Double Fine Productions have raised $355,301 in one day from donations to help them create their next game. The campaign is aiming to reach $400,000 and only has 33 days left to hit its target.

If you’re wondering who Double Fine are they are the people behind old school point and click games Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango. Tim Schafer, who recently spoke about Psychonaughts 2, will take control of the game.

“Over a six-to-eight month period, a small team under Tim Schafer’s supervision will develop Double Fine’s next game, a classic point-and-click adventure. Where it goes from there will unfold in real time for all the backers to see,” reads the project page.

“2 Player Productions will be documenting the creative process and releasing monthly video updates exclusively to the Kickstarter backers. This documentary series will strive to make the viewer as much a part of the process as possible by showing a game grow from start to finish, with all the passion, humor, and heartbreak that happens along the way. Double Fine is committed to total transparency with this project, ensuring it is one of the most honest depictions of game development ever conceived.”

People that invest in the game can win things too. If you donate you could go for dinner with Schafer himself, meet the development team or even get made into an in-game character.
