Double Fine\u2019s upcoming adventure game, funded by community funding through website Kickstarter, will likely be an\u00a0 \u201cold school\u201d 2D adventure game.<\/p>\n
Boss Tim Schafer and veteran Ron Gilbert talked details in a new Q&A posted on the Kickstarter webpage.<\/p>\n
Schafer says, “One of the reasons I was excited about making an adventure game was working with Nathan Stapley who’s an artist who has a great painting style.”<\/p>\n
“One of the things I missed about the 2D graphic adventures is that you would be able to have a great artist expressing themselves directly on the screen; not having to go through 3D shaders or any other complicated technology that might change or alter their vision.<\/p>\n
“So I do like the idea of hand-painted backgrounds. Then it’s just a question of whether the characters should also be hand painted and animated.”<\/p>\n
Gilbert was on board, saying, “I think it should be all 2D. Old school.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I just think it’s a lot more interesting than 3D. 3D does buy you a lot but for a project like this, just doing something that really emphasises the art of the artist – I think 2D would really give us that.”<\/p>\n
Kickstarter is a website which gives a platform for people to request capital from the public for a project they want to do, be it film, video game, anything; usually with some kind of reward for the higher donators. Double Fine was asking for $400,000, but have managed to raise an enormous $2,111,425 instead.<\/p>\n
