The last major retail release by developer Tim Schafer was 2009's Brutal Legend, and since then, his company Double Fine's output has been smaller, digitally distributed titles like Stacking, Iron Brigade and Costume Quest, or developmental age games like Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster and Happy Action Theater.

Tim Schafer and Double Fine are extremely ambitious with their next game because they'll be targeting their most critical audience yet: the two-year-old. The greatest threat was "feature creep".
