Super Time Force, Critter Crunch and Sword & Sworcery developer Capybara Games has joined forces with Double Fine for a special promotion at PAX East. EDGE reports the two companies will share a booth, and have produced a little OutRun style racer starring characters from both developers’ catalgoues called Capy Fine Racing GP. The game will only be available on 3.5″ floppy discs, inside the Capy Double Fine PAX combo, a boxed release of the Steam bundle. “We only made 200 boxes, and even then some of the floppies might not work, but the people who buy them will be allowed and encouraged to share the game,” Capy co-founder Nathan Vella said. PAX East runs March 22-24 in Boston.

Double Fine’s latest is a rhythm action game called Dropchord, which is headed to iOS, Mac and PC, notably requiring the Kinect-like gesture controller, Leap. It’s all very mysterious, but this teaser trailer does start to explain what the heck we’re looking at.

Double Fine has announced a new rhythm action game called Dropchord. IGN reports the title will be available on iOS and PC, and the latter will be compatible with the Leap Motion Controller, allowing for Kinect-like controls. Dropchord is due later this year and will be on show at SxSW and PAX East, at the Leap booth.

Double Fine has been in regular touch with its Kickstarter backers about progress on its crowd-funded Adventure, but has kept quiet otherwise. That seems about to change, with a new backer update noting that there’s “actually not been much public non-backer information released about the game at all” and that “the first real trailer is in the works now”. Expect to learn a lot more about the game which may have changed the industry forever in the near future. Double Fine Adventure is expected before the end of the year, on Linux, Mac and PC, and will also release on Ouya, well before it heads to other consoles.

Double Fine, like many developers, is looking for ways to regain control over certain tiles included in an auction of THQ’s remaining assets.

Throw your devil horns in the air, kiddos, because Brutal Legend may be heading to Steam if CDR database information is any indication over on The Bronasarium. So, yeah, that’s good news for those who’ve been wanting a PC version. Also noted in the database is something call the Double Fine Bundle 2013 which contains Psychonauts, Costume Quest, Stacking and Brutal Legend. Sounds great to us. Thanks, PCgamesN.
