Saltsea Chronicles studio Die Gute Fabrik has announced that it’s disbanding.
The Copenhagen, Denmark-based indie studio, which also developed Where Is My Heart?, Sportsfriends and Mutazione, revealed in a social media post on Monday that it halted production a week ago.
The company, which has been making games for over 25 years, said it was forced to halt production and lay of its staff after struggling to secure funding for future projects.
“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,” it said.
“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.”
While the company will continue to operate to “service” its existing games, Die Gute Fabrik’s leadership team will also be looking for new jobs.
“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,” it said.
“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.”
