Re: Ambermoon

Oh, sorry there wasn't any error message, it just died in the second 3D dungeon I found, but might have been from messing with the memory values to boost stats :)

Ambermoon

Just saw that the old RPG Ambermoon (only on Amiga) is being remade for Windows & Linux, check it here: https://github.com/Pyrdacor/Ambermoon.net

I played a bit and it runs quite well, though I did get a crash to desktop after about half an hour.

The Art of Point-and-Click Adventure Games

Doesn't seem to have come up before, but since it just arrived on my doorstep, The Art of Point-and-Click Adventure Games is a beautiful retrospective with gorgeous pictures. I'm sure the words are good too, but I haven't gotten that far :) https://discourse-cdn-sjc2.com/standard14/uploads/thimblewe...

Inherit the Earth: Sand and Shadows Kickstarter

It looks like they are trying again, I hope they manage it this time, but $160k is a significant amount for a lesser known adventure.

Edit: A link would be handy :)

New claymation game by the Neverhood guys (kickstarter)

Yet another nifty Kickstarter point & click project.
The Neverhood was awesome, Armikrog should also be.

Dreamfall Chapters (The Longest Journey) Kickstarter

I am surprised noone has mentioned it yet, and it's got ~$750,000 in the handful of days it's been up.

Kickstarter Link

Since TLJ is arguably (go on, argue) the best adventure ever, I'm excited for this one.

I'll have to find and play the first one ASAP so I can justify supporting #2

Yeah, that got me to contribute; at first it looked like yet another RPG Maker game and I am not a fan of that look anymore.

Yet another Adventure Kickstarter (Reincarnation)

I'm sure some of you have been going a little nuts with Kickstarter recently as have I (thanks to Tim Schafer), here's another little one: Reincarnation: The Root of All Evil Which is based on the series of flash games on Newgrounds http://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/137159/posts/238753/image-1221...
