The new adventure game is being developed by a small team within the studio. And I'm pretty sure Schafer said that they're big enough now to take on multiple projects at once.
Sounds like he doesn't to really do it anymore to me. Maybe he is saying that to let us know he most likely won't do it and not to trip the fuck out?
Unfortunately I bet a kickstarter wouldn't be quite as effective if you had to donate 60 dollars. Would be nice though. Also, without a publisher, would they even be able to put this on consoles, or would they have to keep it to steam/PC?
No! Everyone needs to keep the hype train going. If the the game receives enough fan chatter more investors are sure to come. Hell create a kickstarter for Psychonauts 2 and I'll put up $100. I want this game!

Great point, I was just talking about this with my girlfriend earlier today (the irony! :P ). I would love to see a breakdown of the funds similar to what Humble Bundle does.
I also like that there seems to be an "axis of good" being built which isn't as interested in dlc, microtransactions, or freemium bullshit - who just want to give us great games. If anything, the transparency to which we are being increasingly treated is a good step, in the past week we've had Tim's kickstarter fundraising make headlines, a developer put a number of the cost to update games through the console networks, and Notch has discussed with a little specificity the obstacles to publishing a game, something he has done even more so in the past. The more that consumers know about the individual costs associated with the production of their goods and services, the easier it is to point out and correct instances of corruption, greed, incompetence, etc.

If the budget is higher than Notch expected, I think the obscenely excess amount of cask from the kickstarter should compensate.
I don't know why people are getting excited, the game will take at least 3 years to make. Maybe more since they aren't even at the concept stage yet.
Why doesn't Notch just splooge all his earnings from Minecraft on a underselling cult game sequel? I don't get what the hang-up is.
The chance of it happening this year (development starting I mean, not the game releasing) is much higher now than it was last year. That's good enough for me.
Didn't you know? I was smithing whilst typing. *sarcasm*
Yeah, I fail at words. Say one thing and mean another. But I think we all do that at some point in time, right?

An example of irony a water park burning to the ground or an Amish kid blowing out the lightbulbs on his birthday cake. Are we happy now?

Everyone getting their pantaloons in a bunch means I really have to give Psychonauts another chance. Played it on PS2 and wasn't reeeaallly into it. I tink I heard that it is available on XBLA....
Why is it on Live but not on PSN? It doesn't matter to me since my PS3 is backwards compatible. I'm just curious.
Maybe he should have made his offer a little less public if he didn't want people to flip out about it.
