Bad Time at Spacetime
Spacetime Studios Website (thanks
Develop) has some unfortunate news about layoffs at the indie developer at
work on Blackstar, a science-fiction MMORPG:Our company has been
entirely self-funded the for the last six months while we tried to find a
publishing deal for ‘Blackstar.’ Throughout this period we have held onto our
pre-production development team because, honestly, we think they are the best of
the best. We have been shopping Blackstar around but - right now, at least – the
concept of a SciFi space/ground IP has proven to be a challenge. Our studio
cannot survive at its current burn rate without a publishing deal, so we face a
necessary (though very difficult and painful) decision. We are scaling down from
thirty-two down to sixteen folks in the hopes of developing a pitch, a prototype
and another publishing deal.
We will be letting some very good folks go. They will receive extended benefits
and we will be doing everything we can to help them land on their feet again. We
consider these people to be the cream of the crop, so if you are looking to
staff up your team please drop us a line at
