Ron Gilbert leaves Double Fine:
The legendary creator of Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, The Cave, and more has left longtime-friend Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions. The split seems to be on very good terms, with Gilbert having this to say on his official blog:
"Now that The Cave is done and unleashed on an unsuspecting world (ok, we
did do a bunch of PR, so it wasn't exactly unsuspecting), it's time for
me to move on from Double Fine and plot my next move.
So many games left to be designed.
I want to thank all the amazing people at Double Fine for all their hard
work on The Cave. It was a true pleasure to work with every one of
them over the past two years. So much fun. I will miss them all. And
of course to Tim for creating the opportunity to come there and make The
Cave."
