The Year That Was, Then Wasn’t: 2011

Guys. Guys. It’s February. And I think we all know what that means. It’s time for my unwaveringly untimely “Best of 2011″ post. You remember 2011, right?

Patronised Patrons

This is wonderful. Double Fine, they of Psychonauts and Stacking loveliness, have started a Kickstarter campaign to fund a game marking a return to studio head Tim Schafer’s point-and-click adventure roots, and a documentary of the process. At time of writing , six hours after Schafer announced the campaign on his Twitter feed, they’ve raised over three quarters of their $400k goal. Which is remarkable and excellent. This comes after Schafer mentioned in passing that he’d like to do a Psychonauts sequel, Twitter screamed “YES IMMEDIATELY”, and Minecraft millionaire Notch offered to lend a fiscal hand. This is the kind of relationship the internet now offers devs with their public.

Which makes most publishers’ and devs’ casual distrust of their customers, especially those with access to a modem, all the more baffling.
