Misfits Attic announced Duskers 2.0, funded by Max McGuire's Stray Signal, with a teaser trailer debuting at the PC Gaming Show.
The original Duskers turns 10 this year and will be featured in summer bundles and promotions.
Misfits Attic secured funding through EGG's Demo Day, having previously received support for prototypes, including for Below the Crown.
Max McGuire, co-founder of Unknown Worlds, launched Stray Signal and signed Duskers 2.0 as its first game, citing Tim's presentation and shared indie history.
Max will contribute technically to Duskers 2.0, leveraging experience from Natural Selection 2 and Subnautica.
The indie developer community, including Max, Tim, and the author, has a long history dating back to 2008, collaborating on projects like the Organic Indie Preorder Pack.
Duskers 2.0 aims to expand on the original's survival theme, shifting from 'Explore, Adapt, Survive' to 'Explore, Adapt, Revive' with moral dilemmas and colony management.
The teaser trailer received positive feedback, validating the emotional design approach and generating significant online impressions.
EGG's community model supports developers like Tim, demonstrating success in funding indie projects amidst industry challenges.
