I check Giant Bomb several times a day. Usually, it's the first thing I go to when I get up and look at my sites. Today, a particularly interesting headline caught my eye on the front page. It read 'Minecraft's Creator Offers to Fund Psychonauts 2' and made me laugh with just how odd, yet perfect an idea it really was.
This exchange happened via a series of tweets between Notch, the face of Minecraft, and Double Fine's Tim Schafer. Seeing as how Notch lives across the ocean in Europe, he posted these tweets very late at night for us U.S. residents. Tim Schafer noticed the tweets this morning and the two have supposedly gotten in contact with one another.
This is a fairly odd occurrence but it could happen. Notch has made millions off the success of Minecraft and seems like a fairly laid-back lifestyle kind of guy. There isn't anything strange legally about an investor funding a project like this. If the two came to agreeable terms, this might actually happen.
A sequel to Psychonauts has been talked about for years but the first one never did well. A private funder like Notch may be the only way this game can get made. I guess we'll hear more about this in the near future.
