'Video games are hard - it's hard to get to the finish line and it's hard to release them,' says Brungardt, adding, 'I know we're going to get back to what we want to make - it's a matter of time. Today Ghetto Golf and Nexuiz are on IllFonic's back burner as developers work on a 'Lovecraft-inspired' fantasy game, Revival, and assorted work-for-hire projects.

IllFonic subsequently acquired the rights to first-person shooter Nexuiz in 2010 and aimed to bring it to market with a publishing deal with THQ, but THQ went bankrupt in 2012 and its distribution went kaput.ĭespite the loss of potential back-end royalties, 'It's been a great learning experience,' says Brungardt. The game has 9 different weapons and 100 unique Dynamic Mutators. The only thing I miss was having basic deathmatch their design was entirely team based, which I guess makes sense since that was the majority of online Nexuiz Classic servers anyway, but I still missed the. One of the levels is a remake of a Nexuiz Classic map 'Strength'. I was extremely happy about how this turned out Illfonic got the gameplay perfect and really enhanced what Nexuiz had been before. The Nexuiz game consists of 9 levels (6 TDM, 3 CTF).

Total production time on the project (with a full team) is estimated at 1 1/2 years. While they worked on music together - and will again - Brungardt says Saadiq's interest in appearing video game led to the concept for Ghetto Golf, a game that remains in the works.īrungardt relocated to Denver from Los Angeles to work with Gonzales from a garage, then a studio apartment, then offices above bars on Broadway before relocating to the current offices off Speer Boulevard in June. IllFonic is a small indie team of 10 developers based out of Denver, Colorado. 'I've been working with Raphael since I was just out of college,' says Brungardt. Our staff is composed of video game, music, and technology veterans redefining how games are made and marketed.

IllFonic is an independent video game studio located in Colorado, Washington, and Texas. IllFonic, an independent developer, has announced that it is producing Nexuiz for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. 'We're really skilled with CryEngine,' says Brungardt. The move has paid off in the form of projects with Disney, AMD and Crytek.

After Golden Triangle-based videogame developer IllFonic lost its publisher to bankruptcy last year, Founder Charles Brungardt pivoted to contract work to keep the company afloat. We had the opportunity to ask Kedhrin Gonzalez, Creative Director at Illfonic, about Nexuiz the upcoming arena shooter for XBLA.
