Cressup chats to the legendary game developer Tim Schafer. Tim has been at the forefront of many cherished adventure and story-driven games, from Day of the Tentacle, which has just celebrated its 30th anniversary, to Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Psychonauts 1 and 2 with Double FIne. Cressup chats through all these different moments in his career and also touches on topics such as AI's place in the games industry, spirituality, writing processes and of course, what's next for Double Fine!
