[Kickstarter] Thimbleweed Park: A New Classic Point & Click Adventure!

Zitat

The Talkies™ stretch goal was unlocked yesterday, but I was out running errands at IKEA so I didn't get to update immediately after. There was an incident where one line formed for two checkout registers, then someone said, “Hey, I’m going to start a second line” and then people in the long double line started to get upset, and I thought a fight was going to break out. Happy Holidays and Peace on Earth.
What does this have to do with Thimbleweed Park or Talkies™? Absolutely nothing, so let’s get on with the update!
Thimbleweed Park will now feature full voice! Best! Backers! Ever!

To answer a couple of questions that have come up: Yes, you will be able to turn the talkies off and just read the text. Yes, you will be able to display the text on screen while listening to the talkies. Yes, you can hide the text and just listen to the talkies. And, yes, you will be able to skip each line if you like hearing the voice, but read really fast. Back in the SCUMM days, the '.' key would end the current line and I plan on implementing that in Thimbleweed Park. It will cut off the audio, but that's OK because you’re in control.

▶︎ The box will be a full size old-school game box, not one of the small boxes that started coming out in the mid-90s. Those aren’t real boxes!
▶︎ The manual will be much like the one that shipped with the original Maniac Mansion.
▶︎ The game that comes on the CD will be DRM free. I don’t know all the details yet. I’ll need to spend some time down the road figuring it all out.
▶︎ There will be some fun “feelie” in the box. We don’t know what that is yet. We often didn’t know what those were until the end of the project.

Only hours left to get guilt absolution, secure you're name and voice in Thimbleweed Phone Book history, or get a lavishly signed collectors edition box.
