Notch offers to fund Psychonauts 2.

[Token]

Yes. Good.

Did you love Psychonauts? Have you often wished for a sequel that would continue Raz’ adventures? You’re not alone. Psychonauts creator, Tim Schafer mentions to Digital Spy that he’s pitched Psychonauts 2 several times to different publishers, but “no-one has taken the bait so far.”

“I’d love to do that game,” he says. “But I’d have to convince someone to just give me a few million dollars, that’s all.”

A few million dollars? If only there were some sort of successful indie developer. One who loved the original, someone with the kind of dosh to prop up development on a sequel. Perhaps someone with a nice hat and a name that rhymes with “scotch.”

Enter Notch. After reading about Schafer’s attempts to nab funding for Psychonauts 2, he put forward an offer of his own on Twitter. “Let’s make Psychonauts 2 happen, adding later in a tweet to RPS, “I’m serious.”

Tim Schafer hasn’t responded yet. He’s probably in bed, and it’s just an offer for now, but what a great story it would be to see Mojang funding a second game in the much-loved Psychonauts universe.

While I will commit heresy in the second paragraph, here I'll just say "WHOOOOOO!"

I don't think it'll be as good as the original. It might turn out to be really good, but with all the expectations people have, as well as how long ago the first one was released.... The first one was also good because of how out of right field it was - there were all sorts of terrible games, and then there was a game about a psychic summer camp. It might be a Duke Nukem Forever thing.

I literally can't stop giggling. Notch has literally become my most favorite rich eccentric person.

And before you say he isn't rich or eccentric, I point to you two things:

1. Minecraft's sales figures times 10 = his money
2. He just offered to fund a game for millions of dollars cause he wants to play a sequel.

This is why I couldn't have that much money, it would all be gone because I would just do this with it

I want more Grim Fandango ((

This makes up for his next two Reddit spergouts at least.

Four, if it actually happens.

Why would you read those?

Why would I run a minecraft server?

Why would I post on NPF?

Why anything I fucking do with my life.

Bile, hate, spite, and a smug sense of self superiority?

What I love most is Notch is doing what I hope any successful game developer does, help out other developers by offering them a ride on his big boat made of money. As opposed to what most do and basically just sit on it.
