They&amp;#x27;ve recently released Broken Age, a successfully-kickstarted effort. Act I is out now and is absolutely wonderful (in my personal opinion), with Act II still in development.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Age&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Broken_Age&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those not in the know, Double Fine Productions was founded by Tim Schafer, who is ex-LucasArts and was lead on Grim Fandango and heavily involved in the Monkey Island series too.</text></comment>

Of particular note are the Blackwell series, To The Moon, and 
Kentucky Route Zero.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gog.com/games/adventure##release=a05&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.gog.com&amp;#x2F;games&amp;#x2F;adventure##release=a05&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
