More news here: Kickstarter in our future?!?!?
So, we have news! We've just signed a deal that would allow us to sell The 13th Doll as a retail game! We'll be able to sell the game for PC, Mac, etc, and potentially on platforms like Steam, GOG, console, etc.
Additionally, it allows us to cast Robert Hirschboeck as Stauf in the game! (Don't get TOO excited about that yet tho, as we have yet to contact him and put that part together. It's still great to have options.)
As always, this game remains a game that is built BY fans and FOR fans, and the licensing deal does not change that. This is by no means an official 7th Guest game, or a sequel of any kind - it's still a fangame, the way it should be smile emoticon
So, this deal is contingent on us finding funding to finish the game - we're seeking to raise enough for us to focus on the game full time, and to raise the bar on some things we'd planned, but scrapped for technical or logistic reasons.
So, in the coming weeks, we'll be planning crowdfunding - probably a kickstarter. We need everyone to help us spread the word! We have 600 members here, and we hope to add many more to make the ks successful!
For the record, we owe a lot of gratitude to the team at Trilobyte! Without them, this deal would not have been possible. They have been very courteous to The 13th Doll over the years, and never has it been more apparent than now! That said, I know some of the people in this group have been a bit.... cynical towards them. At this time tho, our group can't be happier, and I ask that you not speak negatively about them.
This is a time to celebrate! This is a time for hope! This is a time for new possibilities, and a time that allows us to make the game that we want to make, something that's never been possible until now! The journey here has been long, strange, and difficult, and we're very grateful that you're still with us. As always, I sincerely thank you for hanging in with us.
Don't feed the Trolls

It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Hi all, Our lead developer Ryan posted this video interview on our Facebook page last night. It is footage we will be using for the coming Kickstarter campaign, which we are hoping to start on July 19th! This is the "long cut" of the interview. Obviously a much shorter cut will be used as the main video on the KS page. However, I thought I would re-post this here because it gives a lot of background detail on how things got started, which I know everyone here would appreciate. It is 10+ years of history boiled down to 11+ minutes of footage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA4CKZlDXYUWe'll post more information about the Kickstarter once it is available! -Chris The 13th Doll Team An update: We may push the Kickstarter launch back a week so we can have enough time to do things right. It takes a lot of effort to put a KS together and the team wants to be sure to have enough time to put all the ducks in order.

Official Kickstarter date is now going to be July 27th! We'll be keeping everyone updated if anything changes. The reason for the change was simply to give us more time to get everything prepped.

We're getting excited doing all the prep work for the KS campaign. It's been a TON of work but, well worth every moment! The days are counting down! We are both excited and panicked about the KS launch on Monday. There has been so much work that has gone into the game over the years, and to think it is all coming down to this crazy moment in time. We have officially launched our Kickstarter. Ana was nice enough to give us a dedicated sticky post: http://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1025199#Post1025199
