This news comes alongside word that Outersloth has secured funding from the aforementioned developers, though it's not clear how much has been put in. The label has said, however, that it has 13 games signed up. 

"All it means is we have even more money every year to fund games," community manager Victoria Tran wrote. 

"It still is run mainly by Forest and Victoria (also thanks to Kristi, Mike, and Sam for the help), but now Casey and [MYSTERY FRIEND] get to look through our pitches and fund whatever stands out to them. If a game is funded by either one of them, we’ll be sure to announce it with appropriate credits so you know who chose what. But it’ll be the same deal, same terms, etc." 

She continued: "Casey and [MYSTERY FRIEND] get to choose how much or little they want to fund, so long as it happens! So while we can’t say it increases Outersloth’s available pool of funds by [x] amount, we can guarantee they are indeed regularly throwing down some cold hard cash to get some cool games made."
