Big Finish, which employs several longtime members of Access Software, had hoped to raise funds to revive the "Tex Murphy" series, even going as far as announcing a new project, but after failing to generate enough, they instead decided to crowdfund the remainder of the money on Kickstarter. They successfully raised almost $600,000 on Kickstarter, exceeding their stated goal of $450,000*. On June 18, 2012, Big Finish Games began production on a new "Tex Murphy" game that would again star Jones.
