Tim Schafer talks about next game, and the past

As Mojo points out, there is a new interview up with Tim Schafer — the designer of Psychonauts, which you of course knew already — talking about himself, his early days back when he worked at LucasArts, and the next game that's on the agenda for Double Fine.
"I just wish we had the luxury of having game design where you [the game designer] think something will be popular so you fight for it. People may not understand it, but you have to give them the chance to like it. That gets harder and harder."
There's not much to go on when it comes to guessing what this new title will be, other than that it's "different from anything [Tim has] done before". Still, it makes for some good reading, and hearing about the development of classics like Monkey Island is always good. Read!
