I'm totally over the moon about this, although I get why not everyone might be given the way some high profile gaming crowdfunding campaigns have gone over the years lol (including Double Fine's). But I just... really like Psychonauts, and never in a million years thought this would happen. After Notch considered it & found it was too steep an investment a few years ago, I'd completely lost hope for a sequel. They've got a high asking price, but at the rate the funding is going (~$600k as of typing this) I wouldn't be altogether surprised if they were at least a third of the way there relatively soon. It all hinges on whether or not (some of) that momentum can be maintained, I suppose. I really hope so, not just because I want this sequel but because it would also be solid proof of people's devotion to the original. As I recall it did so poorly when it debuted that it played a large part in sinking Majesco and nearly brought Double Fine down with them. That's such a shame given the game's quality, and I'm glad to hear that it's done a lot better as of late.
I always forget how odd this game's sales are. Back when it came out my gaming news was like 1/3 have I seen a commercial, 2/3 did Blockbuster have it. It wasn't until much later that I even knew that Double Fine was pseudo indie. Granted I didn't even know what an indie game was then, but whatever. I'm excited, but did they have to do this now? Christmas eats up like all my money. I already own Psychonauts 1 and I don't think I'll have $40 I'm willing to spend before this closes.
