The Adventuress Forums Are Open

I have decided to bring all of my sites closer together, so I have opened up forums for The Adventuress on my website for my art projects. So feel free to make an account and stop by for some discussion about adventure games or anything else. :)

Reversion: The Escape and Indiegogo

Reversion is an adventure game by a small team in Argentina that is planned to have several chapters. The first chapter, The Escape is completely free.

The team started an indiegogo campaign (a crowd funding site like kickstarter for projects that are not USA based) to raise funds for the second chapter, The Meeting. They are aiming for $4,000, which isn't bad at all and is certainly doable.

The tier for a digital download for the game is $4. As this is funding for a single chapter, there is no tier for a boxed version this time. There is however, a T-shirt available at $60 and a big poster at $150, as well as many higher tiers such as the $1,800 tier in which you become a character in the game.

If you'd like to support Reversion chapter two, pick a tier and pledge your support at the Reversion: The Meeting indiegogo campaign.

1954: Alcatraz Announced

1954: Alcatraz is an adventure game by Daedalic Entertainment and Irresponsible Games, a studio founded by Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island team member Gene Mocsy after Autumn Moon was reduced to one employee, founder Bill Tiller (creator of A Vampyre Story and Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island). Bill Tiller also reportedly contributed art to 1954: Alcatraz, and Pedro Macedo Camacho (composer of Autumn Moon's games) is composing music for the game.

The game is set in 1950s San Francisco, a man named Joe is sentenced to 40 years in Alcatraz for armed robbery. He's determined to escape, but no one has ever broken out of the infamous prison before. He'll need his wife's help, but she's got problems of her own, as a fellow gangster is threatening her life if she doesn't hand over the stolen money. But only Joe knows where it's hidden, and the entire North Beach is searching for the stolen money.

The game is expected to be released later this year.

HeXit Sci-Fi Adventure Is On Kickstarter

HeXit is the newest game to seek funding through the Kickstarter crowd-funding platform. HeXit is a sci-fi point and click adventure game, which could become an episodic adventure series if the first game is successful. The HeXit kickstarter has multiple tiers to choose from with various goodies, starting with a digital copy of the game for $10. The game will be released for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

This one looks really interesting, the graphic design is phenomenal, and they're only asking for $75,000US, which should certainly be doable.

SpaceVenture Prototype Demo #4 Is Out

The fourth playable prototype demo of SpaceVenture, the new game by the creators of Space Quest that is going to be created if enough money is raised on the SpaceVenture kickstarter, is out now.

The new prototype has four possible deaths, a playable Cluck Y'egger II minigame, and new animation. The demo is playable in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers, as well as on iPad. The final game won't require a browser to play. If you enjoyed the demo, and/or enjoyed Space Quest, back the SpaceVenture kickstarter by picking a tier on which to pledge your money, and get various goodies in the process.

The project is currently at just over $450,000US of it's $500,000US goal with just less than two days to go. It's still very possible that this will be funded, but it's certainly going to be a close one. Every new pledge (and upgraded pledge) helps.
