As you probably know, Double Fine raised over a million bucks for a new point and click adventure game, and Notch (creator of Minecraft) offered to donate some money for Double Fine to make a Psychonauts 2, and I thought maybe the game will be a Psychonauts point-and-click adventure game? Just a thought.

A point-and-click adventure game from Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions, and the first huge success story for a game on Kickstarter, which firmly put Kickstarter on the map as a source for games funding.
Just thought of something...
That would be sad, Psychonauts shouldn't be a point-and-click adventure. I think the fans of the first game would be in an uproar if that happened.

Tim said via twitter that 100% of this game is being funded via kickstarter. so i doubt it.
Oh, ok.
And to the other people, I never said I wanted this to happen, infact I would be pretty pissed if it did, but I just thought it may happen
@supermonkey122: See, two factoids that you're missing:
1) Ron Gilbert. He's been with Double Fine since Fall 2010, working on his own game--apparently one that old-school adventure fans would enjoy. My thoughts are that he's been writing and concepting an adventure game, and Shafer is now grabbing a whole team to start producing it with the help of this donation.
2) The accompanying video proposal that 2PlayerProductions created conflicts with the Notch twitter updates. Notch and the whole twitter fiasco happened only days before this whole Kickstarter thing went live. The video released with this announcement was long, filmed on site, and looked to have a fair bit of a editing put into it. Taking into account, I'd say this whole ordeal began several months ago, at the very least.
I would have preferred Psychonauts as a point-and-click adventure. That Meat Circus level was pretty crap.

It's my understanding that Ron Gilbert's game is a separate entity from the Kickstarter project.
Also, the video that was put together wasn't that complex, nor was it that long. They could have put something like that together in the span of a single day.

bbad6394 Kickstarter is the only thing funding that project.
Well, Notch donated to Kickstater, so technically he is helping to fund it.
Edit: No, I don't think it's Psychonauts 2.
@Hailinel: Shafer has specifically cited Gilbert's involvement in this adventure game several times--both on Twitter and on the video. Moreover, I'm going to disagree with the video. It was clearly scripted, deals had to be made, and I'm sure at least a conference or two took place to figure out exactly how 2PlayerProductions would cover the whole thing. Especially when you consider their other involvements.
Ron Gilbert's game is a differnt thing than the kickstarter project. Also the kcikstarter thing had to be planed in advance, the notch thing was just a coincidence.
Im i the only one who does not want psychonauts 2, the first one stand on its own.
