SpaceVenture
On April 14, 2012, Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy announced they have reunited and are working on an original adventure game set in space. They have established a new game development company called Guys From Andromeda for that purpose. A Kickstarter project has been launched to fund the development of this new game or SpaceVenture, which will also feature the voice of Gary Owens, narrator of Space Quest IV and 6.
As of June 13, 2012, they achieved their goal of $500,000 eventually raising $539,768 from their Kickstarter campaign, and have begun work on the game. As of September 2012, enough funding has been achieved to enable them to translate the game into German, Spanish, French and Italian.
The game acts as a spiritual successor to the Space Quest series, including the use of a janitor as its protagonist. The hero in this case is named "Ace Hardway" after the home improvement chain Ace Hardware. Another character is "Cluck Egger", after astronaut Chuck Yager. He is a chicken superhero based on the Astro Chicken running gag in the Space Quest series. The game will be rendered in CGI, but a "retro graphics" feature has been proposed.
