Previously the developer of games including PC-based tongue-in-cheek fast food management sim Hot Dog King, Australian-headquartered developer Fuzzyeyes is now developing a new (and self-funded) cross-platform steampunk title with Edge of Twilight for Xbox 360 and PS3.
Fuzzyeyes' Wei-Yao Lu has confirmed with Gamasutra that Edge of Twilight, a self-funded $7.5 million project that's believed to be due out in 2009, will increase significantly to as much as $10 million after the decision to add a PlayStation 3 SKU of the title.
In this in-depth interview, Gamasutra talks to CEO Lu about the decision, project funding, and working with its publisher Southpeak Interactive.
After a prolonged development cycle, Edge of Twilight: Return to Glory ultimately falls short due to a lack of polish,not enough to write it off entirely. #edgeoftwilight #fuzzyeyes
Josh Griffiths writes: "It’s still amazing that a crowdfunding campaign sprouted out of nowhere for a game nearly a decade old. It was only in May 2016 that Edge of Twilight made a triumphant return on Indiegogo. Its developer, Fuzzyeyes, needed funding to finally bring the game out of developmental hell and release it into the world. Unfortunately for them, nobody seemed to care."
Indiegogo is one of the first crowdfudning sites, and the Angry Video Game Nerd seemed poised to make the site a dominant force. So what happened?
