In news I’ve been waiting to hear since this whole Kickstarter thing got going, original Space Quest creators Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy – AKA the “Two Guys from Andromeda” – have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new original adventure game. If I squeed any harder, I’d probably have to change my thermal underpants.
The game, dubbed “SpaceVenture” will be launched for PC, Mac, Linux, iPad, and Android devices, and is expected to launch in February 2013. Oh, and they’ve ALSO got Ellen McLain, the voice talent behind Portal’s GLaDOS, on the team. SPAAAAAACE!
Promised features include:
- A sci-fi adventure from Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe working happily together as a team once again.
- Hilarious death sequences
- Tons of the fresh (and moldy) pop-culture references
- Fun and unique humor
- Art design and direction by Mark
- Dialogue that will make you blow nostril Tang, written by Scott along with Mark
- Narration of all this by Gary Owens and the voice acting of other characters by the above mentioned quality industry voice talent
- Game music that will hopefully give you chills and wedge in your main orb for the rest of your natural Earth life and make you wish you lived inside your computer!
- A game that you will feel comfortable playing with your children, but with some entertainment that will safely appeal only to the adult psyche
The project has already banked over $64,00 of the $500,000 target in its first day, with more than 1,000 backers behind it.
