Dev's 3-Year Prison Sentence Halts Steam FPS Game Development

Summary

  • Development of the Steam FPS Fortune's Run has been halted due to the creator's 3-year prison sentence.
  • The game is now in early access limbo.

Fans of the Steam FPS Fortune's Run will be disappointed to learn that the game may remain stuck in early access for an extended period. The game's sole developer, known as Dizzie, has been sentenced to three years in prison, causing a unique halt in development. While delays in Steam games are common due to financial or technical issues, this situation is unprecedented.

Before the news of Dizzie's prison sentence, Fortune's Run had garnered significant success on Steam, boasting a "Very Positive" rating. Players have lauded its nostalgic art style and innovative gameplay, even though it's still in early access. However, fans will have to wait for any further updates until Dizzie is released. While other games like Half-Life 2 have overcome development challenges, the future of Fortune's Run remains uncertain.

Dizzie announced their prison sentence in a Steam update on January 14, explaining that the crime occurred before they began working on Fortune's Run. They described themselves as "a very violent person" during that time. This situation is not isolated, as other gaming personalities like streamer Johnny Somali have also faced legal issues recently, though delays due to prison sentences are rare.

Progress on Fortune's Run Won't Continue Until Developer Is Released From Prison

Originally, Fortune's Run had another team member who left the project after recovering from a botched surgery and losing interest in game development. With Dizzie as the only developer, the game's progress will be completely paused during their three-year sentence, starting in February 2025. The Steam page still lists an early access exit target of 2026, but this goal is now unlikely to be met. However, games like Satisfactory have taken over five years to leave early access, so a three-year delay isn't unprecedented in the indie game community.

Dizzie remains optimistic about completing the game post-release from prison. In the meantime, fans can continue playing the current version of Fortune's Run, and there are numerous other early access shooters on Steam to explore until Dizzie can resume work.
