Dice 2013: Thatgamecompany was bankrupt when they shipped Journey

Looks like the article has been updated with the full video of the presentation:

well worth watching.

Journey really was make or break but I think JC made it clear that they spit shined it and crosssed the 2 year development time - a choice made to better the game - on their own accord. And he did say that they got money from SONY at the 2 year mark.

it was a great presentation. I wonder what JC is going to do next.

So I just watched Jenova Chen's DICE speech and I have to say the title of this thread and Laura Park's incredibly sensational tweet are incredibly misleading.

This is literally what Jenova said during his DICE speech: (verbatim quote)

"We had two choices. We could ship the game like this. Or we could spend an extra year to make the ending very exciting... at that time we were out of money. The budget was for two years, and we were like 'Should we really push for it' I have to thank Sony for actually extending the project two times, so that we could polish it."
