Grumpy Gamer, the personal blog of Ron Gilbert, reveals the designer is parting ways with Double Fine Entertainment following the release of The Cave, their new adventure game (thanks nin via Kotaku/NeoGAF). He thanks the development team for their hard work on the game and Tim Schafer for creating the opportunity to create it. The Monkey Island writer also discusses his future plans:

For the short term, Clayton Kauzlaric and I have been toiling away on another iOS side project that I'm going to focus on over the next few months. It's called Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover the Ultimate Sea Shanty: A Musical Match-3 Pirate RPG. I'll post some screen shots in the next few days.

I also have that PAX Australia keynote to write. How did I ever let them talk me into doing that. So much fun. So much pain. Maybe I'll just do a 45 minute Q and A session.
