Fig, the crowdfunding solution for game developers that allows for 
reward-based funding alongside equity investment, will partner with Harmonix to bring an upcoming title to market. In a press release issued today, Fig also said that Harmonix's chief creative officer, Alex Rigopulos, will join the advisory board.

Rigopulos joins Feargus Urquhart (Obsidian Entertainment), Brian Fargo (inXile Entertainment) and Tim Schafer (Double Fine) on the advisory board. The four men will be responsible for vetting projects and teams before they are invited to launch on Fig. Additionally, they will counsel and mentor developers before, during and after the crowdfunding process. All four independent companies have also vowed to launch new games through the service.

Fig's first campaign, the award-winning Outer Wilds exploration game, launched on Aug. 18 and has currently raised more than $101,000 on a $125,000 ask. Fig tells Polygon that while more than $500,000 in total investment was offered to them, Outer Wild's developer Mobius Digital has only accepted $75,000 so far.

Fig games share revenue from eventual sales with investors, while the platform itself takes a portion of participating game sales in perpetuity. You can read more about their novel approach to crowdfunding in our report.

Harmonix's next game, Rock Band 4, is being co-published by Mad Catz. The peripheral manufacturer, which also owns Saitek, has recently told investors that it needs Rock Band 4 to be a hit in order to ensure the continued financial stability of the company. That statement, which was required by US securities law, concludes that the game's October launch could "raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern."

Rock Band 4 will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Fans of the popular rhythmic music game known as "Rock Band" now have a chance to prove their fandom even more as they now have the opportunity to join the "Rock Band Road Crew."

Harmonix Music Systems, the game's developer and publisher, has indicated that fans who are able to successfully join the "Rock Band Road Crew" will be getting some free goodies for their troubles.

Fans who want to join the crew will first have to be United States or Canadian citizens and have to be at least 18 years of age. If they meet those requirements, then they can complete an application for the "Rock Band Road Crew," and they will also be asked to submit a video. The video will have to be between at least one to three and a half minutes in length. Of course, the video has to include shots of the applicant and his/her friends playing "Rock Band" with the phrase "impressive solo" found at some point in the video, according to IGN.

Once an applicant manages to successfully join the "Rock Band Road Crew," they will be able to take on a variety of tasks that can in turn reward them with points. The points can then be used to claim rewards.

Rewards for members of the "Rock Band Road Crew," include downloadable content (DLC) of the upcoming game as well as magazines and some other goodies from Harmonix.

Interested applicants have until Sept. 13 to hand in their requirements to be a member of the "Rock Band Road Crew."

In related news, more songs for "Rock Band 4" have been recently revealed, according to iDigital Times.
