Double Fine's Kickstarter is well on its way to $2M
There's a great Tim Schafer interview over at Giant Bomb. He talks to Patrick Klepek about the now infamous "Double Fine Adventure" Kickstarter page.
Schafer made some happy waves not more than a week ago when a Kickstarter page went up when Tim was at the annual DICE summit at the Red Rock Resort and Casino in Vegas.
Kickstarter, for the un-Internet, is a website where folks can pledge to donate towards a special project - ideas that normally wouldn't see the light of day due to underfunding.
The pitch promised a new Double Fine adventure title, in the vein of the Monkey Island series which endeared Schafer and an era of point-and-click magic to the gaming community. Double Fine hit their goal in a short eight hours.
But the money kept rolling in.
In fact, on launch day, the activity on Double Fine's page crashed Kickstarter's servers. A good sign, methinks.
