A few of you might be familiar with the Unforgotten Realms internet cartoon starring sir Schmoopy. The series has been in hiatus for the last year and we've heard little of it's status until now. The creator has been working on a video game for the last year and apparently has decided to jump on the kickstarter bandwagon to get the funding to finish it. For anyone who hasn't seen the show it is a light-hearted comical adventure of two gamers.

The game seems to be a platforming MMO with a strong story element, the creator says it better than I could in his ks video.

You can check out the first episode here: http://www.urealms.com/content.php?150-Unforgotten-Realms-Episode-1

Was sceptical.
Now I want it.
Also this is probably more suited to Video Games...

I wasn't sure where to put it since it has to do with the internet cartoon as well.

Edit: okay, its been moved. Thank you mods.

Yesterday Rob streamed for over 4 hours on twitch tv explaining Unforgotten Quest. He went into a lot of great details and his thoughts on the design process. He also explained a good portion of his vision for the game.
A very kind person on the unforgotten quest forums made a list of times which certain subjects came up to help people navigate such a long video.

The game is over halfway funded and has over two weeks remaining, but it still runs the risk of falling short of the goal. More of the expensive reward levels are being expanded due to demand with "Carl the Kobold's crazy not-so-good deals, ...Boom!"
