Double Fine Returns to Kickstarter With Amnesia Fortnight Game Jam

The campaign hands voting power to backers to pick prototypes and funds a documentary while using a symbolic $100 million stretch goal to promise Brutal Legend 2.

Overview

  • Double Fine launched the Amnesia Fortnight 2026 Kickstarter to run a community‑voted game jam, produce a documentary, and fund prototype development under its new small‑game label.
  • The campaign lists 26 short pitches that backers will narrow by vote to four prototypes and then choose one winner to be polished into a small release published by Double Fine Action Labs.
  • At the time of reporting the Kickstarter had raised roughly $250,000 toward its initial goals, leaving it far short of the far larger stretch targets.
  • The page includes a $100 million stretch goal that Double Fine says would trigger development of Brutal Legend 2, a publicity‑heavy pledge widely treated as symbolic given Kickstarter’s historical funding limits.
  • The project follows the studio’s recent return to independence from Microsoft and signals a shift to public, crowdfunded development that foregrounds community control and transparency.
