General Games Discussion

Due to a demand for a new adventure game by fans [including Notch] Tim Schafer set up a Kickstarter fund

They were asking for a crazy 300k to make the game and another 100k to film its devolopment

The fans spoke by donating an incredible 600k in the first day

Pretty Incredible

I'm not a fan of pointnclick adventure so I'm not gonna donate, but  if it were Psychonauts 2...

Thanks to Notch

Why would it cost 100k to film it?

So that was where all of Fry's money was going to. It all makes sense now.

I can't wait for the eventual (inevitable) backlash.

I'm going to request a direct sequel to "day of the tentacle"

really though this is awesome, I've always been a huge fan of Tim Schafer. he's been under appreciated for years by the big wigs and this seems like an awesome way to say "whateva, whateva.. I do what I want"

Documentaries are expensive. Bowling for Columbine had a 4 million dollar budget...

What they're filming it FOR is what is important here. If this is successful; It might make a good film...

I can't think of another big-title movie or video game that has ever been completely fan funded. It'd make a good story.

I like dogs, doesn't mean I like Poodles

well day of the tentacle was a sequal (and you remind me I need to replay maniac mansion and day of the tentacle). also does anyone remember the maniac mansion tv series? it was like late 90's

but ya, my brother showed me this a few days a go, it's awesome
