After many years in development, Skullgirls released in 2012 to glowing reviews and admirable sales figures. Despite their hard work, however, developing studio Lab Zero Games has unfortunately not seen a cent out of Skullgirls' sales since its release... until now!

While not announced through official outlets, designer and community manager @render has gone on record in saying that Lab Zero Games is finally receiving a cut out of every copy of Skullgirls Encore sold, including DLC sales. For a business that formerly only received money from Eightysixed T-Shirt sales (most of which was donated to the Skullgirls Encore 2014 EVO pot), this development should prove to be much-desired assistance to the company tasked with creating five DLC characters at near-minimum wage. For those who wish to support Lab Zero, the simple act of buying a copy of Skullgirls Encore (or convincing your friends to do so!) now helps them out.

It should be mentioned that this does not necessarily imply anything about Skullgirls' future, and that until further notice you should expect Skullgirls' future plans to follow those outlined in this FAQ (under "Will there be any more characters after Robo-Fortune?"). Regardless, this is still one of the most significant developments for Lab Zero this year, and should be celebrated as such! They deserve it.[prebreak][/prebreak]

Awesome, time to buy and gift away even more copies of Skullgirls.
 
Wow, we've been getting a lot of good news lately. I'm getting really nervous now. Waiting for the universe to give us one of those "Oh, you're having a streak of good fortune? It'd be a shame if..." moments.

Yeah, but Lab Zero did have all that bad luck already. I mean after the IGG, it was pretty much all bad luck... Maybe it's finally over?

Beowulf gets put in without a hitch

Suddenly, MEDIA WATCHDOGS

Complaints flock in from soccer moms

Beowulf's junk jiggle puts the game up to an M rating

Game has to be taken off of PSN, Live and Steam, re-sent through cert under the title Skullgirls Encore: One More Once Edition

Months and Months of Two Weeks

All because of junk jiggle

Pro Tip: Don't ever say words like "Maybe it's finally over". Just like you shouldn't ever say "Well, that was easy", or "You and what army?".

I'm already low on potiential friends to fling this at on Steam.
 
Wait, does this include all copies of Encore from before, or just any copies sold after this point on?
 
Seriously, this announcement makes me far happier than any sort of new character reveal. Real talk. This truly speaks to the human being trapped inside me.

Great, I recommend to finish the Linux version as soon as possible and take the game into in a main Humble Humble (because usually the other games have a Linux version too and Linux users pay a lot)

For example Humble Indie Bundle V with:
Bastion

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Limbo

Psychonauts

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP

Braid

Super Meat Boy

Lone Survivor


Reached 5.10 Millions of dollars, of course this doesn't mean all the money goes to one company but imagine only 600k for Lab Zero, that is 3 characters.

If they don't keep working at a pay cut...
