Edit: The kickstarter page is now live!

The project will go live in round about 20 mins, so the link doesn’t work yet. Still I wanted to inform you and urge you to pledge… Tongue

There is also a german interview with screenshots here:

The game is already funded but asks for money for additional features like more and optional puzzles, animations, orchestral soundtrack etc. The release is planned for the beginning of 2015.

First things first, I really like tBoUT. It’s firmly in my top 10 adventures. And also it is really cool, that youve managed to fund the sequal, so that what ever happens with this KS you’ll release it as it is.

I find this kind of “enhachment” Kickstarters pretty interesting. I think Larian did the same with their upcoming Divinity game and managed to add a lot of new stuff in it, like NPC schedules and what not, so I am definetly rooting for this one. I’ll have to see if I have enough cash to back this myself though, but I am tempted.

I really, really liked BoUT and, even though I found both Critter Chronicles and The Raven disappointing, I think I’m going to pledge. I like the idea that the game is already funded and that Kickstarter is a way for them to make a “better” edition of the game. That helps keep the target realistic, while still promising a big enough game.

Bloody brilliant!

I find Wilbur’s model improved, but Nathan and Ivo models in the original are superior.

BOUT universe should be more immense than bringing out old characters story(they did this on critter chronicles already) again&again;,I’d expect whole new bunch of characters with at least 4 of them playable,anyway like Raven shows they not on their creative summit no more.

There’s my money gone.

Very happy ‘bout this. The Raven wasn’t brilliant, but it was a nice enough attempt at something a bit different. The Critter Chronicles actually did a good job of getting me liking Nate a bit more than in BoUT (probably because there was no Wilbur to compare unfavourably with, but still…) but otherwise it was just okay.

But this is the first kickstarter in a long while to get me genuinely excited. Smile

Too rich for my blood and I’m still waiting on a lot of adventure Kickstarters, but I appreciate that they’re keeping the campaign honest and just saying it’s polish money.

I feel conflicted.
On the one hand, The Book of Unwritten Tales is one of my favorite adventure games of all time and in my estimation one of the two best German adventure games.
On the other hand, the buggyness of their last two adventure games was too much too handle. I couldn’t finish The Raven and they still haven’t released a patch for my problems. I basically gave up on it after the game didn’t even accept a save game that would have put me past the roadblocker. Yes, someone from KingArt did reply in the end, but only to basically say that they thought they already fixed the problem (though I wasn’t the only one that still reported it) and to ask if I was sure that my game was up-to-date (which of course it was). It was too little, too late.
Basically, I need to be convinced that KingArt will up their quality control in the future.

As many others, I too was disappointed by The Critter Chronicles and The Raven, but I find Book of Unwritten tales to be one of the better modern adventure games. I will definitely back this, but I share Ozzie’s concerns.

LOL they’ll reach the goal in one day. They forgot to add one zero to the goal, I reckon. Tongue

That was my reaction too. Apparently its because they already have the core game fully funded and its being made regardless of the kickstarter. The kickstarter just means more content, and the opportunity to get special swag to fans.

It does increase the trust towards the project somewhat. I’m glad that they’re doing well and that they’re set to make part 2 a worthy sequal to the first game. I’m gonna sit this one out though, as no cash, no worries.

Personally I like the new character design they’ve done on the main trio. I dig how they all look a bit older than in the first game.
