Tim Schafer Turns To Kickstarter To Fund Game 
Brütal Legend Soundtrack Confirmed 
Two More Brütal Legend Gameplay Videos For You If you follow all-around funny guy Ron Gilbert on Twitter, you’ll have noticed that the beloved adventure game designer has been doling out sneak peeks at the playable characters that will be appearing in the game he’s making with Double Fine Productions.
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.
Today, I got a package from Double Fine promising details on the legendary Ron Gilbert’s new adventure game. But… I can’t figure out what it is! It just looks like a jumble of cardboard pieces. Maybe this was supposed to be packaging for the USB key they forgot to send? I don’t…. understand…
Just because Double Fine doesn’t have enough of your money already, Amazon is offering a pretty swell deal — selling Psychonauts, Stacking and Costume Quest for $9.99 on PC.
Turns out not everybody is Tim Schafer. Though the creator of Grim Fandango set Kickstarter records earlier this year, raising over $US3 million for his point-and-click adventure game, most crowdfunded gaming projects aren’t nearly as successful.
So it seems as though Tim Schafer’s studio Double Fine, of mega Kickstarter fund raising fame, has just uploaded a video on Vimeo. And, get this, it looks like an adventure game. This couldn’t be that Double Fine Adventure game everyone threw money at… could it?
When German adventure game nut Marius Fietzek applied for an internship at Double Fine studios by, well, making an adventure game, it seemed a cute touch, though a little short on hard selection criteria.
Crowdfunding platform Kickstarter is opening some amazing doors for indie developers. First Double Fine for an all-new adventure game and now inXile to get a sequel to Fallout precursor Wasteland underway. While Tim Schafer’s Kickstarter journey has, for the time being, come to an end, inXile CEO Brain Fargo is still riding the roller coaster. With his project currently sitting at over $US1.5 million, he’s enjoying the absolutely hell out it, so much so he wants to help other Kickstarter projects with a new initiative called “Kicking It Forward”.
