Awesome! Look at all the money it's pulled already. People love Double Fine.
There are no details about the game itself, but it does specifically say it would be a point and click, though one with a small team and what seems like a short production period. Still, it's been way too long since Schafer designed an adventure game, so this is exciting. I really hope it pans out.

Pretty much the most exciting gaming news I've heard since forever. Backed that one straight away 8)

What is more amazing is that they have raised 3/4 of the required funds in about 6 hours! Let's see what Europe can do.

Yeah, Kickstarter is pretty cool. Recently, Rich Burlew (creator of the popular Order of the Stick webcomic) wanted to raise money to put his older books back in print, and he raised 1000% of the amount he needed in little more than a week. Yes, that's one thousand percent.

LOL, I just looked at it, and they're at $392,000 out of $400,000 needed. 33 days to go.  

And, man, even Cookie monster approves this! I'm so backing it now!

And it's fully funded in under 9 hours. Well done to Tim & Ron & Double Fine!

$400,000 for a point n click adventure?

Should've used AGS 

[Secret Fawful]

Nearly at a half a million. It made 400k in eight hours. This is a slap to the face of anyone who ever said adventure games are dead.

[Layabout]

Woo! Half a million!

Who says they aren't? They might blow the whole budget on Tacos.
But seriously, feeling kinda warm and fuzzy towards the adventure game community right now!

[Scavenger]

Wow, this truly is amazing. Just on the promise of a new game, Double Fine raised enough capital in a single day to make it. I don't want to be presumptous, but this is promising on a wider scope than just this one game. It could be the blossoming of a whole new way of funding video games, as this proves it can be a resounding success.

I'll be sure to pick it up once it's hits stores! Screw it, pledged!

[Anian]

So if you don't have friends but have lots of money, $15000 is all you need. 

Well that's what you might call guaranteed sales, as in they actually paid up front.
