Ron Gilbert's sending a curious selection of characters down into The Cave, including a hillbilly, scientist, and creepy orphans. When you're the creator of Monkey Island, people let you run with ideas. A new trailer shows off a few of those eclectic explorers and their motivations for entering.
Double Fine's "Amnesia Fortnight" has gone up for a public vote, and four prototypes have been chosen to be put through the wringer over the next two weeks.
Do you fancy playing the prototype of a four-player co-op mythological kill 'em up in development at Double Fine? If you do, and you probably do, you can get it by opening your wallet for the studio's latest Amnesia Fortnight experiment, which has turned its regular prototyping process public for we plebs to vote on. Everyone who previously bought the bundle has already received this new addition.
Recent Double Fine Productions fruits including Costume Quest and Stacking were borne of the studio's 'Amnesia Fortnights,' where everyone sets aside their regular work to prototype wacky new ideas. Now Double Fine is opening that process up to the public, letting us slap down some money to choose which game ideas get made and receive those prototypes. If you've ever fancied a smell-based stealth game or Godzilla-inspired roguelike, you can now make that happen.
Nintendo's downloadable offerings have been a bit lacklustre on the Wii, DSi, and 3DS, but at least one corker's in the bag for the Wii U.

Psychonauts is getting a PlayStation Network re-release next week, August 28th.
Dubstep is the new zombies. Just as those shambling corpses were exciting in video games, then a bit tedious, next horribly over-used, before being redeemed by DayZ and The Walking Dead, so Double Fine Productions has saved dubstep from its dark path in the sequel to Double Fine Happy Action Theater. Revealed on Friday, the yet-unnamed follow-up brings new toys including building and smashing castles, faeries, and the most amazing video game dubstep sequence you've ever seen.
The game formerly known as Double Fine's Trenched is finally making its way to the PC. And soon!
