IndieGoGo Campaign Saves Near-Death Gaming Franchise

Skullgirls-action-squigly

How do you save a game franchise from dying? The developers at Los Angeles-based Lab Zero Games determined the only way to keep its game growing was to harness the power of fans.

In the face of brutal challenges, Lab Zero Games has won the power to continue its work on its 2012 tournament-grade 2D fighting game Skullgirls. A potent mix of Japanese anime and 1940s Old Hollywood noir, the independent 2D fighter immediately endeared itself to fans with its high-definition looks and customizable combos.

And finally, after nearly a year in suspended animation, the game will finally come alive again — thanks to the dedication of its fans and the rousing success of an ongoing IndieGoGo campaign to bring more action into the Skullgirls universe.
