So I decided to watch the video... and now I wish I had $1000 to offer to them. To bad it ends in 30 days... I'll start my own Kickstarter to make $1,000... 
Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter project by Double Fine [ended, $3.3 Million funded]
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date

Wow, almost at 800k!
I'll donate 30, I hope this turns out well.
I'd definitely donate for a PC version of Demons Souls or a Doom sequel in the Brutal Doom vein or a proper Blood 2 by Monolith.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I discussed it in the HW3 thread and people said they had ended at about 100k from the needed 400k (euros) and their project says "finished" on that site and that whole site itself is "rethinking the concept" so it doesn't sound like things went well.
If they did though, sweet, can't wait to see it.

Im thinking there'll be a bit of a run up to a million then slow down a bit.

I wonder if you can start a Kickstarter to crowdsource money to hit a certain pledge tier in another Kickstarter project (like if you wanted Dudebro in this new game [50k])...

If they wanna "justify costs" or whatever I don't even care if they do that. The new look thing on the MIs were kinda ugly, but they let me turn it off so no complaints. Just throw the rom dumps gog's way and they'll make a nice little dosbox package for it. All they have to do. It would cost them all of the money of the bandwitdh of sending them the file. Gog has the audience already that would buy it. It's practically free money.

well, they kind of did the same thing, on a much smaller level. they got people to pay upfront for all the episodes before they'd finished the first episode even, so they funded later development with good will purchases, essentially.
Yeah, difference is they always show something before taking preorders.

It's really funny (or sad) when you compare activision's beginnings and now.

I'm not even a fan of point and click adventure games and I'm gonna donate $15-$30. I absolutely love this concept and hope it succeeds. Shit like this is what the industry needs

I assume that this game that they are making is Ron Gilberts secret game he has been working on since joining Double Fine?
Which means that it will not be a rushed game developed to prove a point. Instead it will be a project that already has much pre-production made, and is based on a concept Ron Gilbert has had in his mind since Maniac Mansion.
And that now has more funds available that they actually needed.
That is........awesome.

I keep refreshing DF's Kickstarter page to see how much money they've earned. I'm so amazed, I'm really interested in seeing them break $1 million.

The rumour was Gabe. Notch with two $5000 donations.
Gabe, Notch and Felicia Day chipped in 10k each.
I wonder how many of those people are going to add themselves to Giant Bomb's database.
Gabe and Felicia Day apparently donated 10k didn't they?
Shit, I hoped they would talk about Psychonauts 2 in that meeting.

Sometimes it can work out well for them, though. Depending on their relationship.
It's only 11:00 on the West Coast. I'm sure it'll hit 1 million.

They are personally meeting up at GDC to talk about it more. Psychonauts 2 will probably end up happening and with Double Fine now knowing they have a lot of fans they could probably due another kick starter if Notch's money isnt quite enough.
I don't think so. The payment is through Amazon and they don't accept paypal.

I'd support that for sure.
yeah, nobody needs rockstars, slaves are more obedient.
I would give money to this project right away as well. Probably more than I gave to DF.
Monkey Island and Planescape are like my favorite games ever.

Chris Avellone and the old Black Isle dudes might be able to make this work. Interesting that he piped up about it.
If Obsidian Kickstarter project = Old School RPG; Donate
If Obsidian Kickstarter project = Spiritual successor to Alpha Protocol; Get 2nd job
I would also contribute to that project, but I would hope that any money in excess of the projected development costs would go toward QA and bugfixes.

This would do so much more than an internet petition.

I like you.
And damn, I don't even know what to think anymore. Close to $1 million on a single day... Absolutely no way to predict when is this going to start slowing down.
