Why doesn't Ron Gilbert just figure out how much it would cost to do his version of Monkey Island 3 and do a kickstarter for that? It would be successful beyond belief.

Disney currently own MI rights after buying LucasArts last year, so that is probably the end of that

Yeah, TenNapel is one of those guys whose personal opinions are absolutely something you never ever want to get near. Games are great, but everything else.....bleah.

Double Fine going back to the well (for an entirely different project)
― 0808ɹƃ (silby), Friday, 31 May 2013 02:54 (ten years ago) link
tbh I totally want the game that I imagine it will be, but considering the ship date is a year and a half from now and it'll reach its goal through the efforts of Other People I don't know that it's worth backing…especially since I've not been digging into the backer-exclusive Double Fine Adventure updates at all.

my first reaction was "man, so shameless" but after watching the video and reading the page it's well done... may back this one. no doubt it will be huge by the time it's all said and done (2 days and it's already 55% of the $900k)

not asking for enough money for the amount of staff they want to carry for the next year, too many physical rewards for a primarily digital product, not a particularly clear-headed risks/challenges section…smells risky to me.
