THE FUSE

In January 2025, the solo developer of immersive shooter Fortune’s Run announced that development of the game was going on an indefinite pause due to her being sent to prison. While Dizzie never gave clear details of the situation, she said it was a result of her having “lived a very different life” and been “a very violent person” in the years before she became a game developer, a fact which had caught up with her in the form of a three-year sentence that represented “the consequences of [her] actions.” Well, after just over a year, Dizzie has posted a new update to Steam saying a parole board has released her, and she’s back to work on the extremely well-received Early Access game.
