- "Buying any of our games helps support the studio": Psychonauts studio Double Fine are the latest former Xbox-owned studio to get the rights to their games back - 22 August 2026

And now, another studio is joining the realm of boycott freedom, this time Psychonauts studio Double Fine, as CEO Tim Schafer has confirmed that they too now own the publishing rights to their own catalogue.

- Have You Played Broken Age? - 24 June 2019
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Broken Age was Tim Schafer s triumphant (?) return to point and click adventure games. It was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, and was the first game where the campaign got sort of wildly out of hand, in that they asked for like $400k and ended up with over $3 million . Developers everywhere starting looking at crowdfunding and rubbing their chins with suspicious intent, and here we are today. (more…)

Schafer is known for creating Psychonauts, Br tal Legend, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and leading the studio behind Broken Age, Costume Quest, as well as the upcoming Psychonauts 2.

- Which PC game do you regret spending money on? - 4 November 2017
Welcome back to the PC Gamer Q&A . Every Saturday, we ask our panel of PC Gamer writers a question about PC gaming. This week: which game do you regret spending money on? We'd also love to hear your suggestions in the comments.  Tim Clark: Elder Scrolls: Legends Unless you're willing to grind like a seaside donkey, CCGs are expensive to stay up to speed with. I generally don't regret spending money on cards, but I do regret quite how much I spent on The Elder Scrolls: Legends. Somewhere along the line I decided I wanted an all-premium (i.e. golden) midrange Sorcerer deck, which meant crafting three copies of each super expensive legendary card, including my favourite: Supereme Atromancer. (I love her partly because she's OP, but also because she looks like British celebrity chef Gizzi Erskine.) I'd almost finished the deck when developer Direwolf Digital sw…
- From shareware superstars to the Steam gold rush: How indie conquered the PC - 22 September 2017
Last week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds smashed the Steam peak player records . The previous record-holder, Dota 2, while admittedly made by one of the world’s biggest and most powerful games companies, began as a Warcraft mod. These days, we barely blink an eye at the idea that a game can come from nowhere and shake through word-of-mouth, clever concepts, a bit of cool technology like Portal’s… well, portals… or simply by hooking into some reservoir of good feeling, and accomplish more than any marketing budget can dream of. Minecraft is this generation’s Lego. Undertale is one of its most beloved RPGs. Indeed, the world of indie development is now so important that it’s hard to remember that it’s only really a decade or so old. That’s not to say that there weren’t indie games before then, as we’ll see, but i…

- Get Broken Age, Titan Souls and Oxenfree cheap in Humble Day of the Devs Bundle - 30 October 2016
Humble has a new bundle to celebrate the Day of the Devs event that will shortly be rocking San Francisco, and it's a good'un that is, if you've somehow managed to avoid acquiring copies of Broken Age, Titan Souls, Lumino City and a few other discount-friendly games. You can pay what you want for copies of the above games, or beat the average for copies of Oxenfree, and Double Fine's Grim Fandango Remastered and Massive Chalice (there are a lot of Double Fine games included here). Meanwhile, an investment of $9 will secure you Day of the Tentacle Remastered, along with a VIP ticket to Day of the Devs, which takes place on November 5. There's nothing majorly surprising in there, but it's a pretty great bundle if you don't own many, or indeed or any of those games. If that's not enough for you, there's another bundle going that includes Technobabylon, Odallus: The Dark Call and Chroma Squ…
- Her Story, Read Only Memories & Cibele For $1 In Humble Narrative Bundle - 1 June 2016
Wowee, isn’t this a nice little surprise to help us shake off the Tuesday Wednesday blues? The latest Humble Bundle – Humble Narrative Bundle – has kicked off and, as always, the first tier is in familiar “pay what you want” format, with Steam keys costing a minimum of $1. Thing is, this particular collection’s premier platform features one-time RPS Game of the Month and FMV Game of 2015 Her Story , cyberpunk retro point-and-clicker Read Only Memories , and Nina Freeman’s lovely semi-autobiographical adventure Cibele . Based on those alone this is probably my favourite bundle yet, but there’s more. …

Finally, for $10 or more, you'll get the Shadowrun: Hong Kong Extended Edition on top of everything else. The bundle also includes a ten percent coupon for new Humble Monthly subscribers, and charitable donations will go to support…

- Get Your Head Around Double Fine s New Metroidvania - 28 August 2015
Headlander is the next game from Double Fine, and with news that the project lead from the wonderful Stacking is in charge I’m definitely paying attention. Borrowing the body-swapping concept from that Russian Doll-themed game, Headlander applies it more of a Metroidvania structure, with some lovely 70s sci-fi trappings and the option to graft your head onto anything from dogs to dancers. Take a look below. …
- The Final Episode Of Double Fine Adventure! Is Out - 20 July 2015
Games are strange in that they’re a medium that inspires devotion but even the most feverish fans often know little about how they’re made. Most efforts to explicate the process are also often hamstrung by the marketing need to put on a good face or by the details being delivered long after the fact by developer’s whose memories have faded. Double Fine Adventure is different. It’s a twenty-part documentary series about the making of Broken Age where the cameras were there at the very beginning, when the fresh Kickstarter success seemed to point towards a future of infinite potential, and were still there at the very end, when the team size had been whittled away, when morale had been dampened by layoffs, and when crunch had caused people to fall ill. As of last week, the final episode is out and available to watch for free along with the rest of the series. ̷…
