Who is [MYSTERY FRIEND]?
Outersloth, the recently-revealed publishing arm of developer Innersloth, the studio behind indie mega-hit Among Us, has partnered with Slay the Spire developer Casey Yano and a mysterious “indie friend” to right at least some industry wrongs. In an era of cancellations and closures, Outersloth has reportedly signed 13 projects, sharing Innersloth’s success by funding new games, and has “planned for years ahead, and our budget is looking good!”
Relayed by GamesIndustry.biz, Yano and this undeniably alluring other developer will review pitches for the fund. In a blog post, communications director Victoria Tran wrote: “Casey and [MYSTERY FRIEND] get to choose how much or little they want to fund. While we can’t say it increases Outersloth’s available pool of funds by [x] amount, we can guarantee they are indeed regularly throwing down some cold hard cash to get some cool games made.”
Are you as intrigued as we are by the prospect of a mysterious, moneyed benefactor taking a hand in the Outerrsloth selection process alongside Yano? Who is [MYSTERY FRIEND]? In the comments section below, let us know who you think the secretive entrepreneur is.
