Tim Schafer has signalled the arrival of the ”special backer preview” for Broken Age Act 2, which officially launches tomorrow. However those who backed the project get it today, alongside a poem.
The Double Fine big cheese recommends starting the game over to jog our memories of everything that’s happened, and to snag achievements. This has been a ”long and crazy journey” we’ve shared.
”Your old save game will work, but I personally recommend starting over from the beginning. Now, now, no grumbling. You don’t HAVE to. I can’t force you. YET. But you really should, and after all, it won’t take you long since you know all the puzzles,” said Schafer in his backer update.
”There are just so many hints and story set ups that happen in Act 1 that you need to remember for Act 2 to make sense. Plus, achievements! Anyway, whatevs. You don’t have to start over. That’s just my recommendation.”
Schafer and ‘Team Reds’ have promised that Broken Age’s second act would feature harder puzzles than the first, since Act 1 had too few head-scratchers adventure fans were used to, especially from Schafer. Backers can expect an email soon.
Broken Age Act 2 releases on PC tomorrow, April 28th. Don’t forget that 2 Player Productions and Double Fine are working together on a full behind-the-scenes documentary, which is now almost complete. Free 720p versions of each episode are available on YouTube.
