thelovebat: That's exactly what I was thinking.

Tim Schafer should know better than to have subpar budget management. The whole reason so many people backed the Kickstarter was because "In Tim Schafer we trust. He won't fuck it up."

Double Fail?

Eh, Double Fine has always been on par for me with Chris Taylor and Peter Molyneux. Not saying I hate them, but I don't expect much from them either.

I wish both the backers and studio good luck with their ambitions.

darkangelz: Interesting reading.
Not a backer, but reading this makes me happy the Shadowrun returns team had someone in charge of what was in and what was out of scope of the budget.
Makes me wonder how many KS projects have proper budget planning.
a lot actually do.at least ones I've backed so far.only seen one kick starter that ran out of money and one other which has had multiple delays...

No way it would go towards Psychonauts 2. According to Notch who was originally interested in co-funding, Psychonauts 2 budget was projected as a "mere" 18 million dollars.

To be fair, if you gave Tim an infinite amount of money, he would make one hell of an adventure game.

The second half is supposed to come some months later for free. (for those who bought/backed obviously)

It's a really rotten thing to copy verbatim backer's only updates by the way. I hope you stub your toe this week.

do have to wonder where the 3.2mill went .all spent on voice acting????

Maybe they should have a word with Daedalic, they seem to be pretty much on the ball when it comes to these things. I know they have some publishing but from what I understand it they don't get big bucks for game production and they seem to put out one game a year.

I really wasn't impressed with The Cave though... it was far too dull and monotonous. Sure it had the personality but it felt like it was largely a fetch quest and whilst the individual areas showed some genius, I never felt the desire to go back and play through all the filler a second time to see the rest of the character's unique sections.

He didn't copy the whole thing though.

Actually, I'm not a DF backer. I copypasted this from another board I frequent, where it was posted.

By the way, it's not 3.2 mil. A good chunk of it was spent on all the kickstarter bonuses and whatnot. Plus another chunk on the filming project.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it's only like 2.4 mi
