Hesitant to "trust these guys" -- the same guys that pointedly stated in their video and materials that the DoubleFine adventure could be a wild success or complete failure?

They made it very clear from the beginning that this was new territory, something not done before, and the risk was high.

As for starting another game before finishing another, that's a silly argument. There's this mistaken belief amongst the general populace that software companies can only work on one project at a time. That couldn't be farther removed from reality.

The reality is that any large software project requires the efforts of dozens (and sometimes hundreds or thousands) of people all of which perform different tasks. There are many parts of software projects where not all of the staff can be involved or working on it, or where their portion of the work is done.

At that point, you're left with the choice of firing the people you don't need, or paying them to sit around and do nothing. Isn't the more logical choice to start another project so you can keep those people employed and pay them to do something meaningful?

The fact that the source of their funding for one of their current projects was kickstarter should not restrict them from starting another project using kickstarter.
