;)

But all these pledges will help, thanks.. Jubilee weekend now though, got so much on, very limited PC/internet time over the next few days but after that, well, KI becomes a 24/7 job, thanks to your kind help! :)

A quick update to say I've been working on it, and talk a little bit about it in a project showcase kind of video that I quickly made (and was hoping to stick in the release something thread but missed it)

CamStudio, which still doesn't like videos longer than 5 or 6 mins, was not capturing the game at fullscreen and sadly the stretched edition looks nasty via youtube, but you get the jist of it. Limited time also means I don't go into much detail about anything, but it certainly got my adrenaline pumping making the vid, hehe. I'll make another one in a month's time and report on progress again & hopefully get better in-game footage next time :)

Thanks for the update Mark! Kinky Island is looking great, despite the video quality I can't wait to get my sweaty palms all over it.

Ben Jordan - the editing is really tight! I liked the shot where he finds 'the occult establishment'.

Did i hear the humble scratch of a clipper flint? What next, bong hits? :=

Cheers Nathan and thanks for your "MIDI" 'like' the other day ;D

Over 6 months and no update here, sorry about that! But I wanted to say production is going pretty well. I've knuckled down over the last few weeks now that Xmas/new year/birthday period is well and truly ended. I've got 80% of the completed assets into the game, going to finish that off in the next week and then begin implementing the story.

Have not touched AGS since December 2011, so it's feeling good to be doing some game dev again :) And even getting to grips with 3.2.1 ;)

Also thanks for the interest shown at AdvX and very sorry I didn't show/really promote the game there nor FoY, but at the next show I hope to rectify that as I'd like to do as much Screen 7-ing as AdventureX team-ing and hungover-ing.

Well, that should cover any web searches for a while after the recent exposure on PC Gamer.com. Also thanks for the coverage gnome. And a Bulgarian blogger. Appreciate it! See you again in a few months  (laugh)

I was just poking around for the latest Kinky Island news, thanks!  Looking forward to more screenshots, brief beta-news, etc...
