Editing Double Fine (section)

=== Dracogen funding ===
Double Fine has received financial investment from Steven Dengler's investment company Dracogen. The investment started as a result of a [[Twitter]] conversation between Dengler and Schafer in March 2011, where Schafer commented that the cost of bringing Double Fine's games to personal computers would be high. Dengler asked Schafer for a monetary value, though at the time Schafer believed Dengler was joking around and offered a value of around {{US$|300,000|long=no}}. As more formal conversations ensued, however, the company worked with Dengler to set an amount, signing an initial deal to bring ''Psychonauts'' to the [[macOS]] and to bring ''Costume Quest'' and ''Stacking'' to [[Microsoft Windows]].<ref name="polygon df">{{cite web | url = http://www.polygon.com/features/2012/12/13/3726930/double-fine-double-feature-tim-schafer-dracogen-kickstarter | title = Double Fine Double Feature | date = December 13, 2012 | access-date = December 14, 2012 | publisher = [[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121215205345/http://www.polygon.com/features/2012/12/13/3726930/double-fine-double-feature-tim-schafer-dracogen-kickstarter | archive-date = December 15, 2012 | url-status = live}}</ref>

Following this initial agreement, a subsequent deal was made with Dracogen for three [[iOS]] mobile games, the first of which is ''[[Middle Manager of Justice]]''. The game itself is based on another idea from the Amnesia Fortnights, a simulation game with [[role playing video game|RPG]] elements that involves managing teams of superheroes and then fighting as those heroes in battles.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://kotaku.com/5939154/double-fines-next-game-is-for-iphone-and-its-about-superheroes | title = Double Fine's Next Game Is For iOS and It's All About Superheroes | date = August 30, 2012 | access-date = September 10, 2012 | publisher = Kotaku | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120902053038/http://kotaku.com/5939154/double-fines-next-game-is-for-iphone-and-its-about-superheroes | archive-date = September 2, 2012 | url-status = live}}</ref> Dengler's children helped to provide some of the drawings of superheroes for the game.<ref name="polygon df"/> ''Middle Manager of Justice'' was released for iOS in December 2012,<ref name="polygon df"/> and the Android version was released on August 14, 2013.<ref name="Android">{{cite web |url=http://mixnmojo.com/news/Justice-is-Now-Managed-On-Android-Devices-As-Well |publisher=[[The International House of Mojo]] |date=August 17, 2013 |access-date=August 17, 2013 |title=Justice is Now Managed on Android Devices As Well |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130820074214/http://mixnmojo.com/news/Justice-is-Now-Managed-On-Android-Devices-As-Well |archive-date=August 20, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Dropchord]], a motion-based [[rhythm game|rhythm]] [[puzzle game]] for macOS, Microsoft Windows, iOS and Android, was as well financed by Dracogen. It was a launch title for the [[Leap Motion]] Airspace app store when the Leap Motion controller was released on July 22, 2013.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/25/4266680/leap-motion-gesture-controller-delay | title = Leap Motion gesture controller delayed to July 22 | date = April 25, 2013 | access-date = May 2, 2013 | publisher = [[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130427235642/http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/25/4266680/leap-motion-gesture-controller-delay | archive-date = April 27, 2013 | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://mixnmojo.com/news/Double-Fines-Dischord-is-now-called-Dropchord | title = Double Fine's Dischord is now called Dropchord | date = March 25, 2013 | access-date = March 25, 2013 | publisher = [[The International House of Mojo]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130427054038/http://mixnmojo.com/news/Double-Fines-Dischord-is-now-called-Dropchord | archive-date = April 27, 2013 | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://mixnmojo.com/news/Dropchord-Leaps-To-PCMac-AndroidOuyaiOS-soon |title=Dropchord Leaps to PC/Mac.

As of 2012, Dengler has invested about one million dollars into Double Fine, which Schafer said has "paid off for both sides".<ref name="polygon df"/> Schafer has said that Dengler's funding has allowed the company to realize the ability of self-publishing, and believes they would be able to self-publish a triple-A title with Dracogen's financial assistance.<ref name="polygon df"/>
