If a crowd-funded game earns incredible proceeds, chances are, its outcome will also be a huge success.

According to TechnoBuffalo, the crowdfunding site Fig revealed that "Psychonauts 2" has already reached $2 million in their crowdfunding campaign with support coming from 13,646 backers alone. The immense popularity of the game can be seen from this figure, considering that it has been on the crowdfunding site only five days ago. The amount is expected to increase as "Psychonauts 2" still has 34 more days before it closes its campaign.

 

Achieving the goal shouldn't be that hard because according to GameSpot, 'Psychonauts 2" has already achieved 61 percent of its $3.3 million target. The game acquired its first $1 million in just 24 hours, so it shouldn't be hard to complete the remaining $1.3 million of the campaign. With over a month to wait, who knows how much the game will actually get?

The $2 million has been from different sources, mainly traditional pledges and investments. Unlike other crowdfunding sites such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter, Fig allows its players to monetize on the success of the game. So aside from enjoying the game's success, people can actually have an investment via the crowdfunding site.

"Psychonauts 2" is actually slated to have at least $10 million in budget but Fig reveals that the game already has some external partners that are readily chipping in on the said amount. Developer Double Fine has also put on most of the budget on the table so it shouldn't be hard for the game to start immediately.

So why did Double Fine choose Fig? Director Tim Schafer said via a separate GameSpot report, "We had a great experience with Kickstarter before, but there is always this feeling of some people were uncomfortable about us getting that money. They kind of felt like we got something for free."

The team has been contemplating on the "Psychonauts" sequel, and, now, it's gaining momentum because of the huge support from crowdfunding sources.

During the Games Awards on Dec. 3, "Psychonauts 2" was officially announced and developer Double Fine targets the year 2018 for its release. Psychonauts 2 will be available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
