David Gaider, a renowned writer previously associated with the Dragon Age series and a co-founder of Summerfall Studios, is reportedly setting his sights on a fresh creative endeavor. He envisions a light-hearted heist role-playing game as the studio’s next project, indicating a potentially distinct shift in tone and genre from their earlier releases.
Summerfall Studios, which began operations in 2017, has released two titles so far: 2023’s Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, and Malys, a deckbuilder focused on confronting demonic entities, which launched last year. Despite the unique concepts, neither game found widespread commercial triumph. Consequently, the realization of Gaider’s upcoming heist RPG concept hinges entirely on the studio’s ability to secure adequate financial backing. This information comes from recent reporting by Rock Paper Shotgun.
