Obsidian Entertainment's new fantasy role-playing game franchise is now the most-funded video game on Kickstarter. As of this writing, Project Eternity has raised $3,568,295 with more than eight hours to go.
That’s not even counting the money the developer has been given via PayPal, in addition to the normal Kickstarter method. The current total puts the project a few hundred thousand dollars above the previous record-holder, Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Adventure.
As Eurogamer explains:
Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Adventure previously held the record having raised $3,336,371. Brian Fargo’s Wasteland 2 raised $2,933,252. (Android console Ouya is still way ahead with $8,596,474 raised, but it’s not a video game.) Pledging your support for Project Eternity not only helps the game get made, it also reserves you – for $25 – a cheaper copy of the final game.
