Tex Murphy fans rejoice, the Project Fedora Kickstarter campaign is now under way! You can visit the kickstarter page here. You can view the Official Project Fedora website here. You can view the video here. Project Fedora” will continue the amazing adventures of Tex Murphy, the down-on-his-luck P.I. in post-apocalyptic San Francisco. This long-awaited game will be the sixth in the adventure series, which includes the award-winning games Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive and Overseer.
Project Fedora will reunite creators Chris Jones and Aaron Conners and feature their trademarks of rich interactive storytelling and immersive gameplay. The new game will incorporate the very best of the classic Tex Murphy elements - sci-fi, film noir, witty dialogue, great characters, beautifully integrated FMV, and a deep, engaging story - but it will also enhance the experience of the former games with stunning new graphics, a sleek new interface, and other updates.
The detective-style gameplay takes place in a fully 3D world where you search for clues, solve puzzles, investigate crimes, and question witnesses and suspects. While the gameplay will be fun and challenging, you'll never get stuck with the free, built-in hint system.
One of Project Fedora's most exciting features is how the game and story can unfold in different ways. As you play, your actions and choices will change events, leading to new story elements and gameplay. This "narrative pathing" not only allows you to customize your experience, it will provide unique replayability, as the game will have at three or more story paths leading to multiple endings.
Long-time Tex fans may be curious if the new storyline will pick up where Overseer (and its infamous cliffhanger) left off. The short answer is YES, but this game will be just as enjoyable for people who have never played the earlier games. While we can't give too many details yet, just be prepared for an incredible opening sequence!
Happy Gaming! Ana

Well I contributed and asked them a question as well and just got an answer. The question may have been answered elsewhere but I asked it anyway.
I asked if this new Tex game would be FMV like the previous ones and my answer was a positive yes so I say yay!!!!!!!!!!

Merging would put the official announcement in the middle of the thread. Ana has directed everyone from the older thread to post here. I was about to lock the older thread when it turned up locked already. Thanks plumgas.

Okay! I'll say it again.  That promo video was absolutely the best I've seen. They sure talked me into backing. It was hysterically funny and if the game is anything like that, I'm going to love it! Gil.

Just to bump this up, Tex is still in need of support! Twenty eight days to go and still a hefty amount left to make the goal. You want a great game, this is your best chance to see one made.  Go for it! And if you still haven't seen the best video promo ever, here it is! Gil.

The thread is stickied to the top of the forum, there is no need to bump it. All the news is worthy.

I could be wrong but I believe that the Update #5 video was made by a fan and not indicative of the game that will be made.

You may be right. If so, they should hire him. <g> It seems to be right in line with the original video, though, so I still expect great things.

I won't care if we get the video quality of the originals !! Having the "real" Tex back is more important to me
