Squee Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I know there are a bunch of classic adventure game fans here on WATMM so I just thought that I would let you guys know that Double Fine's Tim Schafer... fuck explaining it. Just watch this awesome video that was posted around 16 hours ago: [youtubehd]-pSteVDn78s[/youtubehd] Their goal was to reach $400.000 in 33 days but as of now (16 hours after launch) they're at $961.000! Amazing. http://www.kickstart...-fine-adventure *waits for someone to say "nuarrghh... they're not getting my money muahuru huuu huuu *insert retarded noises*" Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/71724-tim-schafer-is-making-a-new-adventure-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 So amazing:) so happy. I was suggesting psychonauts 2 might not be happening as this adventure game may take priority as major project.

Squee Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 His last adventure game, Grim Fandango, was amazing and one of the best adventure games ever so if it's just half as good then I'm more than pleased.

Guest KY Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I donated to this kickstarter without ever having played his games before—I just always wanted to try Grim Fandango out but don't think I can install it on a new-ish mac. :\ Anyway, looking forward to whatever the hell I donated to.
