Though Double Fine helped-popularize Kickstarter and the current donation-based crowdfunding-with its record-breaking campaign to make a new “Double Fine Adventure” game, which would eventually become the first part of Broken Age, the developer will combine seed money-from crowd-investment platform Fig with private-funding from an unnamed financial partner and-some of its own cash to create its budget. The company has already-gathered the-money needed to fund-the game, but Double Fine will continue to take individual investments through Fig until the campaign ends on January 12. “Every dollar we make goes into making the game better,”-Double Fine founder Tim Schafer said in a video thanking campaign backers, “giving us more time to polish and make the game great. Because we don’t just want to make Psychonauts 2, -we want to make an amazing, amazing Psychonauts 2 .” Related: Hands-On: HTC Vive-Pre In Psychonauts 2 , players will once again control Razputin — Raz, for short — who, having completed his training, goes to Psychonauts Headquarters.
