Double Fine plan a second Kickstarter

Stacking (2011)

In an interview with Game Informer Tim Schafer casually mentioned that Double Fine Productions are considering a second Kickstarter campaign following Broken Age.

"All the risk is up front. With {Brütal Legend}, the first review told us we weren't getting rich off this. We were biting our nails because we had a half million dollar Metacritic bonus riding on it. Reviews matter because we have four teams and we're thinking about another [Kickstarter] project. We're not sure if people would be receptive, but inXile changed our minds."

He also mentioned that Double Fine hope to be able to assume all rights (distribution as well as IP) on games like Stacking and Costume Quest (distribution rights with Nordic Games following THQ auction) as well as Iron Brigade and Brütal Legend.
