Udvarnoky Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 First the insane Hit the Road package, now this? In truth, I'm to blame. I recklessly make threads like this, and now the monkey's paw has twisted. No more money for anybody. Also if the EGA version isn't on that disc, we're talking war crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be on the USB drive, though.

Scummbuddy Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Aren't there three slightly different versions of the Loom Audio drama? Different actors and lengths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandra IDV Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Tempted to get this - it's one of my favorite adventure games, and I've never owned it outside of Steam. Will also pretend that this is heralding Forge and Fold, because of RtMI happening after LRG's MI collection.

cinnamon Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I wish we could get a hint from Moriarty that interest in this may nudge LucasFilms Games to fund the sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra IDV Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Realistically I don't think this is gonna affect anything - people buying this are Loom superfans, while a new Loom game would target a broader audience of adventure game players. Still have hopes that the success of RtMI will lead to Lucasfilm investing in further adventure games.

I hope that's incorrect because even I, who didn't buy the thing, would find that pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagomorph01 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It's strange to me that something Limited Run announced a year ago is already being received, while Sam and Max This Time It's Virtual, ordered May 26th 2022, is still nowhere to be found. I've got 3 things in pre-order there, and still not a word about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 This time it’s virtual has shipped to most people as I understand it. Hit the Road is held up though as I am designing it and have been record-breaking slow at finalizing deliverables. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) @Jake, I am ecstatic that you are involved with that one and that someone was smart enough to let you. I also have received my Loom LR edition but I haven't opened it up yet so I can't confirm the included versions but I don't have a reason to doubt it either. And I also have received my "This Time It's Virtual" box but have also had already-released items held up because I had lots in my one order. @Lagomorph01 can you check if you have other items with that specific order? Limited Run Games started an initiative recently to allow users to have half-orders shipped separately but you have to make that effort with their shipping distributor.

I didn't order anything else when I ordered This Time It's Virtual. However I do have Grim Fandango and Return to Monkey Island pre-ordered as well. The order status still says "In Production" for all three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) I wrote a whole bunch below but then found this direct link, which I suggest you use now and get a quick update. LRG and Purple Dot - Update/Shipping Lookup If you don't get the shipping info that you expect, I'd say reach out with the link I wrote further down. ------ I suggest you reach out to the "Purple Dot" group, as mentioned on their new shipping initiative FAQ. LimitedRunGames and Purple Dot shipping From the FAQ: "You are even free to reach out to them directly for an independent update on your pre-order." --- Good luck!!

I hope that's incorrect because even I, who didn't buy the thing, would find that pretty disappointing. Well, that's a real shame, then. I helped out collecting pretty much every version available (including all foreign language versions), all foreign versions of the audio drama, and cleaned up tons of brand-new scans of the "Book of Patterns", the game's manual and the hint book (each one in several different languages - my guess would be, all the ones that were released). Looks like I'll just dump all those documents (minus the game, obviously) on archive.org, or something. If Mojo wants to host them, I'll happily provide them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 The Mojo Archive Team is never in the business of turning down donations. I'd like to get some certainty on the USB stick in fact lacking the EGA build. Anybody here got their hands on one so we don't have to rely on second hand claims?

Always throws a 403 error. I have a suspicion that your messages are maxed out. But I don't want to suggest deleting them all in case I'm wrong (also it seems better to increase the limit than force you to lose those old messages). Hopefully Z finds a solution soon!
