$430,000 already raised. Make the game, after you blow a tonne of it on cars and crap.
No, Gabe Newell according to various sources.
Gabe, Notch and Felicia Day all donated 10k
Notch decided he just wanted the art package though.

How awesome would it be to pledge them money that surpasses them OVER 9000!!!! Over $1,000,000, hella awesome to me, get there stat, I need to pump $30

That's incredible how fast the money is being raised. They should do this for Psychonauts 2 as well

If only we could do this for a Beyond Good and Evil 2...
Or Shenmue 3. But that would take a LOT of investors, haha.

You didn't read how he's willing to pay Double Fine to make the game? Apparently they're in talks about getting it going.
WHAT!?
Amirox is late to the party.
I wake up. I read this. I think "Hey, I'd contribute to that!". I look at the site. They're already there.
Holy shit, that was effective. I'll probably still throw some money their way (wondering if I'm tempted by one of those posters), but glad to see it was a success so rapidly.

He is talking to Tim about heavily investing a lot of money to fund Psychonauts 2.
Guessing you missed that yesterday?

I think this is pretty amazing and I'm sure we'll see more kickstarter projects like this for games gamers want but don't seem profitable for publishers. Imagine the possibilites.
It's just a shame that many old teams of amazing games had people who are not in the business anymore or are scattered.
I'm still deciding between 15 or 30.
Non gaming, but kickstarter related:
A few weeks ago I found out about how kickstarter launched the production of miniature retro style figures (like the oldschool Monster in My Pocket series). All the designs and sculpts were made by forum users and voted on by forum users.
The result: http://octobertoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/omfg1group1.jpg
As a kid who loved Exogini's and Monster in My Pocket I think this is really awesome and I'm looking forward to the 2nd series.

agreed lol
The news yesterday came out of nowhere and to go from that to this in a day means there is A LOT of stuff going on in Double Fine land
Looking through earlier in the thread...
I'd love to see a graph of how the money came in over time. And yeah, you guys still have Europe to come!

Sweet, I guess this is just the testrun for financing Psychonauts 2. End of the year we'll be pledging toward that sweet baby...
We have Notch to finance that

And then the wave of general media coverage (podcasts, for example) in the coming week. This thing still has legs.
Europe is definitely donating hard, I had a shower and the total went up by 11,000. This will break a million within the week.
I bet it'll break $1 million within 24 hours of this thread being posted.

Will be donating $100 to this magnificent project.
Now if only Garriot would start a kickstarter run for the next (single-player) Ultima ...

What is funny is that this probably was a test case for Kickstarter for even bigger projects (like Psychonauts 2) and it was a weird coincidence that Notch was like "YO WANNA MAKE PSYCHONAUTS 2" on the same day. It is obvious they had planned out this Kickstarter for a while.

You're not the only one to think along those lines: http://www.1up.com/news/double-fine-adventure-game-donating
Well, even if you don't want to donate extra money, $15 for the game + documentary + beta of the game + developer's forum is really fair.

Holy fund raising Batman! Tim got his goal in like 8 hours and about to hit half a million!
Glad I'm apart of it, donated my 15 dollars, can't wait to see what the actual game is.
Twitter has blown up between Notch and Tim, Notch thankfully confirmed it's not Psychonauts 2 as they will discuss that at GDC, their banter with fans has been cracking me up. Both those guys seem really down to Earth.

True, i might go for that. Pledges over 15$ are pretty much donations tho. Great deal for DF. Why go for loans if you can pledge for free money?
Again, i don't want to complain, since i really want to see this game, but the whole kickstarter thing in general is a bit... onerous in my opinion.Foliorum Viridum

If people are willing to invest more in to a project they feel passionate about I don't think there's much room for controversy. Tim and DF have a certain connection with the gaming community.
Not many people could pull this off - you certainly wouldn't see people doing it for EA etc!
Hell no. Because once you become beholden to stockholders, you become EA. I want Double Fine to make the game they want to make, and not be focused on maximizing their profits.

I would do it if EA would spend the money on making another Alice game.
lolol. He's great.
