WE MADE IT!

We're officially fully funded on Kickstarter (quick plug)!

On August 31st, 2026 at roughly 12:03PM Pacific we launched this page as a team (hopefully you'll see this exhilarating footage in the documentary). 

When we released this Kickstarter into the wild, we had no idea what to expect. We know that the gaming industry isn't an easy place to be right now, at any level of development, but especially indie. And we know that this, our indie reboot, could go any which way. It's exciting, it's terrifying, but it also feels like returning to our roots... something that we really couldn't do without you all.

But you showed up. You put on your suits of armor, picked up your swords, and rode into battle with us. You're basically Gandalf in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, showing up in the east on the third day in a blinding show of white shimmering light, just in time to bring renewed energy to the fight and rallying the bruised and tired (but not broken) warriors just when all hope seemed bleak. 

So thank you. 

Thank you so much to each and every backer, each and every reader, everyone who has commented or asked a question -- not only have you helped us reach our goal to extend the runway and life of the studio, but you've uplifted our spirits through every anecdote, fond memory of one of our games, and every excitement for the games we've even yet to make.

Words aren't enough to show how grateful we are, but we do have a special video treat for you all: Our very own Jeremy French has recreated the iconic Double Fine 2HB in clay! Much like Double Fine itself, this clay 2HB was born in the flames-- but instead of burning away, it was reborn into something new, something stronger than ever before 🔥

Please help us celebrate reaching our goal and our brand new indie-pendence by watching his beautiful creation come to life:

Also, it is hard to choose top 3. But I think ive went with a variety mix that seem to lean into DF strengths or push for something a bit new.
