Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter Earns $3.3 Million For Game’s Development
In what must make big name studios and publishers alike shake their collective heads, Tim Schafer’s Kickstarter project, which aimed to collect only $400,000 to fund a classic adventure game, has ended up with a mind blowing $3,335,265 with which to fund the project. Tim said when the last of the funding came in that “it’s been an amazing experience” having seen “So much love” from fans. He even went on to joke that “I don’t want to say this is the end of the whole game industry as we know it … it’s not, it’s not!” In the end, Tim Schafer has broken the development mold, showing that fans no longer need to accept no as an answer when it comes to their favorite “niche” games, that the consumers themselves do indeed get to choose. I eagerly await the documentary that will capture the game’s creation step by step, showing everyone who contributed just what their generosity and love for such a game can accomplish.
No one here or anywhere was really expecting this Kickstarter to blow up the way it did. I mean, Dave told us it was an awesome idea, but who ever takes that guy seriously? The last few weeks have been kind of crazy for 2pp and Double Fine. This has gone from being a fun project we wanted to work on to being our lives for the next year+, and thats really awesome. We have all of you guys to thank.
