To back this campaign before Tuesday, March 13th, please visit: www.tinyurl.com... Tim Schafer shares details on Kickstarter Backer rewards, both old and new!
It's a good thing some of these video game campaigns on Kickstarter are reintroducing old school boxes, but I don't remember ever having to pay 100$ for them. This game made $3,336,371 of a $400,000 goal, so what's the problem on having a big box starting from the regular retail price of $60?
You can play the original GF using "Residual" on Windows OR Mac. That's how I finally finished playing it and it's great. Now playing Psychonauts and it's amazing.
@grimeshx well theres also the box package and poster. but yeah I guess youre right. (I thought when I wrote that comment that the art book was in that tier as well but that was a mistake of course. mustve misremembered.)
well the first game i bought for myself was monkey island 1. so now that i have sort of established a bit of street cred: one of the happiest gaming days of my life was when they got rid of the huge boxes! i hated them. /hides in bunker
this is gonna look great on my shelf next to my oldschool Space Quest cardboard boxes. \troll mode off \sincere mode on this is gonna look great on my shelf!!!
I gave $15 at the beginning of this whole adventure/venture. Is this awesome, old-school boxed version being given now to all contributors, as you've exceeded your wildest dreams on Kickstarter? Or is this something we need to pay extra for? I'm not being a smart-ass, I seriously didn't understand -- at least from the video -- if that box goes out to everyone, or, if not, how we get that boxed version of the game.
Will any of the stuff go on sale in the store after it's over? My parents don't want to give more than 15 bucks because "it's just supporting the same cause."
Not sure whether to like or dislike... I want to be a backer so much!!! See, I've even used three exclamation points to prove it (and spelled out the number three). Maybe if I write Tim a passionate creepy letter about how I love all his games tenderly, he might notice my worthiness of backer status... That's... that's usually how it works, right? Maybe also enclose a single crisp dollar bill with the letter and put it in a manila envelope. Wait, wrong game, I meant in a purple tentacle, honest!
I'm thinking of backing this, but I've never played an adventure game before so I don't know if I'd like it. Anyone got a prime example of an adventure game they would care to recommend I try out to see what they're like?
I pledged a 100 and it seems more and more that all of that money will go into presents that Ill get back again?? I should be happy about that I guess! but I hope some will go into the game and to the people making it.
the only thing i don't get is how they are still begging for more money. first they needed 300k, then with 2 mio, they said they would add bonus stuff (like translations.. yeah, the game itself is 300k, and the bonus is 1,7 mio?)... now they need even more. for an adventure game.. wow.. i mean, im a backer myself (mostly because i love to get "behind the scenes", not because the game itself - there are enough good adventures out there), but yeah. most of it probably is for private fortune.
@rck890 Yeah i must say normally i dont care SQUAT for boxes any more, but im also ALSO very very close to goign to 100$ to get a badass old school BOX ! :D
@jasondesante Yeah, but that would not be fair to the ppl allready backing? If you missed out, suit yourself. The backers should get more exclusive stuff than others. Im backing this cuz i love adventure games and belive in the idéa. I did not buy the game for 15$, i funded a part of the project and therefor i should get more exclusive stuff than those who aren't backing this or someone who "preorder" = Buy the game.
Can we get a nod to Monopoly in this game? I'm just wondering but since I'm officially almost past middle-aged woman (aka "Ma'am"status) even putting this query out there makes me feel, well, kind of nervous... Anyway, I always loved to buy a house on Marvin Gardens.
@chris71388 It's our money to do whatever we want with. Some people have supported this even without asking any rewards at all. Double Fine proposed an idea and we support it. Personally i'd rather pay 60$ for this and get nothing than paying the same amount to EA and Bioware for the corporate abomination called Mass Effect 3, but maybe that's just me.
