This is great - its like a mini renaissance of the all time greatest game makers happening at the moment.

SQ 3+4+5 are still my favorite games, really looking forward to what they put out.
Making a game - this should be easy......?

You beat me to it, pcj.  Just saw this on Gameboomers.
Shall we take bets on how long it takes them to start a Kickstarter campaign?

Those past few month have been incredible!

All that's missing is Ken&Roberta coming up with a new game...

This has thrown me for a loop, because from the Replay Games talks this seemed explicitly unlikely to happen. They were quite definite that if there was a new Space Quest Mark Crowe wouldn't be involved... what a twist!

And what's more THEY ALREADY HAVE GARY OWENS! YES!

I'm irrationally paranoid that maybe The Two Guys are going off another calendar and are pulling an April Fool's or something. This is too awesome to be true!

They've started their Kickstarter! They've got some nice voice actors involved too. Check it out at http://www.tgakick.com!

Man, remember us when you're sitting in your huge office at the Sierra2 headquarters being illustrative, important, influentual and the "putting letters in ascending alphabetical order after the letter I and using those two letters two choose which word I am going to describe the future Eggie" pattern breaks down there unless I am willing to stoop to "ionian" "ionic" or "ionized" all of which would make me sound like a nerd. I heard a dog burp the other day and it sounded human. At some point this post had a point.

Um... hooray for more adventures games. This post is on topic.

The only thing missing from that cast list is Nolan North. I wasn't aware that you were allowed to make a talkie these days without Nolan North. I thought that was a given.

Good to see a few of the Valve stalwarts there. I hope they get John Patrick Lowrie to voice the protaganist, and make him a fake australian.

Roger Dinkum and The Bloody Fruit Shop Owners?


EDIT: The Two Guys have posted a special reunion video on the latest update. I really dig it. Took me back to their days of filming silly "Behind the Scenes" stuff with Sierra..

As of now, $181,672 with 25 days to go. Can we get this to happen? I hope so.

Um... hooray for more adventures games. This post is on topic.

A ranch boy is gifted with a colt, grows to love him but the colt escapes, with tragic results. The action begins when Mr. Tiflin gives his son Jody a red pony colt. After falling asleep, Jody dreams of increasingly powerful winds and wakes up to see that the pony is gone. Jody is told by his father that he will be allowed to ride the horse by Thanksgiving. In the night, Jody becomes sleepy in spite of his constant worry and drifts off to sleep, forgetting about the open barn door. After several weeks of training, Jody gets bored. He looks with longing at the great mountains, wishing he could explore them. The morning after his arrival, Carl complains about Grandfather's stories at the breakfast table. The story overall deals with ideas regarding the infallibilities of adults and the entrance into manhood.

P.S.: Andromeda, isn't that some sort of galaxy, or a planet or at least some spiral nebula in outer space (outer space defining every space which is not earth)? Are those guys really aliens?
I, object.

Kaputtnik, Andromeda is the closest galaxy to ours :)

On topic: This is great news, PCJ (and an almost Stupot!)! This is really exciting to hear this.

I'm surprised this hasne't got more discussion here (Although I haven't been here for years so I'm a bit out of the loop). We need support at the Kickstarter page! We seem to have run out of steam on our promotion efforts  :sad:. Prototype 2 is due out soon (it was delayed to to health reasons) so hopefully things will pick up a bit. It will be a great loss to the adventure game community if we don't get this campaign funded.

Ah, releasing prototypes already?
For some reason I thought he was talking about Prototype 2, the game. Silly me!
