Tim Schafer Developing Sesame Street Kinect Game

Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine entertainment and creator of Brutal Legend, Psychonauts, and most recently, Stacking, is developing a new title for Xbox Kinect called Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster.

“In a truly original interactive experience, young players join Cookie Monster, Elmo and other Sesame Street characters as they explore a living storybook titled Once Upon a Monster. In the book, they make new zany monster friends from the Once Upon a Monster world and share in their adventures, solving problems, forging friendships and learning key life skills along the way. Parents and children literally become part of the whimsical storybook adventure by getting active together through dancing, jumping, flying and more.”

Schafer told Eurogamer in July that he was excited about the possibilities of Kinect, Microsoft’s motion sensing technology, but that it would be the games designed solely for the technology rather than those adapted to it that would truly prove interesting.
