On a note related to the story above, a
tweet from Friday by Obsidian's Chris Avellone asks about interest in a Kickstarter project, pointing to
their blog as where to register interest. Apparently this was quite high, as
a follow-up tweet says they needed to reconfigure their blog to handle 1000 hits per second following the query (thanks
Develop). Word is:
All of Double Fine’s success from Kickstarter has been inspiring.
I GUESS PEOPLE LOVE THOSE CLASSIC ADVENTURE GAMES AFTER ALL.*
The idea of player-supported funding is... well, it’s proof certain genres aren’t dead and sequels may have more legs than they seem. And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.
Out of curiosity, if Obsidian did Kickstart a project, what would you want to see funded? (You can respond in comments or to @ChrisAvellone on Twitter, whichever you prefer.)
* I only use all caps for sarcasm and shouting. And for the Think Tank in Old World Blues for comedy value.

This man knows what's up. I would gladly Eternal Sunshine myself to re-experience PS:T for the first time... and since that doesn't seem to be possible, I would gladly pay money to purchase a software title that comes close to recreating that magic. |
