Support NeoGAF

[Carl]

Holy fuck it's just exploded lol

 

[Alexios]

Paging Notch?

 

[painey]

keep refreshing every 5 mins, coz this aint gunna stop

 

[outunderthestars]

Is it weird that I am more excited about the regular documentary updates and learning aboutt he overall process than the game itself?

Bad taste meet mouf.

Can you elaborate a bit more as to why?

 

[Vilam]

Wow, that number sure is going up quickly. It's fun to just refresh and watch.

 

[DDayton]

It's going to be a classic adventure with a modern touch, thanks to the use of newfangled technology. That's how I read it. The iOS version indeed seems to be not guaranteed, going by the FAQ.

"Modern touch technology" would imply a touch interface, which seems to not mesh well with it only being on Steam unless they get extra funds... heh.

 

[pirata]

Wow, look at that number climb...

 

[jett]

Seems to be pretty small, so quite a bit.

Yeah I guess, if by their own admission a XBLA/PSN title would cost several million. I hope we get info on the actual game soon enough. I wish them all the luck for this, Tim creates awesome universes.

Nope, me too

 

[Radogol]

Holy shit, looks like they're getting another grand each minute.

 

[Snuggles]

Interesting. I don't think they'll have any problem hitting their goal well before the deadline. I might throw em fifteen.

 

[Alexios]

I wonder what the price of the game will be if you can just donate $15 and get it at the end anyway, is that a super deal, or you pay more, lol. Just curious, I aint funding either way, dunno if I'll like the product yet. Glad others are though.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Time to put your money where your mouth is, GAF.

 

[Dartastic]

I'm going to go get a burrito. When I come back it better be at 50k.

 

[Metallix87]

If I had $150,000 to donate, I most definitely would.

 

[GillianSeed79]

You know what would be awesome, and I'd gladly pay $100 for this, if all the contributors were listed in the special thanks part of the credits. Getting a Double Fine adventure game is enough though. But just imagine credits where 30 minutes of text scroll was thanking individual fans instead of the typical list of everyone in corporate who had nothing to do with the game but answered the phone once for some VP of Brand Marketing in an office in Shanghai.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Someone pledged $1000. Wow.

 

[Vilam]

Oh damn, someone just backed it for $1000. Shit is getting real!

 

[Feep]

I'm down. Sequence was partially funded by Kickstarter, and I'm absolutely going to use it again.

 

[V_Ben]

Someone pledged $1000. Wow.

Holy shit. This is getting rather exciting.

 

[Kuran]

They need 400k to make a classic-style adventure game?

Seems a bit much. I hope it's 2d.

 

[Poyunch]

Man I kind of want to donate $100 but I don't have the spare cash to do it. x_x

 

[Lissar]

I don't have much I can give... but I'll give $15! I love these guys, and it would make me proud to say I was able to back them on this project.

 

[outunderthestars]

Time to put your money where your mouth is, GAF.

Agreed. This is one of those rare moments where everyone who complains about dudebro games can throw in a few bucks to make a clear statement to the game publishers out there that we want more variety of games, and are willing to pay for it.

 

[Madrugador]

Tim, I love you man. I get paid on friday so I'll see with how much I can help, promise.

 

[classicdms]

I'm not even a fan of point and click adventure games. Just never played all the old school LucasArts stuff.

But Tim Scafer can sell me anything. Pledged 30 bucks.

 

[scitek]

They raised $20k in 30 minutes? Jesus.

 

[jett]

Time to put your money where your mouth is, Notch.

fixed. where dat 150k donation at, minecraftman

 

[Radogol]

Those who pledge 100$ or more will be. Am I misunderstanding you?

 

[Mistle]

that video on the page was hilarious

 

[outunderthestars]

Man I kind of want to donate $100 but I don't have the spare cash to do it. x_x

Every bit helps. Even if you just donate $1 as a symbolic gesture of support it will help.

 

[Svafnir]

Christ, this thing is going fast...... I've always wanted my name in a games credits.... Hmmm, is worth the $100?

 

[Deleted member 81567]

This shit's like Louis CK.

I love it.

 

[Home]

30 dollars pledged! I'm not even a huge adventure game fan, but it's Double Fine and the documentary bits sound exciting.

 

[fallengorn]

A new Tim Schafer adventure game on the PC? I never thought I'd see the day...

 

[Jintor]

Over $100 is kinda tempting...

 

[outunderthestars]

20% of the donations have been for $100 or more so far.... That is incredible.

The Double Fine crew has to thrilled to see this kind of support from their fans.

 

[Jocchan]

I'm all in.

Look at those numbers!

 

[scitek]

I'd donate $30, but I'm in the middle of a PC upgrade. This and a $100 3DS (newegg giftcard) I'm passing on today. I feel like a bad person.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Do eet

 

[Kuran]

Did Notch promise to finance the entire game? Did he ever drop a number?

I bet he'll make a nice donation when he wakes up in the morning. Brilliant move by Schafer, he probably counts on Notch's peer pressure making him donate big.

 

[Feep]

They're making about $700 per minute.

 

[Yaboosh]

What kind of legal obligation does the person running the kickstarter have to fulfill what they promise?

What happens if they get their $400k but the studio goes under before they finish the game? The money is gone, spent. What happens then?

What about when it isn't a real game studio, and just some dude raising money for some invention he came up with?

 

[Raide]

Anyyone else sorta like the idea of a Point and Click adventure using Kinect? Seems like a perfect match tbh.

Well, there will obviously be bumps when this appears in popular places like GAF, RPS, whatever else in the coming days, I think it's still too early to tell if they'll manage the 400k. Though they'll probably go ahead with it even if it's just a bit less than that.

 

[ThusZarathustra]

Holy shi... this is ridiculously significant. And for so many different reasons. I love it.

Once it hits the top of the gaming subreddit on Reddit it'll go up crazy fast. I'd be surprised if it takes more than a week to get to 400k.

Then the donors are screwed. Kickstarter has no refund process.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Kinda high profile for a kickstarter campaign. Interesting.

$400k is nothing.

There's a guy on KS that has made 1.5 million for an idea about watches.

It was only a matter of time before a game studio that was not small did this.

It's awesome.

They're making about $700 per minute.

It's about to hit 88mph.

We're going to see some serious shit.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Wasn't this the sort of thing Gabe Newell was talking about a couple years back?
