Double Fine Creates Playable Adventure Based on Schafer Hosting Gig

March 23, 2009 9:54 PM

Double Fine programmer Klint Honeychurch has created an adventure game based around Double Fine founder Tim Schafer's hosting gig at the upcoming IGF/GDC Choice Awards.

Titled "Host Master and the Conquest of Humor," the game is centered around Schafer's inability to think of jokes for the ceremony.

The fully-playable quest was crafted in the style of classic adventure games, complete with point-and-click interface and floating text.

Schafer hosts the IGF and GDC Choice Awards on Wednesday at 6:30pm PST.

        and? I must be missing a step because that doesn't do anything different then when I look at it with the lights on.

        Did you poke it in the eye? I thought that was where I got the head.

        Yeah, it just tells me about the keyhole when I look at the cigar box. How do I get it to give up the chicken head?
