Indie Fund, the group put together by several independent developers to give fellow indies an alternative to traditional publisher funding, has recouped the $90,000 it invested in Toxic Games' firstperson puzzler Q.U.B.E.
In a post on the Indie Fund website the team reveals that it has recouped its entire investment in just four days, after 12,000 copies were sold on Steam.
"We're looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Toxic Games," the post reads. "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."
Indie Fund was formed in 2010 by indie luminaries including World Of Goo developer 2D Boy, Braid creator Jonathan Blow and Kellee Santiago of Flower studio thatgamecompany. The fund has backed Dear Esther, the striking Half-Life mod out next month and reviewed in our latest issue, E237.
