Expensive Buddies and Followers,
It’s with a heavy coronary heart that I announce the closure of Galvanic Video games. Regardless of the promising begin of Wizard with a Gun, gross sales should not sturdy sufficient to maintain our studio. The final 12 months has been significantly robust for video games. Whereas we had quite a few encouraging conversations at DICE and GDC, the method of signing new tasks, even in an excellent 12 months, takes longer than the runway we had left.
Working with Devolver Digital was a dream come true for us. Collectively, we created a sport I’m extremely happy with. There’s a sure bittersweetness to understanding that we completed all of the issues we got down to do once we based Galvanic in 2015. From launching distinctive, bizarre, and fascinating video games to collaborating with a few of my favourite folks within the business all whereas constructing a tight-knit, productive group centered on a wholesome and inventive tradition.
Nevertheless, it’s extremely troublesome to see our group going through the uncertainty of the present job market. I’ll by no means recover from the irony of spending a decade constructing my splendid group, just for it to finish after our best 12 months. The dedication, creativity, and arduous work of each individual on our group have been nothing in need of extraordinary.
To assist our group members throughout this transition, I can be attaching an inventory of those that requested visibility on their LinkedIn resumes and portfolios. When you have alternatives or know of any, please think about these extremely gifted people.
Thanks for the assist and recollections. We’re grateful for the journey and hope that our paths will cross once more sooner or later.
Sincerely,
