Kickstarter-Funded Planescape 2 a Real Possibility
Article by James Cottee - Sun Feb 12, 2012 11:28am - 13 Comments
In light of the spectacular success of Double Fine's crowd-sourced Kickstarter-corralled initiative to fund an all-new old-school point-and-click adventure, Obsidian Entertainment creative director Chris Avellone has put the word out that his own studio could soon launch a similar project.

Popular suggestions so far include a sequel to Planescape Torment, Beta Protocol, and a modern remake of Darklands:

Choose, and perish.
All of Double Fine’s success from Kickstarter has been inspiring.

I GUESS PEOPLE LOVE THOSE CLASSIC ADVENTURE GAMES AFTER ALL.*

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. And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.

Out of curiosity, if Obsidian did Kickstart a project, what would you want to see funded? (You can respond in comments or to @ChrisAvellone on Twitter, whichever you prefer.)
Avellone is still taking suggestions, both at the official Obsidian forums and via Twitter.

Readers are invited to list their own Obsidian dream projects in the comments.

Cheers RPS.
