Fortell Games, Inc. is a Ukrainian-American video game developer based in Kyiv, Ukraine and Santa Monica, CA. It is a spinoff studio of Beatshapers, founded by game industry veteran Alexey Menshikov who previously ran the studio. The company is best known for its unexpected acquisition of the 2012 sandbox game Blocksworld in 2023 and Mixed Reality Game (now in Beta) - Holotanks.
Fortell first made a splash in late 2023 when rumors started circulating among online fan communities that Linden Lab's 2012 sandbox game Blocksworld had been sold to Fortell Games.[1] The game, originally developed by Swedish company BoldAI AB, had shut down in 2020 after a steady decline over its lifetime.[2] The news caused a stir among Blocksworld's remaining fanbase and generated a following for Fortell Games. On April 3, 2024, a post on Blocksworld's steam community was released by Fortell, announcing a Kickstarter to begin development. The Kickstarter was launched on 2 May 2024. The project achieved its funding goal on May 29, 2024, and on June 1, 2024, it was fully funded by 114.46%.
