Double Fine is crowdfunding a game jam and will make Brütal Legend 2 if it hits a $100 million stretch goal

The details:

• The campaign has a primary goal of $400,000, of which Double Fine had raised $284,000 (around 71%) at the time of writing. The studio previously used Kickstarter to fund Broken Age, making this a return to a familiar model.
• The $100 million Brütal Legend 2 stretch goal is, by the studio's own admission, almost certainly a joke given current game development budgets. Double Fine reiterated on X that it is still working on bigger games and that the game jam campaign is a stopgap while it pursues funding for those larger projects.
• Brütal Legend, released in 2009, starred Jack Black as Eddie Riggs, a roadie transported to a fantasy world modelled on heavy metal album art. The game sold 1.4 million copies by 2011. A sequel has been discussed by creator Tim Schafer on and off for years but has never moved into production.
