Steam reviews says it's only half as long as the original, being easily beated under 6 hours. Eh, will wait for bundle.

I think it was just a quick cash grab for Holloween, which they could make in a short time. They had all the assets from the first one, so they didn't have to put too much work in it. 15 dollar is a bit much, 10 dollar would be more reasonable.

Reasonable opinion on a Derple Fine game from JC!?!

 

[SuicideBunny]

at this point, i would like to remind everyone that costume quest 1 cost 2 mio dollars.

I beat Costume Quest 2. It's also a good game to have whenever my younger cousin is at my place.

The game is shorter and easier than the first game. Yet it is still a better overall experience and better paced. I'm satisfied with the amount of money I paid, but I knew what I was getting myself into with this purchase.

I'd say go for it at a $5 price point if you want to play something lighthearted.

Oh man, just noticed the top of this page -- the AVERAGE employee makes 120,000 a year? No wonder they're fucking broke all the time.

BTW, the Penny Arcade "RPGs" are on humble bundle for $1 and play just like Costume Quest.

Layoffs Hit Double Fine

Double Fine has suffered layoffs after a deal for an unannounced project fell through.

Double Fine confirmed the layoffs in a statement to IGN. Twelve of the company's workers were let go as a result of the unexpected cancellation of the unnamed game.

The Costume Quest 2 developer said that the layoffs are only relevant to the cancelled project, and its other games currently in development are unaffected by today's news.

Currently, Double Fine is working on Broken Age: Act 2, Massive Chalice, and the remake of the Lucasarts classic Grim Fandango Remastered.

Lay-offs are an all too common part of working in the tumultuous games industry, with companies like Wildstar developer Carbine Studios, Angry Birds developer Rovio, and Strife dev S2 Games all recently seeing reductions in their staff numbers.

Broken Age: Act 3?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Hahahahaaha!!!
Fuck these san fran hipsters

 

[HanoverF]

It's a horrible time of the year to be out of work, no one deserves that due to schafer's shitty management. Unless the 12 people laid off were all Chris Remo clones.

 

[Explorerbc]

How many games are they making at the same time ?

Sad for the employees though

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Yes, it does suck, but fuck them hard anyway.

 

[toro]

Karma lag is over. Cool.

 

[SuicideBunny]

so, has anyone actually played massive chalice?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Are they broke yet?

 

[Abu Antar]

Are they broke yet?

Who knows. They have Grim Fandango remaster coming out in January. Day of the Tentacles special edition has been announced. I think they might live to see another day.

Looks somewhat decent but I'll wait for the Going Out of Business Sale

 

[SuicideBunny]

does it? even rps said it feels lifeless and as if something is missing, despite all their fucking praise for it.

 

[Abu Antar]

I saw it was 33% off on STEAM but will wait for a permanent price drop and once that happens, wait for the 75% sale.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Long-ass video, but it's loads of fun to watch because:

# You get to see some amazing glitches.
# You get live commentary from Double Fine.
# Tim Schaefer seems like a pretty cool guy.
# They talk about Psychonauts 2.

Enjoy.
