Double Fine Adventure Game!(Kickstarter)

[taumel]

This will easily go beyond a million. This is so satisfying.

[MusicallyInspired]

This is beyond awesome.

[Macfly77]

I backed early(-ish) and am thrilled that it didn't stop (or even slow down, really) once it reached $400000.
Hopefully, a Mac version is now in the cards!

Q: How will I get the game?

A: Steam codes will be delivered to all backers.

Q: How do I get access to the beta?

A: On Steam. Isn’t Steam the best?!

No, Tim, it defo isn't.

So they missed my money. Doesn't seem they need it though. Wishing them all the best.

This is fantastic news. Despite being broke, I'm very tempted to contribute some funds towards this.

That's for the project Ron Gilbert is already leading within Double Fine. It's a separate thing which is already in development.

The Double Fine Adventure project's lead is Tim Schafer and there's no art released for it yet.

I love how they nailed the humour in this video in a way i constantly missed in TTG productions.

Schafer walking through the HiHats alone is such a great start. The way he then mentions germany is so weird and funny in context (especially if you're german and have a little bit understanding of the ups and downs of the local market, it gets its own meaning). How he grabs the money without any intention of ever giving it back (with this weird 5ish fake note), interpreting things positive, although Gilbert closes the door, the way he drags the film guy next to him and asking him these questions silently, the big sausage thing, the interacting with the point&click interface, ... it's just great fun.

It makes you want to work there too.

Even the Hell and Future Vision ads? Those were pretty good, no?
Anyway, $15 for a pre-order is probably going to be a steal down the line, so hell yes I'm in.

Damned. I wanted to chip in but I have no credit card....

I assumed since it was concept art, it would still be in the early stages, just seemed strange that Ron would work on 2 Double Fine games when one of them sounds like something he's really passionate about if the idea predates Maniac Mansion. Is that confirmation they are seperate projects or is it still a possibility? it doesnt say on Gilbert's blog that he's leading it, I dont see why not

As far as I understand it (not well, admittedly!) Tim's the lead on the Adventure project, not Ron. I think that, like Telltale, there is at least some bleedover between who is helping on what.

Well thats reason to celebrate then if we've got 2 adventure(possibly) games coming out of Double Fine. That concept art had an adventure game vibe to it, either way happy times!

[Darth Marsden]

Really? I thought the concept art just seemed to have a 'same art direction as Psychonauts' vibe. Ho hum.

I also got an adventure game vibe from that concept art but that's probably because the woman looks like the librarian from Monkey Island 2 and the man looks like the thug from Flight of the Amazon Queen. It's also quite probable that it's merely wishful thinking. All the same, here's hoping.

$800,000, past the double of what they needed mark.

This is hanging up in my office to talk a wild guess at how pumped I am right now!
