IllFonic LLC (/ˌɪlfəˈnɪk/, stylized as illfonic) is an American independent video game developer founded in 2007 by Raphael Saadiq, Chuck Brungardt, and Kedhrin Gonzalez. It is based in Denver, Colorado.
IllFonic was founded by Brungradt to produce records with Saadiq, but Gonzalez joined as they started development of video games. In 2010, they acquired the rights to Nexuiz and released it in 2012, but the servers were taken down in early 2013 due to THQ's liquidation and bankruptcy. In 2015, they started work on a video game, titled in-development Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp, but Friday the 13th producer Sean S. Cunningham approached them with the video game license that would transform the game into Friday the 13th: The Game. Eventually, Gun Media approached them to publish the game, with release slated for late-2016.
IllFonic, as reported by news outlets, were skilled at the CryEngine game engine. However, Gonzalez has confirmed that the team will now use Unreal Engine 4 instead of CryEngine.
IllFonic was founded in 2007 by Chuck Brungardt to work with close friend and entrepreneur Raphael Saadiq to produce R&B records. Eventually, Kedhrin Gonzalez was brought in and IllFonic was founded to develop video games.
