2017’s Thimbleweed Park is the kind of game that rarely gets made today. Heck, it was the kind of game that rarely got made a decade ago. But the point-and-click adventure game from Monkey Island creator and legendary game developer Ron Gilbert was a hit, and now, a decade later, he’s making a sequel, but without crowdfunding or a publisher. Instead, he has a new, simpler solution: He got a rich guy to cover the budget.
