An indie game funded by fans

The developer of Interstellar Marines, Zero Point Software, has put together $ 125,000 for the development of indie title thanks to the players, as reported by GamesIndustry. The project, defined by a Danish developer "AAA indie", began in 2006, but Zero Point has never been able to reach an agreement with publishers.

"The negotiations have stalled when we realized that we had to sell our IP and that would have granted a large chunk of the gains," says the developer in an interview with GamesIndustry. "We had to find an alternative and we decided to ask people to reserve the game years before its publication.

We have not regretted this decision." Interstellar Marines of the community has more than 103,000 registered users, of which about 2100 people paid $ 39 to reserve the game.
