Tim Schafer left LucasArts in 2000 to form a new video game studio called Double Fine Productions, along with much of the Grim Fandango crew. It was a bumpy ride for Double Fine for most of their existence. Their first two retail games both lost their publisher and funding halfway through development
.
They then started to develop smaller downloadable only titles, including a puzzle adventure game named Stacking. In 2012, they successfully crowdfunded an adventure game through Kickstarter titled Broken Age. In 2013, they successfully crowdfunded a turn-based strategy game through Kickstarter titled Massive Chalice. In 2015, they successfully crowdfunded a platforming game through Fig titled Psychonauts 2.
In 2019, they were acquired by Microsoft. All projects previously announced at that time were said to be unaffected, other than a change of publishers, however, Double Fine would be focusing on Microsoft platforms moving forward.
