That's some crappy design, some ridicilous stuff and all around doi.

In short; guy needed 400k on kikstarter for project(that was the goal, the game, the point), got 3mil, now has run out of money(becuse he designed too much sh*t in) and needs 400k more so is now planning on some pre-order stuff or some such.

This all while he had a second kickstarter running for a second game. Stop giving this man money ffs, he's the Shamalamadingdong of games.

He made Grim Fandango. For this reason alone he can do what the fuck he likes. If he has a vision and it needs more money then ffs somebody give him more money.

Like i said, shamalamadnigdong of games. He has failed to produce anything worth mentioning after psychonauts yet people lick his boots and throw money at him like he's a designing god.

His -vision- needed 400k. That was the plan. That was the kickstarter. Since he got over 3mil from it, he failed horribly with his own design. If you can't make the game you planned with a 7.5x budget, then what the f*ck are you doing?

If Molyneux did this, or if EA said this, this same exact stunt, he/they would be ridiculed over the net. Schafer? Oh no, don't say anything wrong about our deity

He wants to be Jack Black far too much.

I'm struggling to understand how a point and click game can cost 3mil...

schager is a genius, but the fact he had to turn to kickstarter to fund game developments says it all tbh. the big publishers wont work with him unless he alows some spotty bean counter cunt to dictate him.

just a shame really that the best peeps in gaming development dont have a bottomless money pit. think the whole Ueda & Team ICO and last guardian fiasco is what every publisher whants to avoid. sony just got lucky with ico and shadow of the collosus

as peeps who love games we should be happy that these guys spat out some defining games in the past. and leave it at that and dont throw away money on kick starter

Maybe he should have got Ron Gilbert to design it so that he stayed on after completing The Cave.
