Mutazione and Saltsea Chronicles developer Die Gute Fabrik announced they’re shutting down production on new games due to ongoing industry hardships.
The company has stopped production on new games over “extreme difficulties” in the independent game publishing and investment scene.
“We halted production on the 19th of February, and used our remaining runway to give the current team a month of paid time to catch their breaths,” the company said. “We will still try and seek funding to resume production, but wanted to announce this publicly in order that the team can share that they’re looking for new roles.”
The developer is providing mentoring and career support in this period while their leadership team (Nils & Hannah) will also be looking for new positions.
Die Gute Fabrik will continue to maintain their previously released games and should funding be found in the future, production might resume again under Nils Deneken as CEO.
Here’s the full word from the developer:
We’re sad to share with you all the news that Die Gute Fabrik is halting production.
The publishing and investment scene is so tough for companies and projects of our scale right now it’s made it extremely difficult for Die Gute Fabrik to secure funding for our next project without a gap in income.
We halted production on the 19th Feb, and used our remaining runway to give the current team a month of paid time to catch their breaths. We will still try and seek funding to resume production, but wanted to announce this publicly in order that the team can share that they’re looking for new roles. We have also provided mentoring and career support in this period. Our leadership team (Nils & Hannah) will also be looking for new positions.
Die Gute Fabrik ApS will continue to operate to service our past IPs. Production may resume again under Nils Deneken as CEO should the company find funding in future years, and if so we hope to welcome back our excellent collaborators where possible.
We’ve been making games since 2008, and are so proud of the work we’ve put out and the people we’ve made it with. Thank you for playing our games.
Die Gute Fabrik.
