The Steam FPS game, Fortune's Run, faces an indefinite delay due to its creator's three-year prison sentence. This unique circumstance, unlike typical delays stemming from financial or technical issues, leaves the early access title in limbo.
Prior to this news, Fortune's Run enjoyed positive reception on Steam, praised for its nostalgic art style and engaging gameplay. However, all development is now paused until the sole developer, Dizzie, completes their sentence, beginning in February 2025. While the specific crime remains undisclosed, Dizzie acknowledged past violent behavior. This situation, though unusual in game development, highlights the unpredictable nature of the industry.
Initially, Fortune's Run had a second team member, but their departure following a medical complication and disinterest in game development left Dizzie as the sole developer. The game's Steam page currently targets a 2026 release from early access, a goal now highly unlikely. However, lengthy early access periods are not uncommon for indie titles; Satisfactory, for example, spent over five years in early access.
Dizzie assures fans that the game's completion is still intended upon release from prison. The game remains playable in its current state, and players can explore other excellent early access shooters on Steam while awaiting further updates.
