Why does he need money to make a game to sell for money?
If you pledge $15, you get a copy of the game. The problem you're talking about doesn't exist in this particular situation.

Bah, it's not like Notch is a total loony. He's just a goofball.

Man, I'm a poor motherfucker and I still want to donate towards this. I'm literally so poor I haven't been able to afford Trenched or Stacking.

I feel like starting a kickstarter project. It'll be called "Please Give Me Money Because I'm Hungry"

Joking aside, all this kickstarter business has me curious. I've been working on and off on a record, my first project as a producer and it's coming along quite well. Has anyone here actually used Kickstarter before? I'd really like to fund the record and, you know, get it mastered, printed, buy gear I've been unable to afford. That sort of thing. I'm apprehensive about using it though because it seems like it's geared towards projects that already have a following or a reputation (such as, you know, Double Fine's impeccable reputation). Is it possible to use it to fund projects even if you're a unknown commodity like myself?
The existence of the Arkh Project suggests that, yes, it is.

You know, I'm all for a kickstarter, but the whole "You get to see the game before its made" sounds like a terrible idea.

Maybe make a documentary and show us when the game is out, but I would imagine I wouldn't appreciate Grim Fandango and Psychonauts if I knew everything that was gonna happen before I even started playing.
