A recent update by one of the company’s representatives, concerning the rumours surrounding Double Fine’s trademark filing, states that the Kickstarter project has no affiliation with ‘The Cave’.

“While we can’t comment on unannounced projects, we can say that Double Fine’s Kickstarter-funded adventure game has not been started, designed, or even imagined yet. No trademarks have been filed on its behalf,” a Double Fine rep told GameSpot.

On the one hand I’m personally glad to hear that the development team seems to be waiting for the kickstarter time to run out so that they can make full use of the funds on the other hand this does bring up the question what The Cave actually is.

In a recent video discussion between Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer, Schafer mentioned that a new graphics engine was likely to be developed for the upcoming title, could this possibly be it?
