Double Fine doles out more love to its backers

24 Feb, 2012, 17:53 | Posted by: MrManager

Double Fine's Kickstarter has kinda sorta stalled just shy of $2.1 million, although "stall" might be a bit of a negative spin when you take the amount into consideration. So how does one entice more backers? By adding more rewards!

This is how Double Fine is planning to reel in the last few doubters:

$30: Gets you a digital soundtrack of the documentary!
$60: Gets you a digital download of a book featuring concept art and other cool stuff from the game! Make it $500 and you'll get a hardcover edition.
$100: And holy crap, you can get a boxed version of the game and the documentary.

You're probably legally in a coma if that doesn't excite you.

Now watch this conversation between Tim and Ron, recorded in January, just to get the excitement level up even further.

I had to wait until now but just pledged $121 to the project :)
This entire concept is way too cool, the coming months are going to be awesome :)

Nathan's style would be really great for the game.

Tempting! However, I will not pledge more until I see some art for this game. Sure it's going to be awesome but I want a poster I can hang in my room (subtle, thats it). When we know a little more from the game I may increse my pledge to $100. Hope that's before March 30th

If you really want a bit of an idea about what the art will be like, why not go here: http://nathanstapley.blogspot.com/

Anyone have an mp3 of that interview? I'd love to take it to the gym with me.

That probably won't work. Tim clearly stated that no work on the project will be made before the Kickstarter is over, because a) planning will be strongly based on the final sum, and b) he wants all that planning to be part of the documentary (which also won't be started before the end of the KS).

You guys have no idea how hurting I am that I can't pledge extra now. :( I really need to scrap together some cash, ugh.

Just to be clear, the money isn't taken until the end of the funding period and you can increase your pledge at any time.

@Lagomorph: What MrManager said. If you really want to be sure, you can click "Manage your pledge" on the Kickstarter page for Double Fine's Adventure. From there you can change the rewards you want to receive.

Ah, fuck it... upped from $30 to $100 (+$10).

Clever move putting the boxed version at the $100-mark! That'll let many people up their pledges, I guess.

Well, wonder how long the spike will last...

I chose the $100 tier for the poster too. There's not two $100 tiers, thankfully. They just added the boxed copy of the game and a DVD (or Blu Ray!) of the documentary to the already existing $100 tier, so you'll get these two, plus the poster!

And you can always manage your amounts at any time before the kickstarter ends if you end up wanting to choose a different tier.

Hmmm. I'm kind of bummed now that I didn't wait a couple of weeks. I'd rather have a boxed copy then a poster anyday...

You'll still get the boxed copy if you already pledged $100.
