The Game Awards 2015 Thread: Keighley's Last Supper

3.3 million is a pittance for a game like Psychonauts, and 2018 seems ambitious. There's no way this is the sole source of income, right?

From the Fig page

We’re calling upon you to help make this game a reality. And for that, we're asking for $3.3m.“$3.3m?!” you ask bewildered, "that sounds like 2D graphic adventure money! Surely that isn’t enough to make something as grandiose as Psychonauts 2!” Well, you are correct, you’ve seen right through us... are you sure you’re not psychic?

Yes, we do need more than that, as we've previously said we need to raise at least the same amount that went into making the original Psychonauts, which had a budget in the $10-13.5m range. In order to do that, we need to gather money from multiple sources.



Double Fine will be putting up a significant portion of the development funds ourselves, and getting another piece of the budget from an external partner. This Fig campaign will make up the third piece of the budget. None of these three parts on their own is enough, but together they add up to a sequel worthy of Psychonauts!

That's why we need your help! Your pledges will enable us to finally raise the budget we need to make the game we've always wanted to make and have been asked to create for years, and show just how much of a demand Psychonauts fans have for a sequel!
 
I like Rocket League, but it's literally the same thing over and over. Axiom Verge is probably going to get completely overlooked all around this year.
