Fig, the only community publishing platform created by gamers for gamers that offers rewards and investment-based funding, and the Gygax Trust, who owns unpublished I.P. from Gary Gygax, the famed game Designer and Co-Creator of Dungeons & Dragon, are working to develop and publish video games based on his previously unpublished works that formed the inspiration for creating Dungeons & Dragons. Leveraging Fig’s community publishing platform, the Gygax Trust will work with Fig to find developers for Gary’s unpublished works, launch Fig campaigns, and publish titles. Additional information will be announced later this year.
“The worlds and characters to be discovered in my husband’s unpublished intellectual property are an incredibly important part of his legacy, therefore, it was paramount that we partner with an advanced and innovative platform such as Fig that gave us complete control of his creative vision.” – Gail Gygax
“As a gamer, I wanted to bring my father’s works to life in a medium that I enjoy. I’m looking forward to working with talented developers who love my father’s work as much as I do,” – Alex Gygax, CEO of Gygax Games.
“At Fig we offer our partners a full channel of services without forcing them to limit their creative endeavor, from helping them find the right developers for a project, to funding, and all the through the development cycle to launch. Gary’s unpublished works were some of his most cherished, shared only with his closest friends, and now we will help the Gygax Trust bring them to gamers,” Justin Bailey, CEO, Fig.
Fig will work with the newly founded Gygax Games to find developers interested in taking on the project, launching the crowdfunding campaigns and eventually publishing the titles.
Fig’s biggest crowdfunded game, Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, will be released on May 8th for PC with a console release coming later this year.
