Tim Schafer is a video game designer, director and writer. Schafer spent over a decade at Lucasfilm Games, working his way up from tester to co-write classic point-and-click adventures such as The Secret of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, then lead, design and write critically-acclaimed titles including Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.
In 2000, Schafer founded Double Fine Productions - where he designed games including story-based 3D platformer Psychonauts and Metal-music-based open-world title Brutal Legend. Generally, Double Fine's games have moved away from the adventure genre (which many publishers felt was dead), but have maintained the classic adventure approach to story.
