AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Olengie]

I'll wait till it actually comes out

 

[wwm0nkey]

I wouldn't mind a remaster of the first Psychonauts for consoles at some point.

They don't even have to remaster, game still holds up so well. Though some textures MIGHT next a slight adjusting

 

[Zubz]

I'm excited that we have a shot at Psychonauts 2 happening, but it's not even on IndieGoGo? I've never heard of this crowdfunding site before now. Either way, here's hoping it happens!

 

[overcast]

MOTHERFUCKER 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏😭😭

 

[purpletentacle]

18 bucks extra for the console version!?

I paid regardless, those Docs are worth the price of admission alone.

How about we talk about how FUCKING ERIK WOLPAW'S BACK BABY

The founder of FIG (fund indie games) is the ex-CFO of Doublefine.

 

[ghostjoke]

It's really nice when the video game industry surprises you and makes you smile.

 

[Cohsae]

Time to make it rain

 

[Infernostew]

Paging Notch!

 

[AmuroChan]

So are investments different that the reward tiers?

Yes, investment means I get a cut of the game's profit. I am a shareholder of the game.

 

[robotrock]

3.3 million, how does that sustain a team working in San Francisco on a current gen video game for three years? I saw the numbers!!

Where are they getting the undisclosed money from!!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

wait

is there seriously no lower tier that I can choose the console over the PC digital download?

Seriously?

Notch, in all likelihood.

 

[Hip Hop]

why the thumbs down?

 

[Vampire On Titus]

I've wanted this for 10 years ;_;

So beautiful.

 

[dangerskew]

Insta-backed the second Tim said Fig on stage. Backer #336!

 

[SpiceMelange]

Need about 700k sales to break even on your investment, and then you get 1$ per 69k of gross revenue. Not worth it imo.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

3.3? For Tim Schafer? When do you guess he runs out of money, like a tenth of the way through production and a year behind schedule?

Cool though, I actually just bought Psychonauts on steam so I guess this is some incentive to run through it again.

 

[Espada]

That is one HELL of a surprise, holy crap. I cannot wait for this, Psychonauts was a fantastic game that definitely deserved a follow up.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

YES!!!!!!!! I just........wow

 

[Gintoki]

Already at over $100k

 

[Rebel Leader]

The year of fucking dreams

Investors via Fig, like myself. My investment is on top of they get from crowdfunding.

 

[Persona7]

[GuitarAtomik]

It's been a long time since I audibly said "Holy Shit!" at my TV. Can't wait.

 

[kitschykitty]

erik wolpaw part of the video is great

 

[MGrant]

It looks like Double Fine ARE funding part of this themselves (about a quarter according to the infographic on the fig page). So about a $15m total budget, give or take, which sounds about right. Can't wait. I gotta get some funds into my US bank account so I can back it, too.

 

[UnluckyKate]

holy shit that megaton trialer

holy cow

holy crap

 

[liliththepale]

already 1000+ backers and $115K raised. Fuck yeah!

 

[Dixon's Jet]

I legit shrieked with joy.

 

[sn00zer]

Can we talk about how fucking great that trailer was?

 

[Vampire On Titus]

It's really amazing the legs psychonauts had over the years via word of mouth.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Me and my gf actually cried lol (We met over this game)

 

[HUELEN10]

Me and my gf actually cried lol (We met over this game)

Then you BOTH better pay up!

 

[Coffee Dog]

How about we talk about how FUCKING ERIK WOLPAW'S BACK BABY

I JUST NOTICED

HOLY FUCK :O

 

[Vamphuntr]

Good question! Below is a close approximation on how the investment will perform for every $500 invested*:

You will generally earn $2.50 for every $68,376 of adjusted gross revenue until $13.33M in total adjusted gross revenue;
Thereafter, you will generally earn $1 for every $68,376 of adjusted gross revenue, subject to certain deductions as outlined in the private placement memorandum available to yo

This doesn't seem like a good investment.

 

[Flunkie]

So, investing is interesting. Anyone checking it out?

 

[sn00zer]

d'ah

 

[Tripy73]

Fuck Yeah, finally best Psychogame return

 

[Canis lupus]

Cool, but 3.3m would get us less of a game than Trine 3, which needed $15M to be a full fledged 3D platformer.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Then you BOTH better pay up!

Already did! Super excited

 

[kurahador]

Me and my gf actually cried lol (We met over this game)

Time to put up 10k tier son!!

 

[AmuroChan]

So, investing is interesting. Anyone checking it out?

Yup, I'm the 22nd investor of the game.

 

[Rebel Leader]

I'll fund it tomorrow

 

[robotrock]

How about we talk about how FUCKING ERIK WOLPAW'S BACK BABY

Wait, so he isn't at Valve anymore?

 

[paragonpro]

Christ the dreams dont stop this year!

 

[SpiceMelange]

So, investing is interesting. Anyone checking it out?

Looked at it and it seem not worth it. They have to sell 700k copies at an average of 21$ per copy for your investment to break even, just then you will start making profit. Considering it took 10 years for Psychonauts to reach 1.6m sales and probably at a lower average $ per copy sold I'm not convinced.


I did pledge though, #77 backer. Psychonauts is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm overjoyed a sequel is finally there.
