Indie studio Henchman & Goon grabs $400,000 investment from Altered Ventures

Indie developer Henchman & Goon announced earlier today that venture capital firm Altered Ventures has invested over $400,000 in its studio. The Norway-based team is developing the co-op puzzle game Pode, which still doesn’t have a release date yet but has won awards for its adorable artwork and polished aesthetic.

Though still in development, Pode won Best Casual Game at the Game Connection Development Awards last month, and it was nominated in two other categories. It is Henchman & Goon’s second title after its 2015 platformer Flem. The studio is a six-person team that officially formed in 2012.
