Last year was a fun and busy time for Playful Studios, with the release of A New Tale of Super Lucky on Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, however, we are saddened to report that the company has had to lay off part of its full-time, immediate job.
With an open message on Playful & # 39; s website, Founders Paul Bettner and Katy Drake Bettner said it was "very difficult" to make this decision and described how "heartbreaking they truly are" to break up with friends and colleagues.
These people are the people who poured their hearts into every play that was made, supported us and at every step of the way, and really made this studio what it is.y.
This studio will be working closely with each of the stakeholders and showcasing the amazing opportunities we have been given over the years to work with the most talented developers and create a unique and exciting IP.
We created and commissioned mTopics are not like a list of platforms for millions of players around the world, and we are very proud of the work done by our teams along the way. During this time we have taken great risks to grow our studio, we are determined to dream big, and work hard to pursue these wonderful opportunities with our friends.
The founders say that Playful will continue to evolve its approach to development and production of current and future projects – re-focusing on a structured production model based on team distribution game, and project-based "dynamic" teams.
On behalf of the community here at Nintendo Life, our thoughts flow to all the people affected by these issues.
