Tim Schafer continues his interview tour by
chatting with Kotaku about Double Fine's successful
kickstarter campaign and
the possibility that Minecraft's Notch would fund Psychonauts 2, something that's apparently resulted in some ongoing negotiations. He says that while the under two million dollars their Kickstarter campaign has raised would not fund a Psychonauts sequel, Notch did not flinch at the amount Tim thinks it would require:
"I was like, 'I don't think you can make [it] for a million dollars.' The original game was, I think, $13 million, I think you have to match the original game."
"As soon as I mentioned the amount of money he said, 'Yeah, I can do that.'"

Creston Indeed. Invest the shit out of it and use the interest/dividends to fund stuff. I think he's already burning through it. He's doing that collectable digital card game in an already saturated market and fighting beth for the name scrolls. He also mentioned in an interview he's doing 2 or 3 other unannounced projects at once now. Plus he's doing the minecraft to xbox port.
Funding a psychonauts sequel would be a wiser use of money IMHO. |
