A potential sequel for Psychonauts could become a reality after earlier today Notch and Mojong studio, developers of Minecraft, offered to help fund a potential sequel if Double Fine agreed.

While they don't have enough money to fund the whole game, they would be offering enough to help jump start the development while Double Fine searches for a larger publisher to help fund the rest.

The biggest issue besides funding is Double Fine can't just start working on the game right away due to the company breaking down into smaller development teams a few years ago as part of the company's restructuring plans. The plans allowed for more smaller games to be made at once with the main focus on XBLA and Kinect type games. It would take some time to reorganize the whole company back into one large team to actually work on the potential sequel.
