unlabelledView post →I'm thrilled to see Keeper is getting good reviews and also glad that Double Fine is back in fine form after not releasing a game in 4 years. I miss this studio and its penchant for weirdly entertaining games. Besides Psychonauts, they made Costume Quest, Stacking, Iron Brigade and Brütal Legend!

unlabelledView post →I think it’s gorgeous and it should have been right up my alley, but ultimately it left me cold. Glad it exists though! Reminds me of when Doublefine used to do those internal game jams that led to Costume Quest, Stacking, and Iron Brigade

unlabelledView post →@doublefine.com Are y'all ever gonna make another/remaster the original Iron Brigade? Or even just another game that has mechs and turrets like that? I love playing the game but lack of players on all communities really kills the fun.

unlabelledView post →One time I made an entire faction out of the signatory states/provinces for the Great Lakes Compact for a friend's post-apocalyptic roleplaying game because I wanted to use a recommissioned Iron Brigade in a character's backstory. I made a flag, too.
unlabelledView post →Iron Brigade is a bit dated and janky, but it's Doublefine cooperative mech tower defense. If that means anything to you, this game probably will too.
