Mark’s current project “em8er” is a “spiritual successor” to Fire Fall. He’s crowdfunded 600k min (we don’t know the actual numbers, but it’s likely more) to create a demo. As of 8 years later, it remains unfinished.

After RED5, he was given a million dollars to launch a VR game called voxelnauts. He never produced anything beyond the original trailer and was accused by employees of embezzling money from the company in lieu of paying them for services rendered, and was allegedly ousted again.
He did not sell RED5. He was fired as CEO, as the game failed because his time was apparently focused on efforts outside of the game, such as esports, video, and a baffling 3 million dollar promotional LAN party bus that did not drive and had to be towed to events.

I hope someone does some more digging into this I'm dumbfounded how this got into the game awards
