Double Fine Trademarks 'The Cave'

The team behind the upcoming Kickstarter adventure title filed a new trademark this month, and it has nothing to do with the project. Double Fine filed a trademark for "The Cave" on February 22. Whatever it turns out to be, it won't have anything to do with the upcoming game.

"While we can’t comment on unannounced projects, we can say that Double Fine’s Kickstarter-funded adventure game has not been started, designed, or even imagined yet," a studio representative told Game Informer. "No trademarks have been filed on its behalf."

The trademark is for computer and video game software, which largely hints this is yet another game in development at the studio.

Double Fine's Tim Schafer and coworker Ron Gilbert recently sat down in a video interview by 2 Player Productions discussing the state of adventure games.

  • Im sure whatever it is, it will be awesome.

  • Neat!

  • Does anyone else see a potential problem with this kickstarter idea? Ok, so Tons of people donated "buying into" the project, now they have a couple million dollars of dispensable income to fund other projects (such as this one) not to mention the fact that they will be collecting interest or investing the funds they have acquired in the mean time until they finally decide to "imagine" the project they have our funding for. What if a company were to tank in the interim between acquisition of funds and project completion? Of course this experiment has become a really attractive way for other studios to seek funding.... this becoming the norm scares me....
  • I just want to test this out. :troll:
    Did it work?
    Yes!!!!

    In other news Tim Schafer is awesome. I really really hope that adventure game is another Monkey Island.
    Oh and don't worry. I won't be using that meme on this site ever again. I just wanted to see if it worked.
  • It'll be awesome, whatever it is.

  • I'm going to keep a watchful eye. Double Fine is one of my top five developers.

  • i hope it's a platformer in the vein of psychonauts

  • The Cave, huh? Consider me intrigued :)

  • I don't want to get into maybe's, but wasn't their some kind of agreement when the donations were accepted? Either way, you have thousands of givers and one taker who has stated at least a rough idea of what your donations have purchased. I think that if anything were to happen that would be enough to pursue some kind of legal action.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Nobody has done anything wrong, and good faith should be given otherwise.

  • A 2 mil dollar cave? Im now into speluncking.
  • Already sounds kind of cool, waiting to hear more about it.

  • Awesome, so awesome.

  • Awesome awesome.
