14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Hidden Path Entertainment reveals that the mysterious investor that is supporting the company while it is finishing development on Defense Grid 2 is Dracogen, an investment firm that has also backed Double Fine in the past.
Steven Dengler, the leader of the company, is quoted by VG247 as saying that, “I’m a huge fan of the original game, and it’s tremendously satisfying to provide resources to help get the game made. I love that crowd sourced funding provided the first step along the journey.”
Initially, Hidden Path Entertainment sought to get money from fans for Defense Grid 2, but the process failed and the team promised that it would complete as much of the game as possible using its internal resources.
Defense Grid 2 will be out on the PC in the first half of 2014.
