    Awesome. I love the idea of using something like this to fund a game (although not sure how it will work in all cases). I would probably help out, even if it wasn't involving Schafer/Double Fine. Video is great too.

    Curious to see how this turns out. They seemed to have raised a lot of money so far. Hope that continues.

    Where do you see $20,000 at?

    I see over $90K. Basically $100K during the first few hours of posting this I think?

    edit: There. Over $100K now. Basically jumped $10K since I originally posted this (~10 minutes?).

    If there's any game that deserves a sequel, it's Psychonauts.

    Wow. :eek:

    I went to sleep shortly after my last post in the thread. I woke up expecting to see a good number (given the rate things were going), but to have already surpassed the goal amount? Crazy...and awesome.

    This is awesome. I hope this type of approach can catch on. Would be neat to see what kind of products gamers could get when unencumbered by publishers getting into their business.

    So you're saying we're going to get the gaming equivalent of the smash-hit satire Springtime for Hitler?

    It's going up about $10k every 10 minutes. Incredible. At $854k right now. It was at $620k when I went to lunch at 12:20.
