Help fund Double Fine's Next Game! - briefly
(hx) 10:40 PM CET - Feb,09 2012 - Post a comment / read (4)
Tim Schafer and Double Fine have decided to cut out the risk averse publisher middlemen and have gone straight to the users for financial backing to develop a new game using Kickstarter, a funding development platform. So far, Double Fine have received pledges amounting to almost $850k in less than a day! WOW! We did it! 100% funded in just over eight hours. You people are amazing! But it's not over yet. The number keeps going up and now the question is just how much news do we want to make with this? We're getting a lot of attention already and it seems like this little project could have an impact beyond itself.

All money raised will go to make the game and documentary better. Additional money means it can appear on more platforms, be translated into more languages, have more music and voice, and an original soundtrack for the documentary, and more!

Your backing and comments have been truly inspiring to me and the team, so on behalf of Double Fine and 2 Player Productions I want to say THANK YOU!!! I can't wait to see where this thing can go!

Hahaha, hey I got a game sitting on my disk too here! Serious! It's playable MP shooter running on Unreal Tech. It was a finalist in their contest! It's got vehicles and lots of guns. No money to finish it though, but if you send me your money I'll get a team together and finish it. :roll:

Well, package a lot of info about your game, graphics, guns, whatever to "sell" it to the public and then put it up on kickstarter. If it looks cool enough and you have a good enough plan (the good enough plan part is important) who knows? You will probably not get $400 grand in 8 hours, but if you set your sights lower and do it on a shoestring budget maybe people will want it.

Oh common :) Package it, write a story? Good enough plan?

ok, here's what they did:

"About the Project
Over a six-to-eight month period, a small team under Tim Schafer's supervision will develop Double Fine's next game, a classic point-and-click adventure. Where it goes from there will unfold in real time for all the backers to see.

Q: What will the game be?

A: Other than that it will be an old school adventure, we're not sure. That's the beauty of it! Everything will unfold in front of the cameras with help from you!"

That's the plan.

now for the sneak-peak of the graphics:

and BAM! 1.3 million dollars! For point and click shitty game that no one will play (50.000 people is generally "no one" if you consider a user base of ~150.000 million players)
