Much like King’s Quest VII, Leisure Suit Larry VII gives us fantastic graphics that are cartoon in nature – and the interface is very different (no real typing except for Easter Eggs). It’s such a good game, and still holds up! What was the most difficult thing in Leisure Suit Larry VII for you? Head into the comments and tell me.

This was such a redemption after the mess (IMO) that was LSLV – Leisure Suit Larry VI felt like it went back to what made it great! What was some of what you loved in Leisure Suit Larry VI? Head to the video and tell me in the comments!

By far, my least favorite of the Leisure Suit Larry series. Was there anything you enjoyed about the game? If so, head into the video and tell me in the comments.

Leisure Suit Larry III does something very unique where the main character switches! You start as Larry Laffer, then switch to Passionate Patti! Such an amazing concept. What did you love the most about LSLIII? Head into the video and tell me in the comments!

Despite the potential bug with the air bag and a few other things, Leisure Suit Larry 2 is by far my favorite of the series. What did you enjoy about LSL2?

Hello everyone! Words can’t express how excited we all are to finally be releasing the first platformed version of SpaceVenture. Before I get started here, it’s very important that if you haven’t already read the last update, you do that now. A lot of questions you may have were addressed in that last update. Here is a link so you can read it now: CLICK HERE

As with the last update, we would like to do a quick FAQ:

Q. Which operating system will SpaceVenture be released for today?

A: The release today is for Windows. Information on the other platforms can be found in the previous Kickstarter update linked above

Q: What if we would like to report bugs/issues that we find along the way?

A: The email you receive today will contain information on how to report stuff to us. We will not be looking for bug information in the Kickstarter comments.

Q: What about the backers that gave enough to receive in-game digital rewards as mentioned in the last update?

A: See info below

Q: When will the game be on Steam and possibly other online stores?

A: Hopefully soon, but we don’t have a specific date. That is what we will begin working on after today.

Backers will receive Steam keys and the game will be available for purchase to the public as well.

IN GAME BACKER REWARDS

We have had a lot of fun putting the finishing touches on these in the past few weeks. So how did it all turn out?

Your name in the credits: $100 and up backers will see their name or alias in the credits. Once you beat the game and the credits have scrolled, you will see a “Credits” button appear on the game menu and you can watch your name gloriously scroll up the screen until your heart’s content 🙂

Fan/Name Vanity Cards: $500 and up backers were able to have their name and a tagline added to a “Backer Card” in the game. As Ace Hardway, you’ll have access to a PDA. The PDA has apps! One of the apps you’ll start out the game with is called “Backer Cards”. The App will not be available to use until you have built Ace’s ship and flown out into space. Here’s a hint, try shooting stuff with your ship. Also, one of the fun things about SpaceVenture is that you’ll be able to revisit a lot of the previous areas you’ve explored in the game. Even after you beat the game and the credits have rolled you can do this. In fact, to collect all the Backer Cards, you’ll have to beat the game and revisit a few scenes.

Here is a look at the Backer Cards mechanic: 

Wall of Fame: $750 and higher backers got to have a photo posted on the Wall of Fame area of the game. You’ll encounter this area at Nurbs Landing!

Name a star in the game: $5000 and up backers got to name a star in the game. As you fly around in the various areas of space, you’ll see large stars, give them a look! 

So this is it everyone. Be on the lookout for that email later today (Sept 16th 2022). We are thrilled for you all to finally get to play this game and hope you’ll enjoy it. Thank you all again for your patience over the years.

WHILE YOU’RE WAITING ON THAT EMAIL, WE’D RECOMMEND YOU CHECK THESE OUT!

This is the game that started it all… What’s your favorite thing about LSL1? Head to the video and tell me in the comments.

I remember being blown away by the animation in King’s Quest VII – it felt very Disney like, which is probably what they were trying to do to capture that “the family can play this game together” feeling. What did you think of King’s Quest VII?

King’s Quest VI is what everyone loves the most – so what is you loved the most about KQVI? Head to the video and tell me in the comments.

I remember King’s Quest V as being this big multimedia ordeal. What is your favorite memory about King’s Quest V – and don’t say Cedric, because I know you’re lying – let me know in the comments of the video.
