Normally, releasing a game is a cause for celebration for a developer, but two months after launch, Wreckreation studio Three Fields Entertainment is facing some hard times. According to a post from its CEO on LinkedIn<\/a> (which we learned about thanks to GamesIndustry.biz<\/em>), <\/a>the entire studio’s staff is currently “on notice for redundancy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n “Today I am having to share one of the hardest messages of my career,” CEO Fiona Sperry’s post reads. “After twelve years of building and nurturing Three Fields Entertainment, I am forced into the situation of today placing our entire team on notice of redundancy.”<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The post goes on to detail the company’s financial status. Despite the game being published by THQ Nordic, Sperry claims the studio has had to self-fund “most of this year and all of the post launch content,” and after doing so for months, leadership “simply cannot sustain the studio in its current form.” As a result, the post is both a public announcement of the redundancies and a call to potential business partners that can help fund the studio as it finds its footing.<\/p>\n “My hope is that by showing this work publicly, someone out there might also see that potential and perhaps an opportunity could still emerge,” Sperry’s post continues. “But even if that hope does not materialise, we want this to stand as a testament to our vision and to the strength, passion, and skill of our tiny team. I truly believe in the potential of this game and in the brilliance of the people who built it.”<\/p>\n
