Work on Day of the Tentacle Remastered is very early, Schafer said. Double Fine is still discussing what it wants to do. But one thing sounds certain: The game will be in 2D and will stay true to the Chuck Jones cartoon-inspired visuals of the 1993 original.

"We'll add a couple pixels here and there," Schafer said. "We're not going to go 3D."

Schafer said getting permission from Lucasfilm to make the Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle remasters is "a miracle," considering the corporate ownership of those old LucasArts games.

"There were just some people at Disney, Sony and Lucasfilm that care about these games," he said. "They're old enough that some of these people who are executives played them when they were kids. I've been really impressed with the fact that these kind of deals have come together because there's so many reasons for this deal not to happen. There's so many parties involved and so many people who could've said no, that it really took a passionate drive by people in the right places to escort it through the process."

And now that the door to revisit those games has been kicked wide open, Schafer says there's always a chance for more of those classic games to get a similar treatment — like Full Throttle, for example. They're games that Schafer seems more than happy to revisit.
