Kennedy Miller Mitchell (KMM) Interactive, a production company based in Sydney, has confirmed that they have received $200,000 in funding from the New South Wales Interactive Media Fund  to use towards this upcoming project.

The founder of Team Bondi, Brendan McNamara, described Whore of the Orient as “one of the great untold stories of the 20th century.” Intensive details on player involvement in the game have not been released, but a brief overview has been provided.

The title is currently in development for PC and next-gen consoles. While the target window for release is expected to be in 2015, it’s not officially confirmed. 

Back in April, the game ran into trouble. It was rumored that staff from Team Bondi were laid off when Whore of the Orient was having difficulty securing a publisher. Due to this, the scheduled release date may be delayed.
