Double Fine: hiring! 14 Apr, 2005 / Comments: 11

By Webmonkey


Now that Psychonauts is days away (or weeks away, in the case of the PS2 port) from being out the door and in the hands of gamers everywhere, is Double Fine Productions already starting to fiddle with their next project? It sure looks like it! They have recently posted three job listings on game industry site Gamasutra - it seems Double Fine is looking for a Senior Producer and a Senior Technical Artist.

Most curiously, though, is their posting in search of a Network Programmer - someone to "architect the company?s next-generation networking infrastructure, define programming policies and guidelines for the creation of networking-compatible software, and develop a networking system for online play."

What is up over there? Will we learn anything at E3? Discuss!

    I really hope there will be something new, not a sam&max 2, GF 2 or another MI game, but rather someting new and fresh .

    Heh, I don't think you'll have to worry about that. ?

    My God! This must be Monkey Island 5!

    No, Grim Fandgango 2!

    Or... GRIM FANDANGO III!!!!

    Skip the II altogether.

    No, Monkey Island 5. Gabez posted the reference I very nearly posted but (narrowly) avoided earlier. I imagine he's referring to the Multiplayer mode joke from EMI, or maybe I'm just a big geek. Not that those are mutually exclusive, far from it.

    I will repeat - it's obviously I-Jet that they're developing for Bad Brain.

    "Music: Marc Derell (Germany), Boris "Toxeen" Nonte (Germany)"

    If this is the new Double Fine game, I'm already sobbing from the lack of Peter O'Connell / Michael Land / Ex-Lucasarts music makers :(

    No. Remi was joking 100%; have no fear.

    The team: Wolfgang Kierdorf, and Hal Barwood maybe, and also it might be Tim Schafer if he is interested you know how it is.

    Oh my god. It says "maybe". The fucking team list says "maybe".
