Not following this news, I actually thought this was ABOUT Amnesia. Thought these were the prototypes for Amnesia 2.
Spacebase DF-9, Black Lake.. etc. I was getting excited xD
Now I'm not anymore. -_- |

RollinThundr Apr 17, 2013, 12:25: Eh really tossing stuff like that in there only to get your panties all bunched up. If you really want to call that trolling sure.
Mr. Tact Apr 17, 2013, 12:33: Pretty sure that's the definition of trolling... |

| I, too, like df and gave money to the kickstarter and humble bundle. But fair warning: these are really prototypes full of holes and not really playable for longer than 10 minutes or so. The documentaries are awesome though and that alone worth the money |

As much as I like Tim Schaffer, Ron Gilbert, and the team at Double Fine... I'm a bit more conservative about giving up cash. When They complete the Kickstarter Adventure Game... I will be happy to support them more. Or, if you had donated during humble bundle, when they were hosting the live streams, hosting the daily documentaries, and hosting the finished prototypes, it could have been yours for about a buck 
BTW, if anyone did do that, don't forget to watch the finished daily summaries, they are quite good:

They do this every year. Yep, and they budget for those 2 weeks every year, and schedule things so that those 2 weeks every year are taken into account. I very much enjoyed watching the daily videos of that 2 week process. Some businesses do a company wide retreat, DF does a company wide creative juice jumpstarter. Basically they operate similar valve for 2 weeks, working on whatever they want. People get so psyched up and so into the projects, they work weekends and late nights during that 2 weeks, even knowing they will never get reimbursed and the game they are working on may not ever get sold. As additional benefits, they try to pitch these prototypes to publishers and a number of their previous games have come from amnesia fortnights like this (stacking, costume quest, iron brigade are among them).
Also, DF has multiple projects going on simultaneously. They budget and schedule each one independently. I was impressed by how they knew ahead of time for the adventure game it was going to go over schedule/budget at their current scope/pace, and were trying to change things in advance. That kinda evaluation is HEALTHY and ALL software companies should be doing something like that. A lot of kickstarters and first time companies, they only figure out that stuff after they've run out of money and its too late.

Taking a break and working on other projects for a short time is a great way to jostle around those creative juices. By selling this, I wonder if they are hoping to put some of that money into Reds. A lot better than doing another kickstarter.
They are working on other stuff than Reds. For instance The Cave just came out, that was done by another team. This is also good for everyone to let all the different double fine teams work together.
Lets not be like publishers and get too concerned with the micro details - that's not why we have the privilege of being allowed to see those micro details. Obviously they were too ambitious, but I'd rather wait and get something better.
As with Reds, I think I am more interested in the footage than the games lol. |

Ok, now I'm starting to get pissed.
'Give us money to make game X', that I get. What I don't get is how all this other stuff is being made and with what money. From the trailer they split up the entire company into small groups to make separate OTHER games for 2 weeks.
They do this every year. |

Remember... that was supposed to be out in October. I understand the scope creep, so I'm not really complaining... but at the same time, I feel they need to make good on that deal, before I continue support.
Maybe I'll buy this after the Adventure game is done. |

I..I really want that boxed set...I'm not really sure why because I have no interest in the content...I think I just really like this company and want to give them money.
How do they do that.
Maybe it's the brick walls, I definitely dig their office.
Are you watching their documentary for the adventure game?
It's not too late to buy-in still and watch the first 7 episodes (and 6 side episodes). http://www.doublefine.com/dfapay/ |
