kickstarter:

Our second million dollar project. Tim Schafer’s project just passed $1M in funding, in less than 24 hours, from more than 26,000 backers. That is incredible.

So I’ve never actually played ay Tim Schafer games - though now I think I may have to, but I have been following this project (and the rumoured Notch backed Psychonauts 2) and it’s amazing. This is genuinely really exciting just as an alternative fundraising model for gaming (that clearly can work). Will be fascinating to see what this fundraiser will lead to now that they’ve tripled their target in a little over 24 hours (It’s past $1.2 million).Also great day for Kickstarter!
