Broken Age - Double Fine's Kickstarter Adventure Game

[RPGMaster]

Maybe he was inspired by one small studio's struggle against all odds and offered to do it for free?

No one's inspired by that! Samuel L. Jackson turned US down! And that dude turns down NOTHING!


Bt

You forgot what Smauel L. Jackson loves most in this world. Money.

Somebody actually guessed Elijah Wood pretty early on the official thread.

He's actually a big gamer, a backer, and has been a fan of the project since the beginning (Twitter evidence of that).

He might be doing it for cheap or free. Who knows.

I was impressed by Elijah in the VGX video.

He's one of the few celebrities that I truly believe to be a gamer.

That + doing Wilfred on TV has got him a very high post on my bro list.

Meh. Nothing beats Robin Williams and stories of him calling Infocom (I think it was Marc Blank?) in the middle of the night begging for hints to finish one of their games.

And calling her daughter Zelda.

I couldn't believe it. Robin Williams is such a bro. I'm sure he would do a voice acting for some promising adventure game.

He probably would want to voice half of the characters...on same sessions.

And calling her daughter Zelda.

Zelda as a name is a LOT older, though I don't think most people realise this. I do wonder if Williams did.... Wikipedia states he named her specifically after the game.

What is this thread about?

 

[Cyberarmy]

Robin Williams fan thread?

 

[Metro]

At least Robin Williams delivers unlike Derple Fine.

New update up, Schafer rips out an animator's heart and gets Wood. Nice tunez.

Happy Holidays, backers! The backer beta is mere weeks away!January 14! We can't wait for all of you to get your hands on Part 1—hard to believe it's about to happen. BUT IT IS. So get ready.

Everthing's looking pretty good. It was very interesting to see at the 7.30 point that artists have to watch out for a loot of things on a scene. How the props are placed, how many exits, hotspots the game have, how is the floor drawn.

I am so sick of the hiring of celebrity voice actors. Apart from some notable exceptions (i.e. Ron Perlman), they tend to be terrible.

Bethesda can't use celebrity voices properly. Obsidian used their celebrities quite well.

 

[Metro]

So is it going to take another two years for Part 2?

 

[nil]

Part 1 will sell so well, they'll expand part 2 into 2 parts.

 

[DeepOcean]

I thought Part 2 was scheduled for April.

Thursday, April 2015. Trust me.

Despite every thing, every criticism I have said about the way they manage their backers money, color me excited. I just hope it's not a 30 minutes game.

I doubt that. Tim said several time, that one of the problem they faced was that the game just grew and grew as he has written the plot. I think they even said in one of the documentaries that they didn't want to make a short game.

 

[Metro]

...they didn't want to make a short game.

Translation: we need more money.

 

[Excidium]

Not even Frodo can save this gay-ass thing.

 

[Frusciante]

Game looks good, very interested in how this is going to turn out.
