Double Fine Adventure 10th Birthday Binge
10 years ago this month, we launched the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter - a crowdfunding campaign that would set a world record, and forever change how we would seek to fund our games, while paving the way for other games to be funded similarly.
We wanted to raise $400k to make a teeny adventure game with a small tem and also fund documentary film makers 2 Player Productions to film the process and share the journey. By the end of the campaign we had raised over 3 MILLION DOLLARZ, which meant we could create a much bigger and better game, which would eventually become Broken Age. You can play it today on a multitude of platforms, and it’s even available on Game Pass.
With the scope of the game increasingly dramatically, so too did the scope of the documentary, which was broadcast episodically while the game was being made and quickly established itself as the most honest look into the process of video games development the world had ever seen. To this day it remains just as unique and insightful as ever, and every episode is available for free on our youtube channel - and on this very website in our DFTV section!
Let's Birthday Binge!
But hold your horses and clear you schedules people! This weekend, for one weekend only, we are going to broadcast the Double Fine Adventure in its entirety, from Saturday morning until sometime late into the night on Sunday.
We’ll be airing the Blu Ray Edition (that’s is on sale right now for $5 btw) which compared to the Youtube edition has higher resolution, sexier colors, and all the spoilers un-blurred. We’ll also be airing sidequests 1-16 which take a deeper look into the stories of individual Double Fine developers, along with both 2012 and 2014 Amnesia Fortnight Game Jams, which happened right in the middle of Broken Age's development.
Once it’s all over we’ll start from the beginning again and air all 20 of the main episodes again, but this time with developer commentary!
Whatever you were supposed to be doing this weekend, call your friends and tell them its cancelled. Better yet, tell them to hot-tail it over to your place and bring their sleeping bag and all the caffeine they can fit in it, so you can watch all weekend long together.
