Double Fine developing four new titles

Tim Schafer has revealed that his studio Double Fine Productions is currently developing four new titles.

According to GameIndustry.Biz, Schafer made the announcement during a speech at the Develop conference in Brighton, while also revealing that a planned Brutal Legends sequel has been axed.

"We got a phone call from a publisher saying, 'We're not going to do a sequel to Brutal Legend.' My fault was that I had not prepared for that, so we did not have a project ready to go," he explained.

Schafer revealed that his team then picked four prototype games they had created during a motivational exercise and pitched them to publishers.

"In a couple of months all four games got signed. So we became officially a multi-project studio. Trying to kill us made us multiply," he said.

Schafer explained that the titles would be a mixture of retail and downloadable games and that one would feel "sort of retro but also really new", while another would be "quite cutting edge".
