    It looks like a silly little action/adventure game that Al Lowe and others started to put together years ago. There's a bunch of drama already that Al might not have anything to do with the current development and the company is making it look like he's heading it up. Of course, Paul Trowe is involved with the controversy so it might be nothing.

    Hmm, interesting.
    Meanwhile Al Lowe continues to post jokes on his twitter, like a boss. :obviously:

    So to sum up the drama so far (because there's nothing more to this really):

    Leisure Suit Larry creator wants “infringing” Kickstarter campaign taken down.

    Al's silent, but Trowe's blabbering:
    Al is PISSED!!!!!!

    And fresh comments from Wisecrack:


    I'll gladly save ma' money for once (and by that I mean throw it the Andromeda way : povertycreepingin : )

    I just hope Trowe isn't completely retarded and won't get sued back and lose all the money for the Larry remake.

    Pretty much. All the current adventure kickstarters are struggling to reach the end goals, this one is nearly guaranteed to fail. Specially with this controversy.

    People are losing common sense with the kickstarter craze. Jumping into it with no planning and acting as if this will burn down soon.

    So, basically they were intentionally misleading to give the impression that Al Lowe is still involved. Fuck them.

    If Al Lowe really designed the game and they are following up on these... and if he really signed off his name and credit to the project...maybe he is the one being the douche? I think his fuzz totally sabotaged the project.

    I wonder how they will manage this if he is in no way involved in the project and it doesn't sound like they are best friends or something, either. I'm really wondering what's up there. I suppose they absolutely have the rights but they widely overstretched the "Al Lowe"-card. In other words they were not very polite and they wanted intentionally to let it look more than there actually is.

    Yeah it feels weird to have a tier like that when Lowe has distanced himself from the project.

    It's an obvious bait and switch. They throw out Al Lowe's name everywhere. He has top billing under who's making the game.

    Sam Suede is kinda cute. That is about all I have to add about this game. :M

    Glad Mr. Lowe cleared up his position/info in this.
