Ya, over 60 people were let go(the whole studio) due to financial problems. I know some people there and its never fun to see friends out of work.. Wheres the games industry stimulus package? We make cool stuff give us money to make the masses happy..:)
Yeah heard this as well. It is tough times indeed and with the economy so shitty right now it may be a while before any new studios open but who knows.
Man, that's rough. This year is looking really grim for aspiring artists looking to break into the industry. Good time to work on the portfolio though :-)
WHat!? Where is the announcement or proof? I applied to Bottlerocket like a dozen times. (they finally told me thanks but no thanks) but damn.. that's really sucks if this is true.
I really hope they can somehow still release their game. I thought it had great potential. If they don't release it, do you guys think another studio will pick it up? Or maybe some of the staff at Bottlerocket will start a new venture and take Splatterhouse with 'em?
Man that's crazy. It was like almost exactly a year ago I remember playing basketball with the folks at BR and Concrete. Now both developers are gone. I worked with a lot of guys from BR, very talented bunch. Good people. . . sigh...who's next?
