WorthPlaying writes, "What happens when you mix farts, classical music, Russian Matryoshka dolls and a slightly dystopian outlook of the world? You might end up with some wicked dreams, but if you're a game designer like Lee Petty, you might just come up with a game like Stacking. Part adventure, part puzzler, Stacking tells the story of the Blackmores, a poor family with a crippling debt. Since they're unable to pay, the evil overlord comes to claim the children and put them to work — well, all of them except Charlie. You see, Charlie is the world's smallest Matryoshka doll so no one thinks he can do anything. No one except his mom. She believes in him, so Charlie sets out to save the family."
It looks like a third entry isn't happening soon.
Psychonauts 2 has been the studios most profitable release, despite being on Gamepass, and a third title is already open and on the table when the time comes.
They wanted to do a big, new IP release coming into the acquisition being they would have funding they wouldn't have otherwise. That was obviously greenlit.
He was always gonna make a new ip once MS bought them.
The correct dicision imo, comebk to P3 at a later date.
Just how do studios cope with the pressure to "produce a worthy sequel"?
I'm about 9 episodes into this and it's great. They've been recording it for long, long time, pre Kickstarter and Rhombus.
Double Fine announced that volume 2 of the Psychonauts 2 Original Soundtrack is available now to stream and purchase. The second volume lists at 17 songs and features Helmut’s song “Cosmic 1” sung by Jack Black.
