At the end of 2024, we unfortunately had to let go of three of our team members. Sadly, nothing we tried to maintain the team had worked out.

While it hurts to loose these three, we're very happy they received public funding and are now founding their own studio Peas & Quiet. Follow them!

Peas & Quiet Games @peas-and-quiet.com · Feb 24
