Efter at have tiltrukket "stor investor-interesse", der udgør mere end $800,000 for Outer Wilds, vil udvikleren 5th Cell nu søge yderligere finansiering via den nye platform kaldet Fig. 5th Cell er mest kendt for Scribblenauts-serien, men de har også udviklet Drawn to Life til iOS. Kampagnen for denne nye spilserie begynder d. 21 oktober, og det gør Outer Wilds til det andet projekt på Fig.
"At 5TH Cell, we're excited about our latest original IP, which introduces new gameplay innovations and is set in a deep and engaging universe unlike any other. We look forward to bringing on investors who want to share in the future financial success of the title, while helping us to bring the game's unique universe to life," sagde Jeremiah Slaczka, CEO og kreativ instruktør hos 5TH Cell. "We watched Fig's first campaign, Outer Wilds, attract over $1 million in potential accredited investment and felt that of all the funding platforms, Fig's was the perfect fit for our new IP."
Andre udviklere der vil benytte sig af Fig, der i øvrigt er en Kickstarter-inspireret platform eksklusivt for spilprojekter, inkludere Obsidian Entertainment, Double Fine, inXile Entertainment og Harmonix.
