Cuba’s self-proclaimed first indie game seeks crowdfunding

Forget about cigars — Cuba’s gaming business is about to open up.

Josuhe Pagliery is a multimedia artist and the founder of Empty Head Games, an independent development studio in Cuba. Now, the company is using Indigogo to try to fund Savior, which it is calling Cuba’s first indie game. Savior is a 2D platformer with hand-drawn animation. It is asking for $10,000, with $3,706 raised with a month left to go in its campaign. It is targeting an early 2018 release for PC and Mac.
