  1. was watching the Double Fine PsychOdyssey documentary tonight and it reminded me of a super embarrassing story from the year i met my wife-to-be, over a decade ago

    back in the early 2010s i was married to someone else. we were excited about the Double Fine Adventure kickstarter, and backed it immediately.

    a few months later, we were going through a divorce. our kickstarted game arrived in the mail, and like all of our possessions, it became just another line on a spreadsheet to divide between us. she took a pile of le creuset dishes. i took the double fine adventure game (Broken Age).

    for the next two years, i didn't want to think about anything connected to my ex. Broken Age collected dust on the shelf.

    i eventually met someone else. we fell in love. most nights in bed, we'd play an adventure game together. a lot of them were lucasarts games. Sam & Max. Day of the Tentacle.

    one night i remembered the copy of Broken Age on the shelf. "Hey honey, wanna play something new?"

    we stayed up all night and managed to finish the entire game in one go. neither of us had ever been in a game's credits before, or even knew anyone who had. i wanted to impress her.

    "Hey, let's watch the credits! I got a backer credit for helping fund it."

    it took 5 minutes to finally see my name in the list. except - it wasn't just my name. it was myself and my ex wife's. 😬

    i turned bright red and my girlfriend couldn't stop laughing. the next morning, i quietly hammered out a message to Double Fine's support staff, asking for a change in the game's credits.

    this was their reply 😅

  2. Double Fine si sindacalizza. I dipendenti dello studio di proprietà Microsoft hanno annunciato la formazione di un'unione con il CWA, coinvolgendo 42 lavoratori.

  3. AAA! In a good way – in multiple good ways! In Mayor May Knott, you rebuild the community in a spooky but cartoony game. I don’t want to add anything more (there are songs… fudge), or make reductive comparisons (it’s like it was made by Double Fine… double fudge), and the final game could turn for the worse or peter out, but the demo is great!

    With the big font, good on Steam Deck, too.

  4. And #CostumeQuest is finished, final summary: good dad game

    The cutesy art, the light humor and simple mechanics make for an experience adequate for those who want to share their playtime with their kids

  5. Double Fine’s Kiln looks like a charming as hell goofy pottery brawling game
    There are a lot of words to describe Kiln but the best may be: SURE!

  6. Overall, this #DeveloperDirect from Microsoft was great.

    My high point is #Kiln from #DoubleFine. #ForzaHorizon6 seems to be a great racing game.

    I'm still wary of #BeastOfReincarnation performance problems.

    #Fable looks and plays great.

    Still, the jury is still out for all these games. We'll see if the Xbox catalog benefits from these games or not.

  7. So basically, #DoubleFine created a pottery game with a #MOBA, without the Wiki of items, as a Party Game.

    I can see this being the top of the Steam charts when it releases.

  8. I don't usually think of #DoubleFine as a tech showpiece kinda developer but #Keeper might be the most "wow I'm glad I have an OLED monitor" game I've played.

  9. Double Fine’s Keeper trades action for atmosphere. A quiet, heartfelt adventure about light, discovery, and connection. Our full review in the linke below. #Keeper #Xbox #DoubleFine #cloudgaming #review

  12. This is very insightful from #LukeStephens. Microsoft policy for creativity will be their downfall.

    In other words, why bother pitching your best ideas if they own your soul or they won't do it. You get boring games like #AssassinsCreedShadows, or you let go masterpieces like #Expedition33.

  13. The #DoubleFine #PsychOdyssey series on YouTube is just incredible. The Double Fine Adventure series, also by #2PP, was great, too, but the mix of things going on in this one is so engrossing. You’ve got the great mix of tech, art, and design that makes video games wonderful, but the people here are such wonderful characters, and the management challenges are… emotional. 2PP does an incredible job covering a very long time span, and I’m only half way through it! youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIh

  15. It’s great that Double Fine shared their retrospective/post-mortem for Psychonauts 2. So many insights into the video game development process in there.

    If you haven’t watched the other 32 episodes of PsychOdyssey, you should do that first. That’s documenting the process of making video games on a whole new level.
