Gilbert Reveals Art For Double Fine Project

Obviously we've known that Ron Gilbert has been working with/at Tim Schafer's Double Fine for over a year now, but ON WHAT we'd regularly scream at the sky. Then Double Fine revealed they were basically ignoring the PC for all their games, and we crossed them out of our Christmas lists and spank banks, and got on with our lives. Then they threw us all by releasing Costume Quest on PC, raising hopes that further projects will also reach our shores. So it is that I hold hope in my belly that this Gilbert/Schafer project will be adorned by my PC. Because apparently it's an idea that predates even Maniac Mansion.

Don't forget that it was the combination of Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer that brought us the Monkey Island games. That's why it's a partnership worth noticing, even if Schafer maybe isn't working directly on the project. Gilbert posts on his blog,

"Here are a couple of fine pieces of concept art from the game I'm making with the amazing folks at Double Fine. I'm so excited. This is an idea that has been in my head for a long long long time. It predates Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island. It's a game that needed to be made... That's all I can say right now, but more will follow later."
