Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight Kickstarter

Hi, I'm Tim Schafer of Double Fine

Productions.

And for the first 19 years of our history, Double Fine was an independent game

developer. Then we spent seven years as part of

Microsoft.

We were forced to make propaganda pieces to support our parent company's massive

investments in the lighthouse and pottery industries.

But I'm happy to say that Double Fine is, once again, fully independent.

Our amazing and creative team has already put together a fresh batch of game

pitches that we're taking on the road and sharing with potential funding

partners.

Ah.

How do we get paid while we're pitching?

We have runway money.

And the runway's long enough?

Of course it is.

To help extend that runway, Double Fine is getting back to doing the things it

does

the best: game jams, documentaries, and crowdfunding.

Oh, my God.

Yes.

Of course. We're launching a new Kickstarter

campaign,

Amnesia Fortnight 2026 Indie Reboot.

Great idea, Box.

Amnesia Fortnight is our semi-regular game jam where everybody at the company gets

to pitch a game, and then we split into four small teams

and make four of those

games in two weeks.

The difference this time is that if you join the Kickstarter,

you get to vote on

which of the four games gets developed.

Then, when the two weeks is over, you'll get to vote on

which of the four games

gets a little more polish and then shipped out as a real product

under our new

label for smaller games, Double Fine Action Labs.

And of course, 2 Player Productions will be filming the

whole thing so they can

make another amazing documentary about our team's creative process.

And we'll be live streaming it every day so you can follow along as it happens.

So please join us on this next great chapter of the Double Fine adventure.

Back our Kickstarter and help us pick the first four creative

steps we take on the

pathway back to independent game development. Thanks for watching.
