History and Following
Most of Big Finish Games' team were members of Access Software, a company known for its diverse lineup of games, including the popular Tex Murphy series of adventure games. When the company was purchased by Microsoft (and later 2K Games), their focus was narrowed to sports games and the company was renamed to Indie Built. After Indie Built was closed, they decided that "the time was right to take the plunge back into the adventure game genre" and work began on Three Cards to Midnight.
The company has hoped to target the enduring fan base of the Tex Murphy series, while also welcoming a more casual audience that is usually intimidated by adventure games. Conners has stated that in the longer term, Big Finish aim to develop story-based games in a number of genres. The company has also acquired the rights to the Tex Murphy series, and has expressed some intent to revive the character, stating his return is no longer "an 'if,' but a 'when.'" On March 20, 2012, Big Finish Games announced an upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Project Fedora., which was successfully funded on June 16. Project Fedora went into production the following Monday.
