Double Fine Adventure

[TEOL]

Tim Schafer and Double Fine are making a point and click adventure game in the mold of Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango, currently titled 'Double Fine Adventure'. They're funding it through Kickstarter and giving backers various perks including the chance to play the beta on Steam, a video series documenting the making of the game and access to a private discussion forum where you'll be able to influence the creative process.

Link to the Kickstarter page, where you can donate and also with a video explaining the whole idea. They made their target within a day so now all the extra money is going into making the game better. I'm already a backer, it sounds like a really cool idea. What does everyone think?

I joined early. But it was already on the 1.2 Million mark.

Yeah, this is pretty awesome. Wasn't the goal to get 400,000 within three weeks and he got like over a million in like a few days? I guess that is what happens when you're the guy behind Psychonauts.

[LUKIE]

Sounds amazing. Given how great the new Monkey Island games were, I do put a lot of hope in more adventure games to come out from some old school loving developers.

They reached their goal in 8 houres and had over one million within 24 houres. The planned timespan was 31 days i belive. It´s the biggest projekt on kickstarter ever, they just had their first "one million" projekt a cupple of houres earlier, now this one should hit two million very soon.

Tim posted a video update last night. DRM Free, oice acting, mac, win, linux, ios android.

....two people actually donated $10, 000? Holy shit. :/

[Liam]

I'd assume that'd be a company, or another developer, or something. Can't see that just happening.

[apsham]

Or someone who just really, really wants a lunch with Tim Schafeur.

[Sousa]

I'm already pledging to the Order of the Stick Kickstarter and can't be arsed to support more than one independent artist!

[Herr Matzat]

New rewards have been posted. Also a very nice long interview.

I am at 100$ now. Colectors Edition sounds nice. To bad the Art Book is at 500$, thats just to much.

[Herr Matzat]
