About a dozen folks at Double Fine were shown the door as a publisher apparently backed out of funding an unannounced project that had apparently already started development.
The spin calls it, “an unexpected cancellation of the title by the publisher”, but it hard to say what exactly happened because we don’t know which game it was or who the publisher was.
We has been confirmed by Tim Shaffer is that the following titles are still in development, on track, and remain unaffected: Broken Age, Massive Chalice, and Grim Fandango Remastered.
So far Double Fine has ad nothing additional to add on the situation.
