If you pledged financial support during Double Fine’s now-legendarily successful Kickstarter campaign, you probably already saw this video. But if you didn’t, now you get to.
If you even thought about giving money to Double Fine’s Kickstarter project for a new adventure game, you’d have seen that the minimum contribution was $US15. That got you a copy of the game when released, so it wasn’t a bad deal.
The crowd-funding for the upcoming adventure game project from Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Studios already broke all kinds of Kickstarter records weeks ago, when it reached its funding goal of $US400,000 in eight hours.
Despite the fact that Tim Schafer and Double Fine have totally smashed through their target for their Kickstarter funded adventure game, there’s still time to donate, which is why the team has created this pretty hilarious video to try and convince Germans (and the Dutch) to cough up more dough. So Tim Schafer can buy a yacht. Apparently.
[UPDATE 11:00AM -- Less than 24 hours after its creation, the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter drive has broken the $US1 million mark. That’s well beyond Kickstarter’s 24-hour fundraising record.]
Tim Schafer sure is having a hell of a day. After asking the world to help his studio Double Fine make a classic old-school adventure game, he has destroyed Kickstarter’s records for having the fastest-earning page. As of this posting, they’re at $US875,000. That will change in mere seconds.
