Soo, now they have Wasteland 3 on Fig
For 8 years Aubrey worked on Wolfire games like Overgrowth and Receiver, but in 2015 he decided to depart on a journey into making his own games. After a year of experimental prototypes, 12 East Games was founded in order to fully develop something new.
Trackless is an atmospheric first-person exploration and puzzle game set in the distant future. Inspired by classic games like Zork, Shadowgate, andKing’s Quest, Trackless uses text input that allow you to interact with characters and objects.
In the game, you play as a Seeker, someone who has decided to take a journey into the mountains to attempt a series of trials that, if completed, will lead you to a monolith called The Object. No one knows what The Object is or where it came from, but clues exist surrounding this intractable mystery.
Unlike many adventures games, interacting with characters is a critical element of completing the trials and finding The Object. Along the way, you will learn about this strange future inspired by real places and ideas. There will be many people to meet. Some may want to help you, while others might want to keep you in the dark.
Exploring a diverse set of locations and solving puzzles will earn you currency, which you can buy upgrades for your phone and gain access to new areas. Your in-game phone will help you find clues and give you special abilities. Would you choose the Black Ice or Cute Meow?
No exploration game can be complete without music. We are super excited to be working with MAKEUP AND VANITY SET for the Original Sound Track for Trackless. Perhaps, you have heard their latest work for Brigador.
Announcing the first Fig campaign of 2017!
Happy New Year! We're excited to share with you the very first Fig campaign of the year:
Little Bug by Buddy System
In Little Bug, you play as a lost girl and her powerful firefly, harnessing their telekinetic connection to jump, swing, and destroy obstacles. The dark world of Little Bug features atmospheric low poly scenes splashed with mysterious hand drawn apparitions, accompanied by a gorgeously eerie original soundtrack - interested in learning more?
Loose Tooth Industries Inc. (d/b/a "Fig"), the only crowdfunding platform and publisher that sells SEC-qualified shares tied to individual game projects, announced it has raised $7.84 million in Series A financing.
Spark Capital and Greycroft led the round, with participation from Resolute Ventures, NextView Ventures, and Draft Ventures. The investment will allow Fig to accelerate the number of innovative game projects made available to investors and backers on its unique crowdfunding platform, which lets fans support games through either rewards-based campaigns or by investing in shares tied to a game project securities, such as Fig Game Shares™.
Fig kicks off $500k funding initiative aimed at late-stage game dev woes
Newsbrief: The crowdfunding company Fig has announced a new initiative focused on offering additional support to games successfully funded on the platform.
Through the Fig Finishing Fund, the company has set aside $500,000 to help developers cover the costs of localization, marketing, final polishing efforts, and the potential costs of launching on a platform like Steam Direct.
The fund is up and running as of today, and will continue through the rest of 2017.
Developers are guaranteed at least $20,000 in additional, Fig-provided funding if their crowdfunding campaign is both successful and manages to attract 1,000 or more total backers.
Fig hopes this additional financial infusion will help indie games tackle some of the late-stage development hurdles, like distribution and visibility, that it says can stand in the way of a successful game launch.
The company has encouraged interested developers to reach out to Fig founder and CEO Justin Bailey via email at justin@fig.co for more information.
These baseless accusations always make my piss boil. I hope I won't forget to come back to these videos after P2 gets released and nobody gets scammed, and say: WHAT CAN YOU SAY NOW, RETARDS?
Yes, you could reserve an investment and add that to the funding. But that was only available to unaccredited investors and they couldn't really make it work any other way, because they didn't get their SEC approval yet. What would the other option be? They reserve the investment but it doesn't show up in the funding page? But that wouldn't show a correct picture about the campaign either way. In that case the campaign might have failed on paper, but in reality it didn't because there were investors lining up with their money, it's just that their reservations didn't show up on the page.These baseless accusations always make my piss boil.

Baseless. He adds several thousand of dollars to the Kickstarter and a few seconds later it shows up as added funds. That is not strange at all, no no. Kinda big red flag for me, all to be able to get that sweet real money from actual people that pay, aka the pledger. Check some other FIG campaigns. Solo, got 68 thousand, wanted 64 thousand but only 18k was from actual pledges, 50k is fantasy money. This game wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for fantasy money.
