Double Fine is wasting no time diving into its next game. Just months after the release of *Keeper*, Tim Schafer and his team have revealed the studio’s upcoming project: *Kiln*.
As its name suggests, *Kiln* takes players into the realm of pottery, but with a unique twist—it’s a multiplayer brawler. The game encourages players to build their own pots from scratch. You’ll be able to customize the size, shape, and overall look of your pot while assigning various attributes and selecting different weight classes.
Once crafted, these pots enter the main game, where they compete against creations from players around the world. Depending on your pot’s design, it may perform different functions, such as carrying liquids or other objects, adding strategic depth to the gameplay.
When your pot is ready for battle, you can participate in several multiplayer game modes. One standout example is the Quench mode, where teams of four players attempt to pour water on the opposing team’s kiln to gain the upper hand.
Double Fine plans to release multiple maps for *Kiln*, each tailored to different game modes. These maps will feature unique layouts that encourage diverse strategies and gameplay styles.
With *Kiln*, Double Fine is blending creativity and competition in a fresh, pottery-themed multiplayer experience that’s sure to captivate fans. Keep an eye out for more updates as the game progresses toward release!
