There are only a couple of classic game makers I would throw my few bucks at to back a project without knowing what I'll be getting. Tim Schafer is one of them. It was Grim Fandango that hooked me on adventure games and very few have ever drawn me back time and again as it has. For that alone, I'd support his project.
The only thing that makes me regret that decision is that I can't join TimovieMan and stand out as one of the two who may actually BUY the damned thing after it's finished.
