  "account": "Curve Games has joined forces with independent developer Wayfinder Studios to publish Wyldheart, an online cooperative RPG. Stuart Disney, Curve Games' CEO, expressed optimism about the venture, stating that the company aims to invest in unique games and talented studios. This collaboration marks the next phase of Curve Games' roadmap following its acquisition by Nazara Technologies last May for £21.7 million. Wayfinder Studios, based in Sweden and founded in 2020 by former EA DICE executives, developed the game which boasts over 375,000 Steam wishlists and secured €248,000 through Kickstarter. The studio's creative director, Dennis Brännvall, highlighted the positive reception Wyldheart has received, emphasizing the importance of finding a partner like Curve Games to build on this momentum. Brännvall noted that Curve Games quickly grasped the vision behind Wyldheart, its target audience, and the type of studio Wayfinder should become. Tjernberg, Wayfinder's creative director, revealed that the studio chose to venture into a genre with limited innovation, focusing on persistent worlds and MMOs with private servers. This approach offers a more personal gaming experience akin to Minecraft or Valheim, allowing players to enjoy their own private or community-driven servers.",
