Originally slated for a 2013 release on XBLA, PSN, and Steam, Blossom Minds’ physics based platformer Walter faces an uncertain future as the studio attempts to secure outside financial support. The developer delivered this bad news: “As of today, with most known opportunities investigated, we’re preparing to put the studio on hold if we can’t find a solution in the next few days. Walter can’t be released without a financial support for the remaining development.”

Last year, Blossom Minds found themselves in luck after an unnamed publisher expressed interest in their story-driven game that followed the cute, googly-eyed protagonist Walter. “Right after our debut trailer was released last year, we got a solid opportunity with a publisher. As a part of this deal, besides Steam, we’ve been upgrading Walter for next-generation consoles (ps4 & durango), rewriting our in-house engine and boosting graphic assets. We’ve been working and negociating [sic] for months.” With the publisher suddenly backing out at the last minute, Blossom Minds needs help and fast. Best of luck to the entire team in securing whatever finances are needed.
