If you follow all-around funny guy Ron Gilbert on Twitter, you’ll have noticed that the beloved adventure game designer has been doling out sneak peeks at the playable characters that will be appearing in the game he’s making with Double Fine Productions.

Surely you all know about Tim Schafer’s incredible Double Fine kickstarter adventure, which has now raised $US2.1 million. Using the money, Schafer and fellow Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert will be making a new old-school-style adventure game.
