This project may exceed the previous highest donation record on kickstarter, which that record was awarded yesterday to that iPhone dock. Kickstarter is really starting to make some money I see.

At this rate, this adventure game will also be ported to MS-DOS

Funny headline allusion error. It was a nice surprise to see that they were 100% funded in just 8 hours. I guess Notch's push made a big difference.

They're currently $300k over their goal. Amazing.

Can we get a Kickstarter project going for an open-engine, updated graphics, Grim Fandango?

As far as I'm aware, this is a completely different project from Psychonauts 2. I don't think Notch had any real significant involvement in this Kickstarter campaign.

I'm actually quite shocked that game publishers aren't lining up to give Tim Schafer all the money he wants. But I don't really know what's going on in that industry.

Notch tweeted this and got them some attention. Oh, and he pledged $10,000 to this project. https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/167551424396394496

There are actually more donation tiers, but they're not listed on that page because KS only goes up to $10,000. http://www.doublefine.com/news/comments/the_double_fine_adve...

Wow, I've never even heard of kickstarter. This is a space I'll be looking at!
