Chris Avellone has Kickstarter fever, and the only cure is more cowbell AND your input. In a post over on Obsidian’s forums, Avellone has asked fans what game they’d like to see happen if, hypothetically, the studio were, hypothetically, to develop something using Kickstarter.
Last week, Tim Schafer and Double Fine turned the gaming industry upside-down and inside-out, after raising over $1.2 million from the public for their next project in just 24 hours. Today, the amount pledged is just under $1.7 million – and more than four times the amount Double Fine needed to fund the project.
Now Avellone, who previously worked on super-culty RPG Planescape: Torment, is getting big ideas of his own.
“All of Double Fine’s success from Kickstarter has been inspiring,” he wrote.
I GUESS PEOPLE LOVE THOSE CLASSIC ADVENTURE GAMES AFTER ALL.
“The idea of player-supported funding is… well, it’s proof certain genres aren’t dead and sequels may have more legs than they seem. And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.
“Out of curiosity, if Obsidian did Kickstart a project, what would you want to see funded? (You can respond in comments or to @ChrisAvellone on Twitter, whichever you prefer.)”
Unsurprisingly, Planescape: Torment 2 features prominently in the responses, with one person taking the concept even further with “Planescape: Torment in space, please.”
