Joy Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Double Fine's upcoming downloadable title reveals the secret life of Russian nesting dolls. Stacking is the upcoming game from Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Productions that continues the San Francisco based developer’s experimentation with creating smaller games for digital distribution. As with Double Fine’s first downloadable game, Costume Quest, Stacking is being helmed by another rising star in the company, Lee Petty who last served as art director on Brutal Legend. Schafer and Petty recently dropped by our offices to show off the unique game inspired by Russian nesting dolls. Although the dolls from the late 1800’s may sound like an unlikely muse that isn’t necessarily a great fit for a game, Stacking will surprise you. Stacking’s story will unfold via silent film style cinematics, which will add up to over 2 hours of narrative, that flicker dramatically as text cards pop up. The story finds Charlie’s happy home broken up by an evil Baron who sends the whole brood into the lively indentured service industry. Charlie, left behind due to his small size, sets out to find and rescue his family using his wits and unique ability to possess other dolls by jumping into them. Expected Release: Q1 2011 (EU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiserbreath Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 These may never redeem Schafer, since he has nothing to do with them. Although might redeem Double fine as a creative studio This and costume quest are the result of an studio internal 2 week game jams, each having their own leaders. Two more prototypes were made , which are eventually going to be revealed soon. I wonder what they look like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I was impressed by Costume Quest demo, it reminds me of my childhood days. Will play it for sure when I get back to gaming again. EDIT: Ron Gilbert I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
