I hear it all the time:
"Whatever happened to Tex Murphy?"
Everything was going so well...
a hot date with my future girlfriend,
then my speeder got stolen
and then I broke one of own my P.I. rules.
Don't take rides from strangers.
Who's your mate?
Oh, that's Tex. He's having a very bad day.
That true, Tex?
Oh, no - everything's just going peachy.
Well, things could get worser.
Ah.. what happened?
You are dead.
Lame!
Well, OK.
But just don't stick me in some eternal all-night diner
with a bunch of egomaniacs who'll talk my ear off.
Your fate has been decided.
Hold on!
I did not pick this!
I said not this!
Is this another one of your sick jokes?
That's right Murphy.
Ah sh-!
Things got worser alright.
And now you're here
on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Taken in your prime.
Just like us.
I remember your first big case like it was yesterday.
"Under A Killing Moon"
Film Noir, Detective,
Sci-fi
and funny as hell.
That's not a toy you know!
You were the idiot savant of crime solvers.
Soo, you're Tex Murphy!
Stumbling into trouble
but always managing to get out.
The original rebel without a clue.
Yeah, that joke would've been perfect in that game.
My favorite was the "Pandora Detective".
It was so romantic.
Actually, it was the "Pandora Directive".
Ah, but you can call it anything you want.
So you beat us to the box.
Who are you Tex?
Such an exciting story!
But what really got me was how romantic you were.
Kinda partial to your last game.
The police think it's suicide.
I believe they're wrong.
You were supposed to be a good little detective
and die.
There are no heroes anymore,
only villains of varying degrees.
Was beginning to wonder how we were going to get out of this.
Don't stop wondering on my account.
A great movie,
inside a great game.
Yeah,
we all know how that ended:
the Big Finish.
The thing is,
that was the start of what promised to be,
my greatest adventure ever.
And now you're caught in a trap.
You can't walk out.
Good one.
So what will it take to get you back in the saddle again, Tex?
You need a hunka hunka burnin' cash!
Cash!
My nemesis!
Problem is, I'd need about 450 grand.
And we are not talking the pesos, señor.
Well, there might be a way to raise that kind of dough.
Two words.
Kick
Starter.
I'm sure there are lots of people that would love to bring you back, Tex.
Just imagine...
Kickstarter could get you back to Chandler Avenue.
Ah, Chandler Avenue.
It's great to be back.
Where the smell of tainted ladies and rotten garbage fill my nostrils.
But it's time for me to take a break from this metaphysical joyride
and get back to work.
And for that I'll need cash
and references.
Why do we need another Tex Murphy game?
You're gonna enjoy playing Tex Murphy.
I've played it for many many years.
It's sci-fi,
it's film noir.
It incorporates the best of both genres.
Greatest memories I have
of gaming.
And I believe that's a testimony to the wonderful writing for these games.
And I fell in love with every character on Chandler Avenue.
Give me Tex, give me Chelsee, give me Louie.
If you're trying to cast a young Tex, I could walk the walk.
It's definitely time
to bring back Tex Murphy.
"Back where a friend is a friend..."
But you know, you guys are my friends.
Because I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for you.
Ohh, ain't that the truth!
But it costs a lot of money to do an adventure game
and there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you don't even see.
Aand cut! Terrific!
That's uh then set, reset for er Chandler Avenue.
Makeup in, final check.
Thank you, Rook, that was terrific.
And let's reframe for the closeup
on Chandler Avenue.
And makeup out.
And, here we go.
Take your moment, Chris.
Aand...
Action!
It's great to be back on Chandler Avenue.
And we've got Adrian Carr as our director,
and Aaron Conners has written our best Tex Murphy story ever.
"Project Fedora" "By Aaron Conners"
Greatest Tex Murphy story ever, eh?
You're not wrong, mate.
Y'know, but at any other gaming studio it would cost about,
a cagillion
a cagillion bucks to make this game.
How many?!
But we can produce it much more efficiently.
A cagillion bucks?
Lights!
Oh, uhuh, disconnect notice, bust my kneecaps.
Don't get me wrong,
for that kind of money
I'd marry Rook.
I'd even consumate it.
A cagillion dollars.
Let's see how close to a cagillion dollars I can get....
Th-th-this is positively the last time I'm gonna b-b-er warn you.
You know,
450 G's is gonna be plenty,
and if anyone can do it Adrian can.
And for those that contribute
we've got some great perks
including; access to the complete game design process,
regular chats with me and other members of the creative team,
and more.
So,
it's hat in hand time.
Why help us out?
Well Tex Murphy combines humor,
cinematic storytelling and puzzles, into an incredible 3D environment.
We offer a unique adventure experience
and no one integrates these elements as well
because we're the pioneers.
And with new technology,
we'll do it better
for less money.
The Kickstarter funding ensures that the game
will have an epic feel¸ with an excellent cast and multiple paths that are meaningful.
It's now or never.
The team's in place.
James Earl Jones once said...
Your fate has been decided.
But together
we can change destiny.
So go on to our site and donate as if Tex Murphy's life depends on it.
It does.
You know...
Kickstarter's actually a pretty darn good idea.
Why thank you, thank you very much.
I've gotta get out of here...
And you can make it happen.
Donate to Kickstarter
so we can get off the Boulevard of Broken Dreams,
and back in the game.
Listen, my friends;
get Tex out of my chair.
Go over to Kickstarter and donate.
Tex is back!
In the saddle again,
out in the dystopian land.
Where there are Mutants,
and there are Norms,
all kinds of evil,
in different forms.
It's not done till the case is complete
and knock you off your feet.
I said Tex is back!
Yes he's back!
Yes he's back!
Ooooh-ah
Tex is back!
Ohhhh yeaaaah.
Back in the saddle again.
