Reminds me of the first maniac mansion in those screens.

And they nearly got their basic funding after just some days

Now for the stretch goals...

Hoping for an AmigaOS4 stretch goal?

Won't happen, Amiga is dead for the games industry.

I just like the style of the game and the humor of it's creators a lot

Still needs some more for voice acting at 625,000%, though.

Great to see that he got Boris Schneider at 425,000$, the inventor of video game translations for the translation, which is almost reached already.

Wrong. $450,001.

Not sure if they will reach that goal.
I don't know anything about game development, but maybe they should have switched the IOS/Android and the speech tier (then again, it's probably much more costly to create speech than a port!?)

Is promoting the kickstarter on the ScummVM front page an option?

Not sure, but i don't think so.
The game to be done is nice with lovable retro feeling, but other than being a point&click adventure it hasn't very much in common with ScummVM.

Now if there were a stretch goal to make the source available for the ScummVM devs to implement an engine...

*dreaming*

You're right. There were no promotions for the Double Fine Adventure and the likes, so why should there be one for TP.

I noticed they silently changed the talkie goal to $525.000, and we are not far from that.
Would be a pity if they don't reach that.

They explained the reasoning behind that in Update #9.
