Hey this is different, but DF let me pitch and lead a little game for our new experimental Double Fine Action Labs label! It's a hectic bus-like slap-em-up!

RIP Tim Curry, who voiced Doviculous in Brutal Legend. What a thrill it was to hear him voice our villain, when I grew up going to midnight showings of Rocky Horror. Fucking legend.

Eating some German Chocolate cake and was like wait... Germany doesn't have coconuts?! Looked it up. Turns out it was invented in Texas in the 50s by some dude named Sam German. My whole life is a lie.

I tricked Double Fine into hiring me 20 years ago, and still have them fooled today! Haha! Lets see how long I can keep up the ruse. j/k... It was my dream job when I started, and I can't imagine working anywhere else. There is no character limit big enough for me to convey its impact on my life.

Beautifully composed still-life photograph of a 20 year anniversary murder weapon upgraded to include stabbing implements (from the 15 year version that was simply a bludgeoning crystal). The regal statuette is surrounded by commemorative Double Fine game paraphernalia from years past, indicating a preposterous passage of time.

I thought I lost my son's friends at Day of the Devs. As I was contemplating how I would explain it to their parents, I found them ball hogging Enter the Chronosphere. Sorry, anyone else who wanted to play it. 😬 When I saw it, I got it though. Game looks sick. Goodonya @effortstar.bsky.social

New Keeper features! Protip: Turn on High Contrast Mode at the start of your playthrough, then toggle it off with LB in-game. Anytime you're unsure what to do, toggle it on to see what's important in the scene. You can do this in Noir Mode too.

Nobody ever says "I wish I'd played more video games" when they die. Video games haven't been around long enough. I may be the first to say it.

You might find Keeper described as "a terrifying, ghostly descent into madness” or “horror origami that skillfully folds into itself”. Folks, this is for the movie Keeper coming out a month later! You probably want the "beautiful and surreal otherworldly adventure" that is coming out TOMORROW.

TIL that Big Jim originally did a director cameo in Titanic, but later wisely cut it due to early test screening feedback. Originally added to give the final scene some levity, it ended up just killing the mood when he popped up looking for his duffel bag as Jack was freezing to death.

In this removed scene, Jim only had one line, "Hey, have you guys seen a blue duffel bag?". Jack froze to death in the next scene as Jim swims away to query the next party.

The Clown Paradox: the more negative the online review of a clown is, the funnier the clown sounds

An online review of a local clown says: “Not what I had hoped for
Disappointed. We agreed he would bring balloons for $20.
He showed up with 3 or 4 saying one got away from him.
Spent time playing a video game. Walked on the bowling alley - and fell down (needed to have the bowling alley shoes). Clothing seemed unkept. Clown face makeup was
scant.”

Last year I wrote about the movement systems for Raz that we built on top of Unreal’s CharacterMovementComponent. This covers the architecture of our Move Mode system, how a few of our custom modes work, and a bit about dealing with inconsistent gravity. doublefine.com/news/behind-...

My son turned 10 today, born just after CQ2 shipped! Coincidentally, he had a sick day the other day and did his first playthrough. Listening to him giggle at all the right spots and try to see every enemy pull out their reading glasses for the Declaration of Destruction... i feel like I won life.

Will this FINALLY be the year I get that Turtlesuit for Xmas?

An advertisement featuring three confident male models wearing garments that appear to be skintight 70s collared shirts with built in underwear. One is a turtleneck, and it is unclear how the man got into it. All three men are smuggling grapes. $17.95 or 2 for $35. That's fine, but you really need to know how much for all three, and whether there is a limit on how many you can purchase.
