Double Fine goes independent, launches Kickstarter for game jam

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Indie game developer Double Fine Productions has recently become independent from Microsoft and launched a successful Kickstarter campaign. This campaign aims to fund a game jam where backers can vote on game ideas, with the potential for a full game to be developed from the winning concepts. Additionally, Double Fine has brought its game Keeper to PlayStation 5 and reduced the price of Kiln. Meanwhile, publisher Aggro Crab is supporting other developers with its funding model, emphasizing a commitment to stylized games and explicitly stating they will not publish titles that use generative AI.
