Double Fine revealed some new details about the classic point-and-click adventure game who's funds were generated on the Kickstarter website.
The game itself will not carry any DRM restrictions and is set for release on the PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and certain Android devices. The game's budget will also be increased to create a larger game than originally planned with voice acting and more languages supported for in-game text.
Anyone who donated $15 or more to the project will receive a beta invite which will occur on Steam and revealed at a later date.
Notch from Mojong also updated his status of potentially helping with the funding of a Psychonauts sequel by stating he will meet with Tim Schaffer during this year's GDC convention. He also wanted expectations to be adjusted for the potential sequel to prevent too an overboard in hype in case the project doesn't get done for his and Double Fine's sake.
