Double Fine Action News Issue 4:

PSI-Blast Of The Devs!

October 18^th 2022

It's been a fair shake since we've last hit you with some delicious Double Fine news but that's because we've been busy making all sorts of stuff.

First off: yeah, that Psychonauts 2 documentary is on the way and it'll blow your socks off when it arrives. In the meantime, we spent the celebration period around P2's one year anniversary to dive into some behind the scenes goods. In this edition of Action News! you're find some of our favorite glitches and easter eggs as well as discussions between writers, designers, and composers about the creative process behind some fabulous characters and musical wonders.

The list below will wow you with an array of tid-bits and trivia that should whet your appetite. Point is this: you want to learn more about P2? This is the news letter for you...

But that's not all! We're finally moving back into physical, in-person events. We're doin this carefully and our first big public bash is the return of Day of the Devs live!

Day of the Devs Back In-Person!

For ten years now, Day of the Devs has been showing off amazing games (indie and sometimes larger) from diverse teams around the globe. This year, we're gathering in San Fransisco on November 5th on 3PM – 8PM PT at The Midway. It's free admission and will have tons of games to enjoy.

YOU CAN RSVP HERE

However, if you want some extra time on the floor and a chance to really meet up with some of the devs, there's also a Humble Bundle containing tons of our games (Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, Broken Age) as well as former Double Fine Presents titles like Gang Beasts.

Importantly, there's a big old voucher for some iam8bit merch and, oh yeah! A VIP ticket to the event that lets you skip the crowd and slide in early. The bundle itself is $10 and each purchase contributes towards keeping the show free for people to show their games, and free for people who want to play them! (it also supports some great charities!)

Tim recommends!

Hi, and welcome to the first ever installment of "Tim Recommends!" Apparently, this is a feature of the newsletter that I approved months ago during a weak moment before I realized that it might require THOUGHT and EFFORT on my part. Therefore I have a bonus recommendation for you today to get us started. I recommend you read all messages carefully before you reply with a thumbs up emoji. Anyway, I was so young and foolish then, and I had plenty of opinions for the things that I think I'm supposed to recommend here: video games, books, board games, and ways to hide a body. But instead, for this maiden voyage of Tim Recommends, I'd like to do some real good in the world. I'd like to recommend something that will really improve your quality of life, save you money, and help you spend more time doing something you love. I recommend: Keeping your dental floss in the shower. You know you want to hang out in there longer anyway, and flossing gives you a great excuse not to get out of the warm, comforting water. It also promotes gum health. You're welcome!
