In short - It's a man who is using his talents in making animal noises to make an educational game about bullying and drugs. It is just as great as it sounds.

Yeah I don't care what any of you say I'm ordering a copy of Troy's Life Lessons, the stuttered computer voice, winning turkeys and roosters, I'm loving on this poo poo.

That looks like a man who just came in from trying to headbutt his truck. He sounds like it as well.

Isn't that the same thing? It's what I meant, certainly- can't they just cancel the KS, spruce things up a bit and come back?

Yeah but then they'd have a cancelled KS project on their permanent record, which is never a good look. There'd be a link on their next project right back to the cancelled one so all their potential backers would have easy access to it.

I can't get mad about animal noises guy. :3: I actually really hope he makes his goal and gets to talk to and work with people who actually know what they're doing and can help him put out some quality edutainment software for kindergarteners.

This one's sorta mixed for me. The premise sounds sorta weird to an adult but keep in mind kids 4-8 are also the target audience that finds poo and fart jokes incredibly hilarious. Having things explained to them in the form of animals with some random sounds thrown in might actually be effective in teaching them not to, heck McGruff and DARE worked wonders despite being ridiculously stupid in retrospect.

Hey guys - someone has finally decided to write the book that asks the biggest question of my childhood :

Why Don't Mommy Kiss Daddy No More?
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1341314700/why-dont-mommy-kiss-daddy-no-more?ref=live

Edit : As a side note, I've noticed more and more authors referring to themselves via their initials. It all started with C.S. Lewis, then J.R.R. Tolkien. Now you have your J.K. Rowling and your G.R.R. Martin... All great authors, to be sure.

According to the project this book will feature "very simple prose by T.A. Johnson" and will take kids on a roller coaster ride "from the sadness of discovery to the elation of learning it wasn't their fault." Except it is your fault. It's all your fault you worthless little poo poo. If it weren't for you mommy and daddy would still be happy. You little loving troll you are the reason that daddy drinks and hits mommy, and it's all because you are a pathetic helpless little fucktard. You should be ashamed.

I'd like to go to an alternate earth where they used whatever her full name is to see what effect it would have on the franchise.Just imagine if it made no difference and my whole trip to an alternate earth was a complete waste of time.Maybe I can get it funded on KS.

It's not really that amazing an accomplishment considering that its competition are people making entirely new games from scratch with complex gameplay systems and tons of new art while all LSL Reloaded had to do was copy-paste some 30 year-old jokes and draw new pictures for them.

Wired wrote a pretty good article about Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded and how the final product is brought down by being "one giant kickstarter reward" at the expense of having a cohesive tone and art style.
