Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter project by Double Fine [ended, $3.3 Million funded]
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
yes
Heheh. He's not going to get any sleep until it hits 400. The game has now been funded. Now it's time for the documentary.
I would fund a Kickstarter'd PC Monster Hunter for an outlandish sum. A truly outlandish sum.

Yeah. They've got enough money and a kickstarter would probably backfire on them.
Had Clover Studio still been around, they on the other hand might see some love.
Inafuking could probably pull it off now that he's away from Capcom.

Donated $30! It would have been $250 but I'm currently moving from Japan to America so I need all the money I can get.

Guys and girls?
I'll put it more simply. Can you increase your donation after the fact?
Edit: Sorry, just seen
"What if I want to change my pledge?
You can change or cancel your pledge anytime before Tuesday Mar 13, 8:00pm EDT."
Don't worry Notch has us covered.
this stuff will work worse for companies that used to screw their customers and don't have a nerd cred. CD Project RED could do it, Valve could do it, Runic games could do it, some small team could do it, Volition could do it but if you treat your customers like they are walking banknotes you won't get this kind of support. Finally having a direct contact with your fanbase on the internet pays off.
I mean there will be some crazy fans who would support Megaman's development, but there will be a lot of people who won't trust Capcom their money as they won't be sure that they won't be screwed with some money-grabbing watered down game in the end.
You mean Psychonotch 2?
They're saving Brutal Legend: Director's Cut to be the Steam preorder bonus for Psychonauts 2.
BELIEVE!

Not that I'm not going to donate BUT can only the backers see the documentary or will it be made available for all?
And if every backer gets a code for the game their won't be much of an audicence left for it to buy.

I would not be surprised if it approached $1 million.

$1,000,000.

A Double Fine release on Steam shouldn't have any trouble selling copies.
Consider another scenario, though... A developer does this, but plans their budget such a way that they wouldn't need to sell many, or even any copies. They'd have what it cost to make the game plus plenty more, and all the "real" sales would be pure profit for them. NOW you're thinking with crowdfunding. Hell, World of Mass Development takes this one stop further by promising to pay back the people who fund their game.
x2. I'm imagining this game on an iPad 3, with its rumored quad-core processor and 2048x1536 screen. <drool>

The last part maybe true, but I expect the funding of the game will include salaries for the employees, so they won't go without. And they're not having to give a return to investors on the project as we're already getting the game.
haha uh-huh

I was thinking more along the lines of "So, do you really want Megaman Legends 3? Okay, the goal is $500,000"

I think they anticipate that there won't be much of an audience for the game, it seems they just want to have another crack at the genre without going in the red, which this method allows.
If they did this for Legends 3 I would not be upset at all lol

why? first. many people wait to see if it is good. Second, not everyone knows about this. And if nobody buys it this won't be a problem, just usual business with a publisher when the team gets funded for development and sees not a single dime afterwards.

I thought it was only those who donated $15 or more get the game. Anything below that is just a donation. Wouldn't make sense to give everyone a code just for giving $1.
Cheers
No problemo. After donating money, just go to "My Backed Projects", click "Double Fine Adventure" and finally "Manage Your Pledge". After this you can increase or decrease your amount and choose whether or not you want to get more rewards as well.

Wow. 325k. I'm constantly surprised, even though I should be at this point. This has only been going for roughly seven hours, no?

Last I heard, at roughly $50,000 an hour, they would make a little north of 40 MILLION
