It was not in reference to the DQ1 app. ;)

There may be some exciting developments for DestinyQuest coming in the next couple of months - nothing concrete yet so I can't make any formal announcements obviously, but if the project is given the green light then there will be lots of happy DQ gamers, trust me.

Was this statement in reference to the release of of DQ1: Act 3 or is there potentially something else in the pipeline? I don't want details you're not allowed to share (especially if that could screw the "greenlighting") but I am curious to know if there's potentially more original material to come.

I've recently got back into gamebooks (after a 30 year gap, gulp!) thanks to Destiny Quest and the Inkle stuff on iThings and I'm really, really enjoying DQ ( and I find it works well with the Elder Scrolls sound tracks playing in the background )

Even though volumes 2&3 are sat on my bookshelf unplayed as yet, I'd KS number 4 without hesitation from what I've played of Legion of Shadow.

Here's hoping for good things ahead!

Yes, those projects have been very encouraging.

Of course, it may not go ahead - in which case I will start looking at other options. Although I don't think I could take any book to kickstarter until it was written or at least 75% towards completion.

As you can see both of these gamebooks in question have reached and exceeded there target goals.

As well as other gamebooks listed on kickstarter doing well at the moment. Midnight legion, The Good, the bad, the undead.

From looking at past gamebooks on that site it seems that most if not all have been funded and released.

Food for thought.

... and it may well be that it will have reached around $42,000 at the end of the campaign, according to Kicktraq.

The Fabled Lands KS is closing on $19,000 with a good 16 days until the end. What amount would you consider to be your "bare minimum" for a Book 4?

I was thinking along the same line and was about to post about it. I'm sure that a kickstarter campaign would be a huge success. A lot of gamebook writers have been published that way over the past few years (William Fincher and Marc J. Wilson are good examples) and I fail to see how it could not be the same for Michael as he already have a good fanbase. Moreover, the kickstarter campaign could go far beyond writing a new book and encompass other things, like for example some digital content.

I would love to back a DQ kickstarter. Some more printed loot cards for rewards and stretch goals would be even more awesome!

Hey Guys,

Its been so long since I last posted that I had to make up a new account lol.

I dont know how many faithful still post here but with the surge in kickstarter funded gamebooks as of late why isn't Michael trying to get funds from a kickstarter campaign? I would gladly give him money for another book and since he put out the first book by him self I'm sure he can do it again with our help.

Currently there are two gamebooks running until the 4th of august on kick starter.
Alices nightmare in wonderland by jonathan green (FF author) and the new fabled lands book which I stumbled onto.
If you like destiny quest you will like fabled lands.

I know it sounds selfish of me but I would just like one more book from Michael as he has put his heart and soul into thise series and for one it has gotten me back into reading again.
