Double Fine reduce staff by 12 following 'unexpected cancellation'
Broken Age developer Double Fine has had to let a dozen staff members go from the studio after a project with a publisher fell through, signing the death warrant to the unannounced project. They did confirm however that Broken Age, Massive Chalice and the remastering of Grim Fandango "were unaffected." Massive Chalice has recently hit Early Access and is a strategy RPG.
Tim Schafer's interested in an open world Grim Fandango sequel
This might sound like blasphemy to fans of the original game, but creator Tim Schafer's thinking big when it comes to a possible Grim Fandango sequel. He'd like to make it an open world game. Talking to Kotaku at Double Fine's 'Day of the Devs' event, Schafer revealed; "I've had this urge to make a fully 3D version of El Marrow, where it's more like an open world game."
Remastered version of cult classic Grim Fandango also coming to PC, Mac and Linux
Now this is excellent news. Developer Double Fine has confirmed via their official Twitter that the remastered version of classic adventure game Grim Fandango will be available on PC, Mac and Linux. It was something of a surprise at E3 this year to find out that Tim Schafer's darkly comic tale of scheming skeletons would be getting an updated HD version on PS4 and Vita. Good to hear that it's coming back to its original platform too.
