Thimbleweed Park 2 Gets Private Funding, Sidestepping Publisher Deals

Ron Gilbert funds Thimbleweed Park 2 with a wealthy anonymous investor, choosing private funding over Kickstarter or traditional publisher deals. The plan is a realistic budget of just over $1 million for two years of development, aiming for an early 2028 release, with Gilbert arguing publisher terms often take the lion’s share of profits and aren’t fair for creators.
