Double Fine's Tim Schafer And Ron Gilbert Discuss Adventure Games
Part of the wildly successful Double Fine Kickstarter is a series of videos from the talented 2 Player Productions documenting the creation of Double Fine's new adventure game. As an early preview of this documentary series, 2 Player posted this video to its YouTube account.
In this great 35-minute video, which was filmed before the Kickstarter launched, Double Fine's Tim Schafer sits down with his one-time mentor and current coworker Ron Gilbert to discuss the state of adventure games. They talk about why they love them, why they haven't made them in so long, and where they could go in the future. There's also a lot of fascinating discussion about what they want to do with this new adventure project.
Enjoy the video below. If it convinces you to give money to Double Fine, you can still contribute to its Kickstarter and earn the chance to watch the rest of 2 Player Production's serialized documentary as they release it.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
