Gravity Falls is amazing for me. Alex being involved anything videogames is just great for me.

Psychonauts 2 Announced (Crowdfunding on Fig, PC/PS4/XB1, UE4, $3.3M goal--funded!)
- Thread starter HUELEN10
- Start date
Nothing's been confirmed yet. It's just a suggestion some people made on Twitter. Do you really hate Gravity Falls that much? I don't think it's that far removed from Psychonauts in its style or tone, and the camp connection is obvious. It's a fun cartoon with some occult and supernatural overtones. I wonder how different it would be if it were on Adult Swim instead of Disney.

I like Hirsch a lot but I don't think Psychonauts needs him. Maybe if Wolpaw wasn't coming back, but he is. Tim and Erik did a great job last time, and Tim seems extremely jealous of his writing role. He's always finding a way to mention the writing in the game, for which you can't really fault him. So, for better or worse, I think he's too proud to let a third writer come in.
But they might collaborate on a different project. Or I might just be wrong. I'm curious to see what Hirsch does next.

There's always that Psychonauts VR project. I think Wolpaw is just collaborating on Psychonauts 2.
Hirsch's involvement would help boost the profile of the VR game, which would in turn give the PlayStation VR a boost, since it's an exclusive. Since Sony is providing funds for the game, they could pay Alex a decent salary as well, given that it would benefit them to get him involved.

That's a really good point! I have to admit that Rhombus of Ruin is only a blip on my radar since VR makes me queasy, but I'll be following it more closely when it's nearer to completion.
Wait, you can't stand Gravity Falls?
Man, there really is every possible opinion somewhere out there on the internet.
Gravity falls is great, and considering the tone and setting might be literally a perfect match.
If you dont like it that's fine, but even you have to see one fits with the other.

Man Alex would be perfect for DoubleFine and Psychonauts, now I'm gunna sad if it doesn't happen ;_;
Anyone else wonder if that bump in funding yesterday was related to Alex Hirsch's tweet? Even if it wasn't Alex himself, maybe a wealthy follower of his saw the responses and decided to pitch in some money to help the campaign. It's highly coincidental how the bump occurred shortly after Alex made his tweet.

This announcement got me finally install and play through my GOG copy of the game. Just beat the game 100% yesterday.
I had something funny happen during the final platforming sequence. There is a twisted ladder and I assume you are suppose to climb it, but I ended up sliding down the ladder the entire time, even when the ladder goes up.
I hope this makes it's goal. I want see what can be one in a sequel.

I'm pretty sure it's designed to slide through the whole thing no matter which way the ladder turns. Gotta go as fast as you can to beat the
watery death of a clock
Anyways, awesome that the announcement made you get through the game! I imagine there's quite a few Gaffers with unplayed copies sitting about.

Don't forget to get your Christmas Shopping Steam achievement today, peeps~
Achievement total between Basic Braining and Christmas Shopping is 49.2 percent, just need a bit over .8 more from either to unlock some goods.

Just buy something in the Camp store while it is the 25th of December (you can apparently change your system-clock if you missed it).

Still thanks.
By the way, how many people here have watched Mystery Kids? It's a fan-made crossover featuring characters from Psychonauts, Gravity Falls, Coraline, ParaNorman, and others:

I realize they probably didn't color it because of time/budget constraints, but the art style is pretty cool by the standards of fan productions. It has a Westernized manga feel to it and does a good job of assimilating the characters from different series:

Nice! *high five*
Double Fine has set certain "goals" that will unlock video and certain stretch goal content for the game. One of them is to have the achievement for amount of players that have completed the first stage, "Basic Braining", be over 50% on Steam.
As a Christmas special they were adding Christmas Shopping to the accumulation for the goal.

Was your file created before there were achievements added to the game? Files created before that point only have the PSI Rank achievements unlocked at boot, everything else has to be done by hand.

Looks like this is rocketing towards the finish line! Amazing to see. I think they'll comfortably finish over 3.5 million when all is said and done. With 15 days to go they might even hit 4 million. Fig actually turned out to be quite the masterful choice as half their funding is in investments as opposed to crowd funded backers. Quite genius really.
Really glad this has become a success. It's an amazing, much loved cult classic so a sequel by the original creators is more than welcome.

we might still see it be a bit slow but the last 10 days usually pick up a lot. Either way, it's happening
There's a new video out. Updated the other thread:LittleBigPlanet with 3 MM members (including Alex Evans)
