Earth good sir. I live on earth.

It already is national news, it's not going to get any 'bigger' because video games (and more specifically adventure games) are only enjoyed by a fraction of the population at large.

Yeah, it's not going to have a second boom, but it's also not going to stop entirely. They'll cross 2 million, hell maybe even 3. But I don't see it going beyond that.

3 million dollars will make it one of the better funded point-and-click adventure projects in years though. Especially considering they already have a good deal of infrastructure in terms of engine tech and tools.

Apparently, Kickstarter had it's first million dollar project the day this hit a million dollars. In addition to the double fine one:

That's pretty sweet.

Tim is now marking their progress milestones using the budgets of games he's worked on. It has apparently now passed Day of the Tentacle and Happy Action Theater's budget, and is fast encroaching on Full Throttle's budget (1.5 million).

Grim Fandango's was $3 million.

From Chris Avellone's blog:

All of Double Fine’s success from Kickstarter has been inspiring.

I GUESS PEOPLE LOVE THOSE CLASSIC ADVENTURE GAMES AFTER ALL.*

The idea of player-supported funding is... well, it’s proof certain genres aren’t dead and sequels may have more legs than they seem. And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.

Out of curiosity, if Obsidian did Kickstart a project, what would you want to see funded? (You can respond in comments or to @ChrisAvellone on Twitter, whichever you prefer.)

* I only use all caps for sarcasm and shouting. And for the Think Tank in Old World Blues for comedy value.

Kickstarter Infinity Engine revival pls.

Grim Fandango's was $3 million.

Worth every cent.
