IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Double Fine, known for Psychonauts and Costume Quest, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new game jam after ending its partnership with Xbox and experiencing layoffs.
- The campaign aims to raise $400,000 to create multiple experimental game prototypes, with fans able to vote on which projects get developed; it has currently raised over $275,000 with 29 days remaining.
- As a stretch goal, Double Fine has promised to develop Brütal Legend 2 if the campaign reaches an unprecedented $100 million, though this target is widely considered unrealistic.
- The studio is simultaneously working on larger game projects behind the scenes, with the Kickstarter funding intended to support its immediate indie development efforts.
- The Kickstarter features over 25 unique game prototype pitches ranging from tactical city builders and co-op adventures to party games and roguelites, inviting fans to contribute and influence which get made.
