Double Fine juhlii 20 vuottaan uudella verkkosivulla ja kirjeellä

Double Fine työstää tällä hetkellä peliä Psychonauts 2 Microsoftin siipien suojassa. Peli on silti tulossa alustoille PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One ja Xbox Series X (ja S). Nyt sitten Double Fine juhlii 20 vuottaan uudella verkkosivulla, jossa on lukuisia kummallisia videoita, paljon sarjakuvia ja aatoksia Tim Schaferilta.

Suuntaa siis DoubleFine.comiin. Lue alta englanniksi Schaferin aatokset Microsoftille itsensä myymisestä.

"After two decades of going it alone as an independent studio, Double Fine started talking with Microsoft about the future. Yeah, that's right, the computer people. Turns out making games is weird, tricky and expensive, and eventually it's like "wow, it would be great to keep doing this, but also feel a bit more secure, wouldn't it?."

They agreed to let us hang around with them in return for some sweet, sweet games, and so Double Fine is now part of the Xbox Games Studios. That means that we're basically best friends with Master Chief and those cool folks who made Fallout New Vegas.

It's a new chapter, one where we are thinking less about how to secure funding, and instead we can focus on making games, in a supportive environment that will allow us more creative freedom than we've ever had before. Whatever comes next, we promise that it will be full of the fun and exciting things that you've come to expect from the gang at Double Fine Productions. Here's to the next 20 years!"
