CUBE ROOTS AND DEVOLVER DIGITAL ANNOUNCE DUNGEON HEARTS
- Sliding Gems and Slaying Beasts in 2013 -
Austin, TX – Independent developer Cube Roots and the devastatingly handsome gents of
Devolver Digital have announced a partnership to bring the puzzle/RPG hybrid Dungeon Hearts
to PC, Mac, and mobile devices in early 2013. Cube Roots’ debut game features a nostalgic
blend of classic RPG elements fused into a vibrant match-three puzzle game for a wholly unique experience.
“Dungeon Hearts has been a labor of love for a while now. As an indie it can be tough bringing
your project to a publisher for fear they are going to strip away the developer's personality from the final product,” said Cube Roots founder Chris Pavia. “It has been quite the opposite with the guys over at Devolver Digital, it's been great working with people who embrace the weird and quirky.”
The partnership on Dungeon Hearts is the result of the Devolver Digital’s “Pitch Fork Parker”
initiative launched at GDC 2012 and the first in a series of games signed by the publisher’s
extraordinarily unreserved executive.
“The original pitch was for Dungeon Hearts to be medieval brothel simulator,” claimed Fork
Parker, CFO of Devolver Digital. “I recommended we shift development towards the puzzle/RPG hybrid because medieval brothel simulators just don’t sell anymore.”
