Pledged $30. Just saw the numbers.
"33 Days to Go" :lol

The sad thing is, loads of people would probably give them money for it.
Maybe they'll make so much money they can grab the remainder and supplement Notch's pledge on Psychonauts 2 and we can get SUPER HD PSYCHONAUTS 2 for Wii U launch, Xbox 720 and PS4!
Believe!

So you do love Wii Sports!

Chipped in $30. On the fence about bumping up to $100. I bet my name would whizz by pretty fast with the number of $100+ pledges thus far!

I stay away from the internet for a few hours and they are about to break a million?
Go tim.
Go tim.
How about Silicon Knights and Too Human 2. Sadly I would probably give $30 for it....I liked it.
Over 2700 names in the special thanks part alone, so far :|
we want the credits to be as long as the Batman AC one.

Wow. You are a treasure.
Let's just forget the history of everyone involved with this project, and the fact that Double Fine releases worthwhile content on a more frequent basis than 95% of the industry, though. You're probably right. It's probably just a
to rip off everyone's money and run away to Borneo.
Okay, where is the design document.
Where is the budget sheet.
Oh wait, it's just a guy on your computer asking you for money.
You could always put it somewhere in your avatar like the 3DS ambassadors. Then everyone on GAF would know how cool you are
The credits are going to be longer than the game at this rate.
Going places.

Wait what?
Just a guy.
haha
You should try to do the same! People are obviously fools, I'm sure there are people there willing to throw money at you.

Haha
They'll need the extra $600,000 to fund the credits.

They'll make so much money that Psychonaughts 2 will become a 20 hour "mini-game" on a computer background of the most epic multi-million dollar adventure game every made.
Haha, well I tried to. I even did the stereotypical "get my family together on launch day and show them the wonders of waggling the horrific mii's around the screen" thingy:
PC too, yes of course. I'm so happy for Doublefine, though. Shows they have a really strong contingent of fans.

It'd be hilarious to play a point-and-click adventure and then have it go into an RTS section. I'd actually welcome it for the absurdity alone.

Is the point of services like Kickstarter really this hard for some people to grasp?
The fact that he is calling it a ponzi scheme make it preeetty clear for him it really is hard to grasp lol

Harmonix would have had 3 million by now
Wow! You really want to see how the sausage is made then? The budget is dependent of the money of the Kickstarter campaign. The design document will be released when the budget is fixed.

It only goes to show that, as much as people say they want drastic change, they really just want the same old shit. Or something.
Kickstarter, and services like it, are as close to the ideal way of funding a project as we're going to get.

dude i know. like, i got this email from a prince in nigeria. A PRINCE! IN NIGERIA!
The fact is that they are not being open with the actual costs that lead them to believe they needed $400,000. Now they've raised roughyl $600,000 more than asked and what do they say that means?
"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!"
Okay. Compared to what?
EDIT: I get it, people want a Tim Schafer point and click. That's great! I honestly don't think Double Fine is going to scam you. I saw $100,000 for documentary and and $300,000 for the game in the video. That finally registered in my brain 30 minutes ago. That's still doesn't say that "Hey, we need this much for food for the crew during this time, this much for salaries, this for electricity/plumbing/etc." It's just $300,000. No explanation.
Haha those credits are gona be a bitch.
Damn son. I bet you got a ton of money.
That made me almost double my payment.
it'll be like the LotR or Harry Potter movie credits XD
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I see this all the time in the industry. People like abuse. Doublefine is a great little company with real talent. I may not like everything they make, but I know they are capable of making things I do love and that they are a genuinely passionate development team with the right intent. It's similar to Nintendo in that way. I may criticize Wii Sports or Happy Action Theater, but I know it's the same company that can make a Mario Galaxy or a Psychonauts.
This is no ponzi scheme. This is progress. Let's do this Doublefine

It may interest you to know that people in this thread have already done the math on how much production on a game like this would cost based on the required positions (artist, programmer, etc.), average industry salaries, and the estimated development length. They came to the conclusion that a $300k budget was probably lowballing it.
sorry toymachine. It's a Kinect game, no fund from me
