The British studio Fireproof Games decided to invest part of the funds earned from The Room series in a new title developed by another team.
That’s just who exactly — the developers have not yet decided, and are now in the process of searching. Despite the fact that Fireproof Games is known primarily in the mobile market, the British are also ready to consider titles for both PC and VR.
In general, the situation is non–standard, since Fireproof Games itself is a classic indie team, whose employees, who previously worked on Burnout and Little Big Planet, have been raising money for the creation of The Room for three years, doing outsourcing. Now, having sold more than 10 million copies of The Room (the figure is relevant for March 2014), they decided to act as investors.
Exactly how much they are going to invest in a third—party project is unknown.
By the way, it took them £60 thousand to create the first The Room.
