WE MADE IT!

The campaign is over with 1,389 backers at kr409,237 SEK
The funding goal was 300,000 SEK, so very happy with where we landed!

Thanks everyone.

Celebrate good times!

We announced our first stretch goal today in a fancy video update. Please check it out!

TJD has scored some pretty awesome coverage so far, with the most recent ones being:

Kotaku - Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Eurogamer

Thanks again for your support.

Hey guys!

Remember The Journey Down? The afro-noir adventure game hailed for so successfully ripping off Grim Fandango? Well, the third and final chapter is in the making and coming along beautifully! We’ll be launching a kickstarter in october to help wrap up funding for the last leg of development and I figured I’d be a complete dolt if I didn’t make a thread about that here. So, from now on, expect project updates right here!

As you can probably tell, the setting has shifted somewhat. It’s no longer film noir, but rather an eighties/nineties action move type mood. And we’re LOVING working with it.

If anyone’s curious, here’s a new interview I did at gamescom about our current state: Video interview with Adventure Corner (youtube)

The TJD3 soundtrack is being produced by Jamie Salisburry, the insanely talented guy who took over after my good friend Simon passed. The soundtrack too, features a substantially different mood than the previous games, but don’t worry, there will be saxophone. There will always be saxophone in TJD!

And here’s a sneak peek at some of the new and old characters featured in TJD3:

Expect more shiny pics as we progress in working with our kickstarter campaign materal! And please don’t be shy with your feedback.

Thanks again.

I have purchased chapter 1 on steam and have waited patiently chapter 3 release. And now it looks like I can finally play this next year in all its glory when story is finished Excellent news and I will back it on kickstarter too. Good luck guys!

Yup, another fan here. I’ve pretty much paid nothing from the earlier episodes so I’ll be happy to back the 3rd one.

an easrly congrats, theo! wish you th best of luck with the finale..
any kind of teaser for the upcoming soundtrack?

Here’s a sneak peek from the kickstarter video we’re working on.

Wilco: Thanks, man! I really appreciate it!

Ahenobarbus: Big thanks! I hope you’ll enjoy them all once they’re finally finished!

notanumber: Thanks! I’ll keep you posted!

millenia: Glad to hear it.

Advie: Thanks! Sorry, no musical teaser so far. I promise to post one here once I’ve got one though.

And here’s a pic from yesterday’s development. We had to move out of our office last week, and decided that we’ll do some traditional skygoblin-roaming for a while and work from cafés and random institutions for a while to save some money. To our great joy, the place we worked from yesterday had a refrigerator so we could chill our beer.

Looking forward to this, good luck with moving and development and everything, guys!

Looking forward to the third chapter, looks like it could be the best one yet!

I also really loved the first two parts, and are anxiously awaiting the third game.

Mr Underhill: Thanks, man! Looks like we’ll be running kickstarters roughly the same time, huh?

Mikekelly: Thanks for the love.

giom: I couldn’t possible imagine higher praise, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Iznogood: Thanks! It won’t disappoint!

after a brisk nap: Thanks for the support. Comparatively speaking, I wouldn’t say we’re struggling financially right now. It’s more like we know we’re going to struggle financially very soon if we don’t do anything about it. So, compared to previous eras in the history of skygoblin, I’d say we’re unusually steady. (We’ve been through a lot of insane ups and downs these past ten years!)

Thanks again for this strong showing of support, it really means a lot to me (us!). I’ll be sure to post more goodies as we close in on the actual kickstarter!

Hey man (that you seb?) good seeing you at gamescom!

We’ll likely be launching the campaign early October sometime. Let’s get some magic synergy going once we’re live!
