Mrstarker: Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick are making a "true spiritual successor" to Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thimbleweedpark/thimbleweed-park-a-new-classic-point-and-click-adv HypersomniacLive: No DRM-free mention. Keeping an eye on it for now, as it does look sweet.
yes it looks good ....
if it gets here DRM free and the price is affordable : ?? to 9.99 euro i will buy it at once
if its abit higher: 11.99 or so i will add it to wishlist
i bought roaming fortress (towerdefence but moving) (drm free) on gamersgate at 10 bucks, funny thing was it got on sales 2 days later at 3 bucks (euro)
i read my pcgameplay magazine from jan 2015 and it had some extra pages
it mentioned 5 wellknow crowdfunds that were succesfull:
1. Star Citizen
according to the article in the magazine it reachs 65 million $
and still goes up
2. Kingdom Come : Deliverance
3.Unsung Story
managed to get 660K $ (i assume its no typo)
4. Thimbleweed Park
Lucas Arts Veterans Ron Gilbert and Garry Winnick
If they still are at Lucas Arts, maybe just maybe GOG can get a DRM free game?
5. The Universim
collected 387.000 $
according to the article in the magazin
They also mentioned 5 Crowd Failures (ofcourse there are more but gameplay took these and placed them in the top5 in their magazine)
1. Transverse
2. Human Resources
3. The Black Glove
4. Outcast HD
5. Kaptain Brawe 2
seemed to failed twice accoring to the pcgameplay article
Their top 10 original visual design:

2. Child of Light
3.
This War of Mine (i think they are very right about this one)
4. Valiant Hearts: The Great War
5. The Floois Jelly
6. Framed
7. Monument Valley
8. Lumino City
9.
The Banner Saga (i think they are very right about this one, maybe the game didnott lived up to many gamers expectations but the graphics are good, escpecially the fights in the 'bar' although they are quite large when played on a crt 17" at 1024x768
I bought it on GOG sales
10. Dominque Pamplemousse
IAmSinistar: Interesting info, I might try hacking the game myself. If I can get an asset ripper working, then I can try to see if the KS content is actually present but blocked, or if it is entirely absent (which it might be if backers received an extra file to download).
Thanks!
Gnostic: Eureka!!! Success!
Open that file in notepad, look for class="17" realid="24". Class is the class of the character, for example class="10" is the lord class, which is the vampire, class 17 is the dryad (nature spirit) and class 18 the succubus (demoness). realid is the portrait of the character. realid 24 is the dryad and 23 is the succubus
Then look for these line in the end
<inactiveparty size="0"></inactiveparty>
<bp id="0"></bp>
<bp id="23"></bp>
<bp id="24"></bp>
bp id is the attack animation of the characters. You should put the same value with the realid. bp id="0" is the sorcerer, 23 is the succubus and 24 is the dryad.
Failing to configure all of them properly will crash the game, as I learn it many times the hard way.
As an extra treat this is skills of the Dryad
http://i.imgur.com/m30MMRe.jpg Drooling over the Ward of Winter yet? No wonder I did not see these lucky kickstarter backers complain that the puppet cannot regenerate its own EN.
Note that the skills above in the witch skills as I just change her at a higher level thus she retain the witch skills. For as clean as possible experience you have to start at level 1 so you will have a minimum of other characters skills.
I did not try the succubus much yet but it have a stun attack skill on level 2
It would be best to pm me if you want to know more information because I don't want to drag this thread too much off topic.
most if not all casual like and indie games have files like that, these allow you to spice up the game, adding more power and mony, i have loads of casual games (retail cd) and virtual download only, and i have been editing files like these for years now, thats the first thing i do: search and look if there's any stuff that might be editable.
And the old Tsearch tool can help out sometimes with extra money or energy, although it seems to work less efficient on 64 bits windows 7, it worked like a charm on good old XP.
Even on the old jagged alliance save games (hex editor) to increas that poor money they gave at start tot a few ton, allowing to get the best available merc so you can pass the game easily.
Cause in the end we all want to win games instead of instant death all the time, you pay for and play singleplayer games to win and no to die.
So a bit editing is alsways fun.
