The next Epic MegaGrant recipient is Bluecurse Studios. Based in Edmonton, Canada, the developer is composed of husband-and-wife duo Jordan Gonzalez and Erisa Liu, respectively. The couple is working full time on their first game, Snacko. Described as a “farming cat-venture” title, the passion project has players fixing up a ruined island. Inspired by their real-life cats, Snacko features a cute and retro art style. Initially fueled by a vocal online fanbase, Snacko received a MegaGrant, which the duo credits for solidifying their pathway to securing a publisher along with providing the team more development runway and a confidence boost. Snacko is currently set to release on Nintendo Switch, Steam, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
