Maybe the authors are enlightened philosophers who realized that the setting does not matter, the only things that matter are the situations and the writing and the puzzles. Or more probably they said: with our budget, there’s no point doing something else… outdoor scenes are complicated to do.

The graphics is pretty good I think. Nails the atmosphere right and is pleasant to watch. But why undithered EGA palette? They could at least use the enhanced EGA. (or maybe it is that?) These guys must be hard-core fans 🙂

Wait, that makes sense in English. I’ll have to work on this… 😛

I definitely enjoyed Her Story, so I’m curious to see where that goes.

It mostly reads like it could’ve been written about Her Story.

Encodya is still [on Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/piovesan/encodya) for one more week, too. Not far from the second stretch goal now. Haven’t backed it yet, but I’m considering.

Speaking of Kickstarter, 3 Minutes to Midnight will launch their [campaign](https://www.subscribepage.com/scarecrowstudio) in about a month. That’s one I’m actually looking forward to.

This is a Fate of Atlantis clone on kickstarter.  
I’ve backed it.

I think it won’t make it, but if you want another FOA (and why wouldn’t you? are you a monster? :)), you can back it too:

I must have totally overlooked that, and so has everyone else, it seems. Which is a shame, since it indeed resembles FoA in many respects (though not in others). What few graphics are shown look nice as well. I might chime in on that one, but as you say, there’s no hope remaining with such a lackluster first week. Quite sad!

On facebook there is some really nice bg graphics that (incredibly) does not seem to be on the kickstarter page

That looks very nice.

**But** I have my doubts seeing a single person trying to make a whole game in an accaptable period of time. He estimates 1 1/2 years from now. 35.000$ are not enough to live 1 1/2 years from it, so he needs to work somewhere. Which leads to he can´t do the game full time which leads to me thinking 1/ 2 Year is very optimistic.

He writes “We” and not “I” in the campaign, but especially if there are several persons working on it 35.000$ is just nothing.

I would really like to see this game, but I think too the campaign won´t make it.  
Seeing all this and some misspellings in the campain unfortunaltelly just raises strong doubts in me and as it seems in a lot of other people too. At least at this point only 27 people backed the game.

Only the first episode: “This campaign hopes to finance the first episode …”

And we don’t know how far they already got in the development process: “Part of our work is done, we have an amazing story and a lot of work already done …”

Maybe the first episode needs only some polish and a translation.
