I'm almost led to think it's in the planning stages right now.

Well, there really isn't much to plan, right? I'm sure it's just new content.

It looks like a redesign of all of the art, which is too bad because Richard has experience with Magic: the Gathering and making sure that the card backs are identical across various sets and expansions.

I've only gotten to play a couple of times but it's certainly plenty of "game show adjacent" content so I have already set up to be reminded which the campaign launches.

DoItRockapella:
I guess while we're talking about "game show adjacent" Kickstarter pages, Kevin Shinick (for our purposes the host of Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego, but also a comic book writer) is trying to crowdfund "Host Mortem", a graphic novel in which thinly disguised versions of Mr. Shinick and Greg Lee are tasked with solving an actual murder mystery.

As with Half Truth, the page is up, but donations are not yet open. Mr. Shinick said at one point on Instagram that the campaign would launch on June 17, but that clearly didn't happen.

I'm sure Richard and Ken designed the game here and have nothing to do with it at this point beyond any NIL clauses involved when they sold the original concept, if even that. And in both cases I suspect said clauses would be designed to be *more* restrictive with regard to NIL, not less.

I mean, it's a pretty decent little trivia game from what I remember (releasing during the thick of the pandemic didn't help it at all), but without the "MAGIC'S RICHARD GARFIELD AND JEOPARDY'S KEN JENNINGS PROUDLY PRESENT" banner across the top, it gets lost in a sea of dime-a-dozen trivia games while we're all still playing Wavelength.
