Receiving the Starter Fund support is an incredible opportunity for Fetch Quest at a pivotal stage in the studio’s journey. I applied because I wanted to take what I’d built independently and give it the opportunity to grow into something more. The funding will allow me to bring talented developers and specialists together around John Brick, expanding the studio’s development capabilities and building the foundations for a sustainable independent games business. It’s an important step towards moving beyond solo development and creating a team and production pipeline that can support original games long after John Brick.
Having the Starter Fund support at this stage means a great deal. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and excited to see what Fetch Quest can become!
