Rincewind81: I dont think that Double Fine is still a "small indie team". And The Cave is released and financed by Square Enix. I hoped for a 20€ price and i am surprised to get the game with the ususal 20% off voucher from GMG for only 10€ as a preorder. That is less than my contribution for the DFA...

amok: 1- Double Fine did not make it, as such. It was Ron Gilbert and a couple of artists and coders... who happen to work at Double Fine. The team making it was very small. Gilbert worked on it by himself as a personal project for many years, it is only from the last year onwards he got some more help. It is his 'baby'.

2 - SEGA, not Square Enix.... and only as publisher.

3 - You where hoping the game was more expensive? What ever for? strangest thing I have heard. Personally I though it would be around £15, and is very pleased to see it for £9.99. I welcome sensible pricing of DD only games, and wish more developers did the same.
1. It was part of Double Fine and Gilbert is working there, so it is a Doube Fine game. Same as Stacking or Costume Quest.

2. My fault- the other japanese publisher with an S. ;)

3. No, not hoping, but expecting.

To be a bit anal - the process was not the same as Stacking or Costume Quest. Both those games vent through the same procedure (group pitching, decisions, internal teams and so on) while the cave was a one man project until recently, and then made with a very small hand-picked team. I would therefore argue that it is made by a small Indie Team, in the same way as there can be large and small teams working for example within EA (the new Tetris game for iPhone was made by a small team, though it was made by EA).... but it is nitpicking.
Vote for it on the wishlist:

The Cave
Looks like it might be a pretty cool game but to be honest so far I haven't seen anything that has "wow'ed" me in it, really hope this turns out really good.
