Very interesting.... I bought Psychonauts on Steam but haven't played it yet. If a sequel does get green lit, I might have to start playing the first game sooner.

Yeah, but a proper console game (not XBLA/PSN) must cost like at least $10mil to develop and I'm not sure Notch would be willing to give that away. Also, that figure is all revenue and doesn't take into account taxes, overheads and whatnot. Notch needs money to develop his own games too! I agree with your last point that Mojang could kickstart development before a bigger investor came in.

Can't wait!

This would be super cool. Even if it's downloadable. Consider my interest piqued.

Go Sweden!

Go for it but I won't play it.

Oh god...OH GOD!
This would be so awesome. Notch I love you.

I haven't played the first (yet), but I'm happy for all the fans who have been clamouring for a sequel ever since. Now if we can just get Notch to fund a current-gen sequel to Okami or Viewtiful Joe... Preferably both.

This is beautiful. I love seeing fans (albeit rich, successful ones) making a project happen, when the big studios won't.

Alright, lets do this.

I was thinking about picking up the tab myself, actually, but since Notch seems to do it... I do it next time, promise.

...this fuckin WEIRD!

@jedge: Throw in Godhand and I'm all in!

If this happens i will buy minecraft!

Cool. These dudes must be even more wealthy than I thought. Funding a port is much less expensive than funding the design and production of a new game for consoles... Unless Psychonauts 2 ends up an iPad game or something.

I really hope this happens the first game was great i still have my PS2 copy as well as a Steam Version with achievements, such a shame it didn't get the credit or sales it deserved for the sequel to arrive much sooner.

Let this happen. LET THIS HAPPEN.

I need a new pair of pants. God DAMN I hope this actually pulls through!

Who would write it do you think? Wolpaw is Valve-only now, right?

So lame how he asks on twitter. Don't these guys have employees that contact each other to negotiate these kind of deals? Pretty cool anyway, I didn't care for Pyschonauts but I know a lot of people will be excited.

Time to fire up the original again. Hurray for Notch!

Please please please please please let Psychonauts 2 happen

Notch is so cool for doing this.

@Foil1212: If there was a company who'd be cool to let their writes work on outside projects, it'd probably be valve. So there's hope!

Is this something different than the Kickstarter project?
