Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight prototypes collected in $30 set
by Andrew Yoon, Feb 01, 2013 4:15pm PSTDouble Fine let fans see the madness of their annual Amnesia Fortnight game jam session. Over two weeks, the developer creates new prototypes. And this year, the public was able to vote on which ideas should be worked on--and eventually got to play them all too.
If you missed the Humble Bundle, or if you want a fancy boxed edition, Double Fine has announced a "Special Edition" box set of last year's wares.
Starting at $30, the boxed edition includes prototypes of Autonomous, Black Lake, Hack 'n' Slash, Spacebase DF-9, The White Birch, Brazen, Costume Quest, and Happy Song. In addition, you'll get a special Blu-ray of 2 Player Productions' documentary series, and download codes for everything, because discs are silly, right?
This is, essentially, the same content you would've received had you backed the campaign's original Humble Bundle. But hey, this package includes physical copies of the game, and discs are awesome, right?

DoubleFine only did it because they want to be more interactive with their fans. They want to their fans in on more of the process of what goes into making their games. And of course the cash boost doesn't hurt either.
So these prototypes may become full games, elements incorporated into other games, or never get beyond this stage. And if they do, do not be surprised if they either pull a kickstarter for it or if they do not give the people who bought the Fortnight Bundle a full copy. And before you cry false advertisement, they never ever said they would give a full version once completed. The Bundle clearly said that it was just the Prototypes and never promised anything more than that.
It may happen, but don't hold your breath.
