Kentucky Route Zero's second act delayed to mid-May

By Michael McWhertor on Apr 29, 2013 04.29.13

The second act of Cardboard Computer's five act episodic adventure, Kentucky Route Zero, has been pushed to mid-May, the developer announced in its monthly newsletter. Kentucky Route Zero's creators say that some unexpected work relating to distribution, the Independent Game Festival and "troubleshooting for a larger number of players than we anticipated" are responsible for the delay of Act 2. The episode will hit a few weeks later than its previously expected end-of-April release. "It's looking really good though, and we're anxious to have it out in the world," Cardboard Computer wrote. Until the act's release, the developer plans to release new screenshots through its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Kentucky Route Zero's first act was released in January for Windows PC and Mac,...

Kentucky Route Zero developer Cardboard Computer released Act 1 of the five-act episodic adventure game series on Windows PC and Mac today, and said a Linux version is "coming soon."

Kentucky Route Zero trailer oozes with atmosphere

By Samit Sarkar on Oct 25, 2012 10.25.12

A new trailer for Kentucky Route Zero, a game whose developers at Cardboard Computer describe as a "magic realist adventure game," shows off the new art style implemented by artist Tamas Kemenczy. Kentucky Route Zero has been in development for about two years; Kemenczy and his development partner, Jake Elliott, put the title on Kickstarter in January 2011, where they were able to exceed their $6,500 funding goal. With an original electronic soundtrack by Ben Babbitt, and hymns and bluegrass standards covered by The Bedquilt Ramblers, Kentucky Route Zero seems well-equipped to deliver its quiet, slow-paced story about a secret highway in the Bluegrass State "and the mysterious folks who travel it." Cardboard Computer plans to release Kentucky Route Zero in five acts on PC and Mac,...
