The company's next game was ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'', which had a troubled publishing history. Though expecting to develop a sequel, publisher ElectronicArts showed no interest in funding it, and for the first time, Double Fine faced the prospect of lay-offs in order to remain afloat. The company was saved by prototypes staff members developed during the "Amnesia Fortnight" in the middle of Brütal Legend's development, a two-week period in which employees halted all work on the company's current projects to work on game concepts proposed by employees, and inspired by similar breaks taken by Hong Kong film maker Creator/WongKarWai. The resulting products, small but full games in their own right, were showed to various publishers and became ''VideoGame/CostumeQuest'', ''VideoGame/{{Stacking}}'', ''VideoGame/IronBrigade'', and ''Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster''. Double Fine also received financial support by "fun investor" [[http://www.dracogen.com/ Dracogen,]] who funded the Mac port of ''Stacking'', the PC port of ''Costume Quest'', and the company's first iOS and free-to-play game ''VideoGame/MiddleManagerOfJustice''.
