Obsidian Entertainment, inspired by the success that Double Fine had in raising $1 million in less than 24 hours, is considering crowd sourcing a new game. Obsidian creative director Chris Avellone, who just happened to work on the cult hit RPG Planetscape: Torment, has asked fans for different Kickstarter ideas.
“The idea of player-supported funding is… well, it’s proof certain genres aren’t dead and sequels may have more legs than they seem,” said Avellone. “And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.”
“All of Double Fine’s success from Kickstarter has been inspiring,” he continued. “I admit, I’ve got Kickstarter fever now. I feel like a bunch of doors suddenly appeared in game development.”
