Double Fine Adventure is now called Broken Age.
It's a story of a boy and a girl living parallel lives. The girl has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster--but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship is living a solitary life under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good in the world.
If you missed the kickstarter, the game can be pre-ordered from its website. You can either preorder the game (DRM free) for $15 for Windows, Mac, and Linux and get access to the beta once it's available. Or pre-order for $30 to become a backer. Backer status includes the game, private backer-only discussion forums on Double Fine's message boards, all past and ongoing episodes of 2 Player Productions' documentary series following the development of the game, a wealth of development materials from the Double Fine team, a digital soundtrack, and beta access once available.

Is that the Sierra Half Dome logo on the left? :)
Does anyone feel like the name is not very evocative like older Double Fine / LucasArts? Maybe I'm being nostalgic but it doesn't seem to pique my curiosity. It's like a mashup of Broken Sword and Dragon Age.
I do think that it's a little nostalgia in play. I'm not in love with the name either, but I don't think 'The Dig' really evoked the full mystery of that game, and I think 'Full Throttle' sounds rather generic when you match it up against the weird semi-futuristic bike-centric world presented, and so forth. I suppose there were some names that immediately clicked for me, like Grim Fandango, but I can't say that all the titles I heard from that time were immediately exciting.
Oh, yeah, and even Double Fine ones - I used to think Stacking was a very dull name, but now I'm fine with it. And Costume Quest is descriptive but not that imaginative..

I agree with what the others said, not quite as catchy as Tim's older game titles. Still, that art on the website looks supersweet. Can't wait for this.
Side note: I notice the logo image is called 'brokenage_logo_new.png'
So for perhaps a limited time, you can check out the beta logo at http://www.brokenagegame.com/images/brokenage_logo.png.
