In recent years we have seen a greater effort by both studios and publishers to document the development process for a wide variety of games. One studio familiar with such documentaries is Double Fine Productions – having now released a massive 32-part documentary on the development for Psychonauts 2. Back …

Psychonauts 2 is in an interesting developmental situation. Originally announced via crowdfunding site Fig, the sequel to the cult classic game was pitched to be coming to multiple platforms. Following the acquisition of developer Double Fine by Microsoft, the game was promised to still be coming to other systems. While …

Double Fine has given a long-awaited update on the status of Psychonauts 2, confirming that the game is set to release later this year.  Double Fine crowdfunded the sequel way back in 2015 through the crowdfunding platform, Fig. Later on, the studio was acquired by Microsoft, joining the Xbox Game …

The latest Humble Bundle has been officially unveiled and this time around, it is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Double Fine Studios. The new bundle puts together some of Double Fine's top games for less than £7. The first tier, costing £0.79, includes Psychonauts, Double Fine Adventure: Complete Series and …

Double Fine entered the publishing business back in 2014 with the ‘Double Fine Presents' label, aiming to help other independent publishers release and distribute their games. Of course, Double Fine is now part of Xbox Game Studios, leaving little room for a subsidiary publishing arm. The Double Fine acquisition was …

Double Fine Productions has been floating around the gaming industry for almost two decades now and has delivered a bunch of cult classics. In recent years, the studio has turned to crowd funding platforms to fund new games but those days are now over, as Microsoft has acquired them. Double …

Continuing its trend of successfully crowd funding its way to its next developmental project, Double Fine has succeeded in generating enough funds from its community of fans to make Psychonauts 2 a reality. Along with the news, Double Fine and its founder Tim Schafer released a video telling us just how …

Although we still have 24 hours to wait until it becomes available in the EU, the second half of Double Fine's Kickstarter over-funded, point and click adventure game, Broken Age, is now available. The first part debuted way back in January 2014, with the developer then using funds from its …

Over a year since its first act was released and almost three years since the original campaign, Broken Age hasn't had the smoothest of rides to release, but now it looks like its second and final part, Broken Age Act 2, will be released in just over a month's time. …

A lot of the news surrounding Tim Schafer's Double Fine hasn't been particularly positive as of late. It let some people go due to a cancelled project and it ended development of Space Base DF 9 earlier than expected. However it shouldn't be forgotten that it has an HD remake …

Poor old Double Fine. It's not having the best of times as of late. In the past few months it's managed to annoy gamers by releasing Spacebase DF9 early and somewhat unfinished because the money just wasn't there for its continued development. It's let a dozen staff go from an …

A lot of games were initially scheduled to be launching in October and while that number is still relatively high, with all of the AAA delays we've been informed of in recent months, it's a little less cramped than it once was. Double Fine is no doubt pleased with that, …

Double Fine has one of the better legacies in the industry in terms of games put out. It's responsible for Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Stacking, Costume Quest and its founder Tim Schafer was involved in some of the best point and clicks from the 90s and early 00s. However despite this …

There wasn't really much doubt that Tim Schafer's seminal Grim Fandango wouldn't eventually hit PCs as well, when it was first announced at Sony's E3 conference as an upcoming PS4 remastered title. However that doesn't mean it's not nice to hear for sure, as Double Fine has now officially announced …

Considering all of the great titles that have come out of the Tim Schafer led Double Fine (Iron Brigade, Brutal Legend, Psychonauts, The Cave etc.) it's never done a sequel. In some cases, that's because the company split its developers up into smaller teams, so the chances of a giant …

Poor Tim Schafer, he just wants to enjoy his sandwhich in peace, but without Amnesia Fortnight, everyone at Double Fine pitches directly to him. That won't do, so he's launched 2014's Amnesia Fortnight once again with public involvement, Humble Bundle pre-ordering and a Two Player Productions documentary to commemorate it all. …

The case of Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight inspired Stacking and Costume Quest games is an odd one. While the Tim Schafer headed company held onto the IP rights for both games, the publisher, THQ, retained some distribution rights, which went up for sale when THQ itself declared bankruptcy. Ultimately Nordic …

Double Fine's Broken Age Kickstarter campaign was one of the most successful to date, generating nearly ten times its budget (of $400,000) with a total of around $3.3 million. Despite that, Tim Schafer, head of the company, has reached out to the community to explain that the game's development has …

I should have done a news story when this launched, but they always come at such unsociable hours for us Brits. Yes, a new Humble Bundle is out there for you to pay what you want for and it's all based around Double Fine, that Tim Schafer helmed ship of …

We  spoke earlier this week about how EA is in the running for a few of bankrupt THQ's intellectual properties but now there's a new name in the acquisition talks: Double Fine. That's Mr Tim Shafer's company. Tim Shafer of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango fame. …

Ever wondered how Double Fine creates such wacky concepts as Costume Quest, or Stacking? Well now we know, thanks to an eight minute video of company founder Tim Schafer revealing a game concept process that takes place every year, called Amnesia Fortnight. However this time, it features you. On an …
