So, apparently, Tim and the others at Double Fine are planning on making a new adventure game. But instead of going for a publisher, they're asking for funding from the fans themselves!

Yes, Yes, YES! Tim Schafer, you're a goddamn legend. They've already reached their goal and I was happy to donate still.

Great idea for Double Fine to do. Really hope large companies and publishers don't start pulling this. I could see it being the new Limited Edition.

I'm impressed that they got over 500.000 dollars in the matter 9 hours... It's crazy.

I decided I didnt wanna eat today and pledged 15 bucks for it. Can't wait to see what they come up with.

Big win! Glad they got it, with plenty of time to spare. It mentions in the kickstarter page that any additional money will go towards making the game better. By the time the end comes around, they can pretty much add what they want.
