What's past 10K? They tell me to go to the other site but they don't say. Cool idea, though.
So Tim Schafer is finally making another honest-to-god adventure game. Almost nothing is known about it except for the publisher: Us
More specifically: Kickstarter. ($30,000 already and the site went up less than an hour ago)
It's going to be a smallish point-and-click game with a projected minimum budget of $400,000 to be released in ~October. $15 gets you the full game and beta on Steam + lots of documentary footage of the game's development. There are all sorts of reward tiers over $15 so you should probably look!
They're also talking about an iOS version but it all depends on the funding.
There's a neat video on the site, BTW!

Pledge $15,000 or more:
Dinner with Tim Schafer and key members of the dev team.
Pledge $20,000 or more:
Dinner and BOWLING with Tim Schafer and key members of the dev team.
Pledge $30,000 or more:
Picture of Ron Gilbert smiling.
Pledge $35,000 or more:
Undoctored picture of Ron Gilbert smiling.
Pledge $50,000 or more:
Become an actual character in the game.
Pledge $150,000 or more:
Tim Schafer (that’s me) will give last four remaining Triangle Boxed Day of the Tentacles, in original shrink-wrap.” (Limit of 1) (Holy crap, what am I thinking? I only have four of those!)
And pledged. $15 for a new adventure game by Double Fine seems like a steal.
This is a great idea. Just donated $30.
Also, holy shit at someone already donating 5k!
I approve of both this endeavor and the means of going about it. $300,000 is an obscenely low development budget, but at least it's one they'll have no problem reaching. A new Tim Schafer/Ron Gilbert point and click is just too good of a thing not to get behind.

I think I'm going to go with $30 because a new Tim Schaefer adventure game is well worth that.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
No Mac version no sale.
Get a real computer.
Fools.
