[Jocchan]

Today we made history ladies and gentlemen.

1 MILLION DOLLARS in less than 24 HOURS

I still can't believe it.
This is a fucking game changer.

 

[wrowa]

This is so awesome.

They are going to have to translate the game into 35 different languages just so they can spend all of the money :lol

 

[Ultimadrago]

WOOO! Go Tim!

 

[Jasoneyu]

Holy crap 1 million, when I woke up this morning it was only 600k.

 

[Vire]

We better get an iOS version!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

This is like Livejournal breaking in the late-90s!

We did travel back in time!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Time for a title change. The campaign is basically over now. :lol

 

[DJMicLuv]

One million dollars!
Bwahahhahahaaaa!
Kickstarter is suffering too.

 

[keit4]

Wow, this is great.

 

[LiK]

[Acosta]

[Dragoon En Regalia]

AND LIKE A BAT OUT OF HEEEEELL I'LL BE GOOOOOONE WHEN THE MOOOOORRRRNING COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMES!

I had to change my avatar just for this occasion, so I can reference Buckaroo Banzai while Tim and Ron go berserk at the office!

 

[Corto]

I need a cigarette now...

 

[The Wizard]

Holy shit. 1 MILLION DOLLARS!
Congratulations to Double Fine and Tim Schafer! This is now my most anticipated game of 2012.

 

[morningbus]

 

[linko9]

If it hits 2 million they'll be obligated to make it twice as good, right?

 

[Zoibie]

Simply incredible. I love the internet sometimes, congrats Tim and the Double Fine crew!

 

[inky]

1 million...

in less than a fucking day.

 

[louiedog]

They now have enough to get Nolan North to voice every character.

 

[Carl]

I think Kickstarter needs to earn $1million now...

 

[RazorEdge]

After many 500 errors, the page finally loaded for me... $1 million as of 6:43!

[Leonsito]

 

[Keyser Soze]

NO RTS in the game! Wooooooo

 

[JABEE]

Time for a title change. The campaign is basically over now. :lol

IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!!

 

[Lissar]

Oh no, site died D:

I'm part of the problem *hangs head in shame*

 

[Orayn]

They now have enough to get Nolan North to voice every character.

I say they have Nolan North voice half the characters and Steve Blum voice the other half.

 

[Akia]

I love PC gaming. It's the place where you can sell 26,000 copies and be a rockstar.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Only on the internet -- wow. So so good, so ready for this now. If they need more time to make the best game possible, by all fucking means.

RECORDS WILL BE BROKEN

 

[The Friendly Monster]

This is absolutely phenomenal, well done Double Fine.

It's certainly going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Developing in the open is going to be really tough I think. I have to say I'd rather not see how the games I play are made.

What are the rules regarding what Double Fine have to do with the extra money?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!!

Basically, this.

 

[LiQuid!]

Anyone have any clue what kind of cut Kickstarter pulls out for fees and shit?

 

[Vire]

 

[Flunkie]

This is crazy.

 

[EatChildren]

Only ~26,000 people required, up front, to fund a $1,000,000 game budget.

 

[Lime]

Perfect

 

[BoboBrazil]

Use the extra money for Costume Quest 2. Thanks But seriously, where is Costume Quest 2?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What are the rules regarding what Double Fine have to do with the extra money?

It's theirs.

 

[SovanJedi]

Ladies and gentlemen... the Point and Click Adventure game genre is NOT dead.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

1 Million !!!!!

 

[Garcia]

Only ~26,000 people required, up front, to fund a $1,000,000 game budget.

Absolutely mindblowing indeed.

 

[D4Danger]

today is a good day.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Anyone have any clue what kind of cut Kickstarter pulls out for fees and shit?

7.6%.

So, in reality, the game's budget won't actually be $1 million. Right now, it's close to.... someone else do the math please?

 

[NZNova]

This all just feels a little weird to me. So if this game makes massive profits, none of the kickstart "investors" get any dividends, right? I mean, this is a commercial endeavour from an existing entity, right?

 

[Carl]

Has it actually stopped? Or is KS just completely broken?

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Awesome;

So what are the predictions?

33 more days = 3 Million total?

 

[Mama Robotnik]

I contributed just as it went over the million. Can't wait to see the outcome of this.

I bought Psychonauts very cheaply and played the game to its conclusion. Its a work of joy that game, the Godzilla, RISK, bull-chase and phantom-of-the-theatre levels in the second half are incredibly well realised with varied stories, art, music and gamplay styles.

The "Milkman" level is one of the most stunningly surreal and funny concepts in the entirety of gaming! That segment is just long enough to keep you begging for more.

Contributing to this project leaves me satisfied, as I feel that I am thanking them properly for Psychonauts. If we get a game out of it that's comparably good then I'll be thrilled.

 

[Hot Coldman]

IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!!

Well, yes. "It" has. Their original ambition has well and truly been met, haha.

What happens from this point on is scary and exciting and groundbreaking and, hopefully, as fun as the last 24 hours have been.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

We get to make history and receive cool incentives for backing the project. Who needs profit when we get an inside look at the game's development and some of the crazy shenanigans that take place at Double Fine routinely?
