Steam on your android and iPhone...
But what will those big executives do all day? How will they justify their salaries?

I don't think anyone would need to donate to projects like half life 3, this should be more for projects that aren't assured to profit otherwise. Also, relying on donations game to game would feel pretty scary, but it's a nice alternative for some projects.
This exact point is addressed in the handy video on the Kickstarter page!

I'm wondering if it was just thier way of saying iOS, 3DS, and Vita?
Then it's like any other game that comes out, people buy for 60 dollar and it sucks ass.

Then it sucks. Myself and others are donating because we think there is a good chance that Double Fine, given its track record, will deliver a memorable experience. If it doesn't, then so be it. By donating you acknowledge and agree to accept either possibility.
"HOLY SHIT THE NEW 'MODERN BROFARE BATTLE EFFECT: THE CREED OF THE ASSASSIN' HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED! TO GAMESTOP WE GO!"
"OH MY GOD, I JUST PRE-ORDERED THIS AWESOME GAME OF AWESOME! FUCK YEAH! I'LL GO TO 4RedditOnGAF AND SHOW MY HYPE!"
/3 months later after game releases
"Fuck me."
/trade game back, only get 15 bucks for it

Even if the gameplay sucks I don't see how it won't have good writing and probably humor. The gameplay can be as bad as possible if it excels at those two aspects.
Windows 8 tablets.
So guys
What happens if it gets rejected by Steam?
lots of floppy discs

Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert working on a point 'n click adventure? Sign me right the fuck up.
I'll definitely be in for $30, but with 33 days left I'm tempted to see if I can swing $100. Because god damn, these guys made a shitload of childhood memories for me.
Insert disc 22 and press button to continue.

I don't care if the game sucks or not. The real juicy stuff here is the chance to see Double Fine's inner workings at full power, even if the team itself isn't all big and shiny. Top-dollar game designers, writers, artists, musicians, and programmersall making something that they've dreamed of doing, but never have been able to in the current state of the industry. How I love thee, Internet startups that allow for great things!

The motivation to make it good is still there as when it's actually released they'd still want to sell more.
Well the gameplay will be basic point and click I'd imagine, so almost the entire focus of the game is on writing and humor. And if the promo video for this is anything to go by, they've still got it haha

Yeah, I don't see how this will be bad.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Wait a couple of minutes, hit refresh, and the pledges go up by ~$2,000.

Damn they're raising money fast!! But who wouldn't want to be in on Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert making an adventure game?

You have the two people who know how to make point and click adventure games. I'm not worried about that part. And they're hilarious.
I'm not worried about any of this actually.
Except only one is confirmed to be working on this project.
Edit: And Deathspank sucks
Even if I was rich I dunno if I'd do the $10,000. I'm not even sure I'd feel comfortable with the $1,000, because what if I was funding a sucky game. While the staff is good, who knows if they'll pull off an excellent adventure game or some crappy Telltale 5 hour repetitive junk.
I think $100 is the max I would do to support Schafer and the genre. I have a feeling even at that, I might be getting horribly burned. But $100 isn't the end of the world. Panty Fighter 2 imported from Japan costs about that much these days.

Best part of this arrangement for DF has to be that they will get to own the IP. This will make it much easier to port to ios/android, etc. down the road.
That is awesome! internet bro fist and what not.

Tim Shafer's adventure game credits are the very best in the industry anyway. He's all the game needs, Ron Gilbert would just be a bonus.
You know that for 5 bucks you're not getting the game, right?
Take a look at 1:30 of the video
the 500 dollar donation or something should totally be a copy of the game on floppy discs in a ziplock bag(s).

Didn't Ron Gilbert post something back in November about making an old school adventure game? He posted concept art and everything. That could be the game they are trying to now make.
