Sad news today. Bithell Games, having been unable to secure a new larger scale project, is reducing in size. This means that eleven jobs are being made redundant. This constitutes the majority of our full-time staff. It became clear leading up to the release of our most recent game that we were not immune to the challenges faced by many game development teams seeking funding partners in 2024 and 2025. We’ve fortunately been able to communicate these challenges ahead of time, and work with affected staff to ease departures as much as possible via severance packages. It’s important to state that this was an incredible team of exceptionally talented people. If you’re a developer reading this, and you’re hiring; anyone among those affected would be a great addition to your studio, please reach out if we can help to put you in touch. This news will not impact the availability of our existing self published games and ongoing support for them. We are incredibly grateful for our audience, and hope that your interest in our work follows individual team members as they head into other roles. Bithell Games was always defined and elevated by our people. Today we are less. - Mike Bithell

I'm Sam, a programmer, and one of the people affected by this - I had an absolute blast working at Bithell Games and will never forget the colleagues I had the good fortune to work with.

Ok everyone, gather round. Me and @sliwinski.bsky.social have been working together for over a decade. He’s powered up our business and kept the lights on.

So imagine my massive frustration that he’s also a talented game director. The fucking jerk.

Such a relief when previews show you’re heading in the right direction. Excited to get the last bits of polish on the game and get it into players’ hands in a couple months.

Really proud of the team.
