They discuss about Schafer's career, starting from when he
was fresh out of college and hired by LucasArts as a tester. He then became
co-writer, programmer and additional designer for games at LucasArts such as The
Secret of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle.
Schafer describes his time being
at LucasArts as a "Crazy, magical,
and happy time. We were really spoilt at the time and worked right out of college,
it was great because of the freedom and creative ideas." Schafer talks
about being co-writer on Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle saying "It is good to remember how scary it
was to lead my first project and how much safer I felt knowing I had a co
project leader."
In 2000, Schafer founded Double Fine Productions after he spent
over a decade at LucasArts, developing games such as Brutal Legends and Costume
Quest.
Schafer talks about his
experiences brainstorming ideas for games, pitching the ideas to publishers and
thinking of budget whilst creating games.
I enjoyed listening to the long career of Schafer and the
experiences he has had working for LucasArts to owning his own company.
