DoubleFine's Kickstarter Proposal

[Varrok]

Maybe it's not that about the idea alone, maybe the presentation wasn't good enough to encourage ppl to pay

[OANST]

They said that the more money they get, the more platforms they'll port it to. So, given that they've almost hit 5x their goal, you may be in luck.

I would like to think so, but it's probably impossible. Microsoft doesn't let anything that isn't made using their indie game software on their service without a publisher, and for Microsoft to consider you a publisher you have to meet many requirements (one of which is having a significant amount of money on hand). Double Fine is self publishing this, and have so far been unable to convince Microsoft to consider them as a publisher. I know this because Microsoft removed Psychonauts from the XBox Originals store when publishing rights reverted back to Double Fine. Double Fine has been trying for almost a year to get it back on, and so far has been unsuccessful.

[MeechMunchie]

Microsoft really suck. Just putting that out there.

[OANST]

I agree in principal, but I still prefer playing games on the 360. At this point, it's probably just because that's where all my shit is.

[MeechMunchie]

Fair enough. I've got no interest in giving you a load of arguments you've heard before.

[Sekto Springs]

They've reached 2 million, and still going strong.

[DarkHoodness]

Damn. What kind of adventure game would cost that much to produce?

[Varrok]

Full Throttle, according to Tim (including current inflation)

[OANST]

Full Throttle cost 2.2 when inflation is factored in, so yeah. It's expensive to make games.

[Dynamithix]

35 minutes!

[Sekto Springs]

I thoroughly enjoyed that.

[Dynamithix]

An update!



Edit: Oh and bloopers from the first video about the project:

[Dynamithix]

Last update.

[Xavier]

Almost too late but I did it! I'm getting the Special edition box!

[OANST]

$3,445,355.00. Pretty good haul.

[Wil]

Fuuuuuuuck.

[Xavier]

Procrastinated too much?

[OANST]

I thought I should mention that I now know things about this game that the rest of you don't. Why is that? Because I'm a backer, bitches.

I know something you don't know.
I know something you don't know.

[Varrok]

Who cares? If anyone doesn't know it, he'll see it later.

[MeechMunchie]

I should mention that I don't really care.

[OANST]

But doesn't my knowledge just drive you mad?


It's not very interesting anyway. I just know how the money broke down. I also just wanted to post something to alleviate boredom.

[MeechMunchie]

I don't play many adventure games, and the only Double Fine game I've particularly enjoyed is Psychonauts. You just have fun supporting a company that you like.

I refuse.

[MeechMunchie]

Well, I guess it's not something to be made light of. You're part of a very exclusive club, after all, of just 87,142 people. I'm sure your $101 made all the difference in their $3,336,371 total.

[OANST]

Have I mentioned fuck you yet? No? Fuck you.

[MeechMunchie]

Annoying MeechMunchie is truly a thing to be feared. Also, I've/we've been screwing up a lot of topics recently. I think I'd better be quiet.

I know that too. Knew it even before you posted about it. So nerrrr.

[OANST]

We're brothers in backing! How exciting for us!

[Nate]

Sorry, but I've got a boyfriend and we're monogamous.

[MeechMunchie]

As OANST's comment didn't specifically warrant that response, I predict a 3/4 probability that this is a recently escalated relationship which Nate is keen to boast about.
