Toxic Games’ blockbusting puzzler Q.U.B.E. has recouped its development investment in just four days, and is now officially in big profit territory.
The game is the first release backed by the Indie Fund, an initiative founded by a bunch of successful indie devs to help finance new indie devs, so as proof of concept goes, that’s worked out quite nicely.
“In the short time that it’s been available on Steam, Q.U.B.E. has sold over 12,000 copies,” reads a notice on the Indie Fund website. “Indie Fund recouped its investment in Q.U.B.E., and now we’re looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Toxic Games.”
“Our goal is to help developers get and stay independent and it will take some time to see if we’ve achieved it. With the investment already paid off and discussions in progress about bringing Q.U.B.E beyond PC, we’re feeling pretty hopeful.”
The people involved in the Indie Fund include Jonathan Blow (Braid), 2D Boy (World of Goo), Flashbang Studios (Off-Road Raptor Safari), and thatgamecompany (flOw, flOwer).
Some of the group’s upcoming projects include a first-person adventure game that started as a Half-Life mod, Dear Esther, and some kind of audiovisual geekout for iOS, Faraway.
