Backed Psychonauts 2.

 

I admire your optimism.

 

This is probably not the thread for it but: why?
Double Fine is an experienced studio that has made a lot of great games in the past, why wouldn't they deliver now?

 

1) The funding they have for Psychonauts 2 is less than half what they spent on Broken Age.
2) Space Base DF9 is still on sale on Early Access, despite their having expressly abandoned it's production.

In recent years Double Fine have shown a great deal of willing to over sell their projects. Not as bad as Peter Molyneux, but still enough that I would never put money down without a finished product.

 

1) It's not. I presume you've only skimmed over the project description (and didn't watch the video), because the "Money" section clearly indicates the budget will be at least that of the original Psychonauts, $10m. (which is significantly more than that of Broken Age btw)

2) It's not. The game is not in Early Access any more but fully released, so no one is tricked into thinking it's still in active development.
I won't disagree that supporters of DF9 when it still was in early access have every right to complain though. The whole situation was a bit of a cluster**** for everyone involved. I can somewhat understand why DF made the decision to cancel further development; unexpectedly multiple publishers cancelled projects they were working on at nearly the same time and if they had continued development instead of focusing their resources they could've gone bankrupt.

 

Totaly agree, also wonder if some devs do actually need to go to kickstarter at all.

 

Our Television stopped working, so we bought a new one. First 4K Television i've ever watched and it's like a whole new experience. Everything is so smooth to watch, and HD content is upscaled slightly.

Putting the gift voucher xmas bonus from work to good use...

 

Only needed a 16mm spanner, couldn't get one on its own so thought I'd get a set with all the missing ones

 

That's my life lesson as well - never just buy a single spanner, buy a set so next time you don't have to buy a single!

 

True an holding a giant 32mm spanner makes you feel like a kid doing meccano again

 

Had to borrow a 32mm spanner this weekend to take the tie rods off my Caddy!

 

Somewhere in this thread someone bought a decent multi output USB charge station that a few others had already.
I'm in need ifconw, what was it because search us coming upo empty?

Edit, nvm it was an Anker.

 

32mm is small were my 50mm gone

 

If the weather and view doesn't come with it, I'm sending the lot back...

 

At my Dad's cousins garage they've got a spanner that I couldn't even pick up it was that big!

 

That's no way to talk about Dave the assistant mechanic.

 

...And when inevitably the exact spanner you want from the set disappears, buy another set.
Then eventually you'll end up with a set worth of single spanners all from different sets.
