Double Fine Streaming Amnesia Fortnight Development
Double Fine has announced that its two-week break from core projects, affectionately known as “Amnesia Fortnight,” is in full swing. The studio is live-streaming the development of four different small games.
The four titles were selected from a number of pitches to studio head Tim Schafer. The games that will be prototyped are:
- Dear Leader by Anna Kipnis
- Mnemonic by Derek Brand
- Steed by John Bernhelm
- Little Pink Best Buds by Pendelton Ward
This year’s Amnesia Fortnight is being documented by 2 Player Productions, with the pilot episode available here. If you’d like to tune in and watch the development, you can do so on the Double Fine Twitch channel.
Our Take
Amnesia Fortnight continues to be one of my favorite ideas in the industry, as it pushes Double Fine to brainstorm and be creative outside of the normal constraints of development. Costume Quest, Stacking, and Space Base DF-9 are all titles that began life during Amnesia Fortnights of years gone by. I’m eager to see the results of this year’s endeavors.
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.
