Jane Jensen announces Pinkerton Road & Kickstarter!
« on: April 04, 2012, 08:16:50 AM »
The countdown is over, and here's the news: Jane Jensen is opening her own studio!!!

Pinkerton Road has launched a new website and a Kickstarter, as well as their unique "Community Supported Gaming" model. The CSG model means you get to be a "member" who gets updates, inside looks, copies of the games released in that year, and more, and right now, you even to get vote on what game gets made first!

Three games are up for the vote: Gray Matter 2, and two news games, one called Moebius and one called Anglophile Adventure

Check out the website and Kickstarter to more info (including a video featuring Raleigh Holmes, the voice of Erica Reed!), and to pledge to support the new studio!

(Also watch the video for fun shout-outs to Jane's previous games!)

Well I don't know about you, but I'm wicked excited!!

Considering we helped her put together bits of it...

Someone asked about the GK voice saying the Pinkerton Road line at the end of GK3. Here's a hint, he has also worn a blue cap :)

I hope some of the money I spent goes toward the medical bills of that poor cameraman at the end of the video.

Yes you've just been suffer'd.  It means an answer to your question exists but we're not telling just yet.

Oo, does that mean we can start dyeing it fun colors? Like bright blue? :D

I do hope the Gabriel Knight license/name can get obtained.  It is her creation, it belongs there and it would be good to see another game in the franchise.

And today, more details on the Anglophile Adventure! Which mentions ghosts--I knew it would involve something supernatural!

And the voting on choosing the game concept that they'll go with first has been moved and will start next week. w00t!

We're starting a Kickstarter to raise money to pay for Cesar's Hair Dye and/or Rogaine supply that he may need in the future.

Makes games - keep the hair.  Support Cesar.

It may be necessary!

In other news, Jane's broken 100K!
