Tim Schafer's adventure into the world of ‘crowd-funding' will be over tomorrow, with his project already accumulating donations totalling $2,822,410, a significant amount of money most would agree.
Schafer's Double Fine Adventure has been an incredibly successful venture, though it remains to be seen if this is an isolated case. Tim Schafer is an enduringly popular figure within the world of video gaming; his whacky games a point of entry for many gamers. It seems likely that other, less well-known developers would struggle to make a similar impact.
If you want to get involved and make a donation then now's the time. There's only 32 hours and counting.
