Work on Steam FPS Game Paused Because Dev is Going to Prison for 3 Years

The Steam FPS game Fortune's Run faces an extended delay due to its creator's three-year prison sentence. Currently in early access, the game's development is completely halted. While development delays in Steam games are common, usually stemming from financial or technical challenges, Fortune's Run's predicament is unique: its sole developer is incarcerated.

Prior to this news, Fortune's Run enjoyed positive reception on Steam, boasting a "Very Positive" rating and praise for its art style and gameplay. However, future updates are indefinitely postponed. While many games have overcome protracted development hurdles, the game's future remains uncertain.

Developer Dizzie revealed the prison sentence in a January 14th Steam update, stating the crime predated Fortune's Run's development and occurred during a period of their life characterized by violence. This situation, though unusual for game development, highlights the unpredictable circumstances impacting game creation.

The game's original team member departed after a surgery recovery, leaving Dizzie as the sole developer. Development will cease entirely until their release in February 2025. The Steam page's 2026 early access completion target is now highly improbable. Despite this, the indie game community has seen far longer early access periods, making a three-year delay not unprecedented.

Dizzie assures fans the game's completion is still the goal upon release from prison. The current early access version remains playable, and players can explore other excellent early access shooters on Steam in the interim.
