David Vondehaar, former Black Ops designer, is crafting a shooter inspired by David Lynch's surreal style with BulletFarm and GreaterThan Group. This upcoming title promises a unique blend of combat, pitting players against both each other and the environment, all within a Lynchian thematic framework. Unlike typical military simulations or attempts to dethrone Call of Duty, Vondehaar's project focuses on people over budget, aiming for quality with a modest team of around 50 and a 3-year development timeline.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, the highly anticipated successor to Knights of the Old Republic, is being funded by GreaterThan Group, a new investment company founded by former NetEase president Simon Zhu. Zhu's group aims to support undervalued developers, giving them the opportunity to work on dream projects without compromise. With a $100 million investment round, GreaterThan is backing not only Arcanaut Studios' Star Wars project but also BulletFarm, a studio working on a secretive, David Lynch-inspired shooter.
