Overview
- Double Fine launched the Amnesia Fortnight Kickstarter on Monday, Aug. 31, and the campaign has already neared its modest $400,000 goal with the page open through Sept. 30.
- The campaign sells paid voting power to backers so they can choose among 26 team pitches, narrow those to four prototypes, and pick one to be polished into a small published game.
- Hidden in the stretch goals is a $100 million promise to make Brütal Legend 2, which Double Fine has reiterated on social media with the comment “We aren’t joking.”
- The studio says a Brütal Legend sequel at that scale would need the whole team’s long‑term focus and major funding, a prospect complicated by recent staff cuts and a smaller post‑independence runway.
- Industry coverage notes the $100 million target is extraordinarily unlikely to be met on Kickstarter — the platform’s top projects have raised well under that amount — but the pledge has already boosted publicity and community debate and will be chronicled in a documentary by 2 Player Productions.
