[h1]Dear '83 Steam Community! [/h1] At Blue Dot Games, we're excited to let you know that after a long period of downtime, we're officially [b]resuming development of the '83 project![/b] Some of you may have noticed our earlier announcements (we acquired the rights for '83 back in 2023, and had a short segment at the #PCGamingShow this summer) but [b]we did not have the funds to support an actual professional team of paid developers[/b]. [h3]That changes today![/h3] After a long series of meetings and negotiations with various investors and publishers, the funding came from the most unexpected place of the games industry: our Discord server! ːsteamthumbsupː We would like to use this space to express our thanks and gratitude to a fellow Rising Storm 2 fan [i][b]Kevin Green aka Beer_Brigade[/b][/i] who decided to fund 5 months of development of '83! Learn more [b]about our plans[/b] and get to know Kevin in our Dev Talk Q&A video below: [previewyoutube=JxfB3d7LjuU;full][/previewyoutube] To sum the Q&A video up: we're a [b]small bunch of experienced game developers[/b] who can finally make our favourite game happen. We've previously worked on [b]Red Orchestra and Rising Storm games (including the OG mods!)[/b], as well as have ties to some of the original '83 developers at Antimatter Games. In fact, [b]Sturt Jeffery, the Lead Designer of '83 at Antimatter Games[/b], has joined us as well! If you don't remember exactly what '83 was all about, we will let Sturt remind you in another Q&A video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiiDjQRoU48 [h3]Please stay tuned - we'll have more news for you soon-ish![/h3]
