Is Double Fine founder Tim Schafer considering Wii U support for his studio’s games? Some fans just cannot help but wonder. At least one has asked the question, addressed directly to the founder, via Twitter.
Double Fine is working on a project and being known for developing adventure games, a fan just want to know if it is considering a Wii U version. This fan says that the touch screen seems like a great feature for adventure games. Schafer responds with a short tweet that shows both his excitement and his apprehension: “Possible! That’s a whole new engine for us though.” He does not discard the idea but he is also realistic about the possibility.
The developer is at the moment involved in a fundraising campaign with the help of Kickstarter. The aim is to raise at least $400,000 to fund its new game, which is reportedly a point and click adventure game in the classic style. The fundraiser is rather successful, so successful that the goal was met in just eight hours. As of the moment, Double Fine has been able to raise over 1.6 million dollars. With the rate that it is going, the fundraiser could have gathered a lot more by the time that you are reading this. Tim Schafer and his team at Double Fine is known for developing some great games, such as Psychonauts, Grim Fandango and Brütal Legend.
Schafer has not given his word on the Wii U port of the new game but at least he is not decidedly against it for now. In fact, he manages to exude excitement through that small Tweet. We are still hoping that he at least considers the portable in the future.
