Overview

• Fortune's Run, an early access sci-fi immersive sim with a 90% positive rating on Steam, is now on indefinite hold after its lead developer revealed a three-year prison sentence.
• The developer, known as Dizzie, disclosed that the legal case stems from a violent crime committed over five years ago, prior to their game development career.
• Dizzie has been working solo on the game since the departure of the other developer, Arachne, who left the project after recovering from a medical procedure unrelated to the case.
• A final update, including new missions, story sequences, puzzles, and numerous bug fixes, was released before the developer's upcoming incarceration, though it breaks existing save files and lacks QA testing.
• While the game remains available for purchase, Dizzie expressed hope to resume development after their release, noting that most of the remaining work involves finalizing existing prototypes.
