Over ten years have passed since the last numbered Baldur's Gate installment, and with nothing but the Dark Alliance side-series to tide them over (and even the last release for that was eight years ago), fans may be wondering if they will ever see another proper sequel in the Role Playing Game series begun by BioWare so long ago.

The Kickstarter for Tim Schafer's Double Fine Adventure project has concluded, and it's a resounding success. The final tally: $3,335,265 from 87, 138 backers.

When it comes to the world of classic point’n’click adventure games, there are few names as revered as Tim Schafer. The man helped bring us everything from Day of the Tentacle to Grim Fandango. Since that time, he’s been off doing his own thing at his own studio, Double Fine Productions. And while Double Fine has brought us plenty of great games (including the recent Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster that my kids can’t stop playing), Tim’s team has never gone back to revisit the classic days of point and click fun. At least, not until now.
