Not very long after adventure game legend Tim Schafer proposed resurrecting a long-dormant genre, and made a ton of money for doing it, another long-dormant kind of game – this time an 80′s RPG – did something similar.
German Marius Fietzek wants a job at Tim Schafer’s Double Fine, who are getting to work on a brand new graphic adventure game. To apply, he didn’t just send in a letter. He made a video game.
Double Fine’s record-breaking adventure game kickstarter has officially ended, closing out with $US3.3 million raised, as well as an extra $US110,000 from off-the-record premium backers. Great show, guys.
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.
With about two days to go on its jaw-dropping Kickstarter campaign, Double Fine’s next adventure game has acquired $US2.7 million in grassroots backing from fans like you. Double Fine’s Tim Schafer provides a little perspective on the size of the kitty.

This funny little video looks at the consequences of that…
Last month, Tim Schafer took to the internet with a very funny video for a Kickestarter funded game. The video pitch was a smash, and Schafer raised over US$2 million — well over the planned $US400,000.
Surely you all know about Tim Schafer’s incredible Double Fine kickstarter adventure, which has now raised $US2.1 million. Using the money, Schafer and fellow Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert will be making a new old-school-style adventure game.
In which he reveals the platforms Double Fine’s upcoming adventure game will be developed for, as well as the languages it will be translated into. Apparently, Double Fine got a bit more money than they expected, which means we’ll be seeing a few additional features.
