Has anyone thought about doing a kickstarter to make a remake of this game? Or sequel? The makers of Shadowgate just pulled it off, to great effect. They have a few inherent advantages up their sleeves, of course. One, they created the game and so have an extensive background with the game brand and game development. Two, they were able to buy the licensing/copyrights to the game and fully do what they want. Still, I think the idea of a kickstarter is an excellent idea for anyone who might be serious about doing a sequel or 3D remake, etc. Maybe the community here can help brainstorm some ideas of how to get it set up, what would be good prizes for donors, recruiting talent, etc. Just a thought, though maybe a touch ambitious.

I guess they can literally be called Chunes, an amalgamation of "chip tunes." I dropped a link in the 10-page thread for the first tune in here, but looking at the download count, it seems a new song to most, so I've included it again anyway.

This 1 file contains ... eh... at least the beginnings of 4 tracks. Not sure if I'll expand on a couple themes. And they might be tweaked the more I hear 'em. I'm trying to make them sound similar to TGL's style, but sometimes as I start them, they take on their own sound. Kind of a tough process. What I have to do next is to add a few songs with varying tempos, to mix it up a bit. And maybe a boss track and a jingle or two.

But maybe this might motivate any of you coders to keep on truckin'. Well, here's hoping!
