Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling asked Rhode Island for additional help to save his video game company yesterday, prompting state leaders to consider whether the firm is viable enough to justify further investment.

Schilling briefed Gov. Lincoln Chafee and the state’s Economic Development Corp. board in a closed-door session.

Chafee would not say what Schilling is seeking from the state. Schilling declined to answer questions, saying only: “My priority right now is to get back to my team.”

Concerns about 38 Studios’ financial health arose when it failed to make a scheduled $1.1 million payment to the Economic Development Corp. on May 1.

The business was lured from Massachusetts in 2010 after Rhode Island offered a $75 million loan guarantee that state officials said would help bring hundreds of jobs and millions in tax revenue.

Under the terms of the loan guarantee agreement, 38 Studios promised to bring to Rhode Island a total of 450 jobs over three years.

The company released its much-anticipated first game, “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning,” to strong reviews in February.
