Project Update: Legends of Adventure Hits the Road + A Message from a Game Grump!
It's been a few months since our last update, but we're here to share the exciting news that Legends of Adventure: The Story of Sierra On-Line officially enters production later this week!
The production team is heading out to the Pacific Northwest on Friday for a week of planned interviews with some very recognizable Sierra alumni.
Who will we be interviewing? Project backers can find out below in the exclusive "backer-only" part of this update, but be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram for live updates throughout this production phase of production to see what we're up to.
But this is just the beginning. We'll embark on an even bigger shooting block this spring, taking us all over the United States and beyond. More interviews, more locations, and more stories about the history of Sierra On-Line from the people who were there.
None of this would be possible without you – the backers – so thank you again for helping us get to this point.
Stay tuned for more updates about additional cast members, rewards fulfillment, and some big surprises we cannot wait to share!

Dan was kind enough to record a quick message for us about his love of Sierra games and why he thinks the documentary is an important project. Watch it below:
That's all for now – look out for our next update in mid-November after this phase of production is wrapped.
Backers: Be sure to visit the Legends of Adventure Community page to see our exclusive "Backer Only" announcement about our first round of interviews!
Thanks,
The Legends of Adventure Team
Project Update: 🎉 Thanks from the Legends of Adventure Team 🎉
That's a wrap on the Legends of Adventure crowdfunding campaign!
What an exciting final day it's been – thank you to all of our new backers who helped us go into overtime mode on the campaign, exceed 477% funded, and reach an incredible $357,557.75 raised! And to those who upgraded your pledges over the past few days, thank you for helping us get across the finish line with style.
Although we didn't reach our final stretch goal, we did come very close – and because of that, we may have some news to report about Legends of Adventure: The Book very soon.
In the meantime, our team will be taking a much-needed break tomorrow – but stay tuned because we'll have more updates for you soon about the next steps, from when production of the documentary will begin to rewards fulfillment, additional cast and crew member announcements, and more!
And, in case you missed it, you can watch a recording of our Campaign Wrap Party live stream – with a cavalcade of amazing guests from the world of adventure games – below:
And if that's not enough Legends of Adventure content, you can still ask us questions on our Reddit AMA from earlier today here.
Thank you again for all your support!

I’ve been reading through Ken’s book and just made an interesting connection with Phantasmagoria. He mentions that the director of the live action video, Peter Maris, worked on several B-movies including Terror Squad. This one was filmed in my small home town of Kokomo, IN. Calling it a “B” movie might be a little generous! I was in middle school / junior high at the time, and even though it was technically rated R, my parents had no problem with me watching it given how cheesy and low budget it was. I’m glad Phantasmagoria was a bigger hit!
I've been busy for the last two months getting my house ready to sell, so forgive me if this is a dumb question (my brain is scattered). Did we already provide shipping information for this project yet, or is that coming in a survey closer to the shipping date? Thank you!

I've been enjoying Ken's book since the last update. Is there a plan for regular (monthly or bi-monthly) updates on the progress of the documentary?
