Not content in raising the budget for their new game in 8 hours and 11 minutes, and then breaking the Kickstarter records for most amount raised in a short timeframe, and then breaking the number of backers for one project, Double Fine have hit another milestone: Raising $1 million in less than 24 hours!
We can only speculate what this might mean for the finished game, but if money keeps pouring in, could we reach a budget large enough to create a game approaching the size and scope of one of LucasArts's classics? We can only hope.
Where will it end? With 32 days left to go, it's too early for anyone to tell!

Technical mumbo jumbo:
I removed the 2nd order polynomal trendline, as it didn't work well.
You now just have to predict the future yourself :)
I just think 2 million will be hard stretch.

Uhh, just what do you think the cost of the rights to a LucasArts IP would be?
Yeah, I know what you're saying... But a man can dream, right?

If the donations keep going at this rate, Double Fine would probably have enough money to buy the rights to Monkey Island from LucasArts! Bring on Ron's MI3 (I'm not anti Curse/Escape/Tales, it'd just be cool to know the secret :p )...
Exactly!
