Double Fine Adventure / Broken Age: D’oh!
The gist of it is that somehow it turns out they need more funding to finish, and they’re turning to Steam Early Access to provide it, an eyebrow-raising move if you will recall they got about $3.3 million for an estimated budget of $400K and haven’t been paying much attention to the project otherwise.
If you are familiar with the shaky relationship between the risky nature of creative development and restrictive nature of budgets, though, that’s probably not the surprise, so much as why anyone would risk coming close to that when there is no publisher you can go to to beg for more.
