Judging by your comments you weren't a backer, so here's an alternate point of view... > Yet professional is what's badly needed. Look at the Doublefine mess with Broken Age (massively over budget, massively late, massively under-delivering in every area). reply As one of the Broken Age backers, I think you're overly harsh on Double Fine. Personally, I feel I've gotten more than 10 times my money's worth despite Act 2 not being finished yet. You describe it as massively late, but is that fair? The original plan was "we'll make a flash adventure for 300k", but because of the large budget they changed that to "we'll make a cross-platform, voice acted, hand-drawn custom engine game with a longer schedule" and I'm okay with that. I got to see the entire design and development process behind the screen, which was super neat. I saw the hard discussion on decreasing scope vs delaying the game, the discussion whether to gut Act 2 or release the first part and use those funds to create an Act 2 worth of the original scope. I think the art, music and voice acting is gorgeous. The puzzles were a bit underwhelming, but everything I've heard is that the difficulty curve is better in Act 2. All in all, for the 15 (or was it 25?) dollar backing I feel the project was a great success, massively exceeding my expectations about what I'd get for the money.
