It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that they were able to achieve so much in a relatively short time. Their contributions will not be forgotten.

Work on Sci-Fi Game

Their LinkedIn bio described it as a multi-platform AAA game focusing on character-driven narrative in an all-new science-fiction universe. The concept art showcased a bright and captivating world that had fans eagerly anticipating its release.

However, due to the funding shortfall, they will not be able to bring this new science-fiction universe to completion. It is a sad loss for the gaming community that was looking forward to experiencing this unique world.
