00:00 Hello, Bonjour, Guten Tag, my name is Charles Sessile, I am the founder of Revolution Software
00:09 and the game director of the Broken Sword series.
00:13 We're currently developing a hugely enhanced version of our first Broken Sword game, Shadow
00:20 of the Templars, featuring familiar friends.
00:24 Hello George, what can I do for you now?
00:27 Daring escapades and terrifying foes, all in glorious 4K.
00:37 If you'd like to see a collector's edition on PC and console, then please consider backing
00:43 this Kickstarter.
00:44 Keep your distance monsieur.
00:46 I remember how, in the 1990s, boxes were full of wonderful collectibles and part of the
00:52 joy of a new game was the unpacking experience.
00:56 I would love to do the same for Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars Reforged.
01:01 An exclusive box full of cool collectibles to celebrate both 25 years since the original
01:07 release and this substantially enhanced version.
01:11 This will include the game of course, a George figurine, a cloth manuscript, a comprehensive
01:17 manual that gives a description of characters and locations that inspired the story and
01:22 anything else that we think that you would like to know.
01:25 A Broken Sword USB-C memory stick packed with digital goodies including an updated Revolution
01:32 History movie embedded into an interactive timeline and more.
01:38 If we reach our Kickstarter goal, we'll do it.
01:42 Furthermore, it will allow us to raise our ambition for the game itself.
01:47 Let me tell you what we plan to do.
01:49 The original game ran at 640x480 with a very limited palette of colours.
01:55 Using these original graphics as a base, we're redrawing everything in 4K.
02:00 At the time, graphics needed to be compressed which created jarring artefacts.
02:05 Without these constraints, we're able to bring you the beauty of the game that we always
02:10 imagined.
02:12 And some elements were rushed.
02:14 What a privilege it is to be able to circle back after all of these years to polish rough
02:18 edges.
02:20 Characters now cast dynamic shadows in real time and are dynamically lit in the environment
02:25 enhancing the beautiful hand-drawn look.
02:29 And there is so much more.
02:31 So if you'd like to see a collector's edition of Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars Reforged
02:37 in English, German or French, please consider backing this Kickstarter.
02:44 We would absolutely love to do it.
02:47 Thank you so much for watching.
