Only yesterday we were bringing you news that the new concept iPhone Elevation Dock, we had featured here on Geeky Gadgets, was nearing the $1,000,000 milestone for pledges on Kickstarter.
Today, not one but two projects have now passed that milestone, allowing concepts to make the jump to production and setting new records. As well as the iPhone Elevation Dock, the Double Fine Adventure video game project based in San Francisco, being developed by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions, has also passed the 1 million pledge mark, with still 32 days left to go.
The Success of the iPhone Elevation Dock
The iPhone Elevation Dock has captured the imagination of many with its sleek design and practical functionality. This dock promises to offer a seamless experience for iPhone users, providing an easy and efficient way to charge and sync their devices. The overwhelming support on Kickstarter is a testament to the demand for innovative accessories that enhance the usability of popular gadgets. The Elevation Dock’s success story is a clear indication of how a well-thought-out product can resonate with a large audience, leading to substantial financial backing and the potential for widespread adoption.
Double Fine Adventure: A New Era in Gaming
The Double Fine Adventure project is another remarkable success story. This point-and-click adventure game has not only reached but surpassed the $1 million mark in pledges, and it did so in record time. The project was 100% funded in just over eight hours, showcasing the strong support and enthusiasm from the gaming community. With 32 days still remaining, there is a strong possibility that the project could reach $2 million or even more in pledges.
The Double Fine Adventure game is being developed by the renowned game studio Double Fine, in collaboration with 2 Player Productions. The game promises to bring back the charm and excitement of classic adventure games, a genre that has seen a resurgence in recent years. The development team, led by industry veteran Tim Schafer, is known for their creativity and innovative approach to game design. This project is not just about creating a game; it’s about reviving a beloved genre and introducing it to a new generation of gamers.
The success of Double Fine Adventure on Kickstarter is a clear indication of the changing landscape of game development and funding. Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter have democratized the process, allowing developers to connect directly with their audience and secure funding without relying on traditional publishing models. This shift has empowered creators to take risks and pursue projects that might not have been possible otherwise.
Let’s hope that Double Fine Adventure can go on to reach 2 million in pledges. After all, it was 100% funded in just over eight hours, so there is no reason why it couldn’t reach huge heights with 32 days still to go. Check out the video below to see the development team behind Double Fine Adventure introduce their new project.
