Double Fine @doublefine.com · 28/07/2026
Today, Double Fine Productions let go of 23 members of its staff.

As a small, tightly knit team, these actions are not taken lightly. Only the survival of our studio would ever make us consider such a painful action. Our transition to becoming an independent company means becoming a size that we can sustain.

The people we are losing were all important. They all made an impact on our games and culture, and they will be missed.

We are committed to supporting each affected person as best as we can, and we thank them for their hard work and commitment to the creative spirit we cherish here at Double Fine.

-Tim

I haven‘t been excited about Unity in a while but the features shown for Unity 7 are honestly making me kind of optimistic.

I love watching “Sendung mit der Maus” with my kids, a true staple of german television I myself grew up with. Imagine my surprise when seeing them blatantly use gen AI for their stupid soccer episode. Thanks for using my broadcasting fee for this shit

Yeah, I’m a bit reluctant to just switch to another big corp but in all seriousness, it’s hard to compete with Adobe’s shittiness so I guess it’s fine?

I have yet to really dive deeper into it, but I’m so excited to finally ditch Adobe now that Autograph seems to be a real competitve After Effects replacement (the only thing that held be back until now. Substance is still hard to beat but that’s a one time purchase so I’m good with that for now.

I’m so excited to be heading back to lovely #Lowestoft, England tomorrow for the 2nd time, where I will FINALLY (after one devastatingly failed attempt last year) set foot on the #Mincarlo sidewinder trawler. One of the last of its kind and the main inspiration for the ship in my game!

It was fun the previous two years, some good talks but mostly the people and atmosphere in Malmø were worth it. But the prices are crazy plus the whole “AI Track” this year make it a clear “nope” for me.

Very cool stuff, I read your posts about some of that and was really impressed. I‘ve been wanting to recreate the look of my Helios 44 lens for a while now, it has such interesting flare and swirly bokeh. Seeing your work is really motivating (not that I have nearly your level of skill!)

Don’t know about this. Does everything have to be so driven by algorithms? Part of the Arc charm for me is that moment of not-knowing what will happen when meeting a fellow raider. I just want to have fun, be nice (and sometimes be an asshole too) without having to worry about upsetting an algorithm
