The complete message concerning the studio’s closure:
Expensive Associates and Followers,
It’s with a heavy coronary heart that I announce the closure of Galvanic Video games. Regardless of the promising begin of Wizard with a Gun, gross sales will not be robust sufficient to maintain our studio. The final yr has been significantly powerful for video games. Whereas we had quite a few encouraging conversations at DICE and GDC, the method of signing new tasks, even in yr, takes longer than the runway we had left.
Working with Devolver Digital was a dream come true for us. Collectively, we created a sport I’m extremely happy with. There’s a sure bittersweetness to figuring out that we achieved all of the issues we got down to do after we based Galvanic in 2015. From launching distinctive, bizarre, and attention-grabbing video games to collaborating with a few of my favourite folks within the trade all whereas constructing a tight-knit, productive group centered on a wholesome and inventive tradition.
Nonetheless, it’s extremely troublesome to see our group dealing with the uncertainty of the present job market. I could by no means recover from the irony of spending a decade constructing my splendid group, just for it to finish after our best yr. The dedication, creativity, and arduous work of each individual on our group have been nothing wanting extraordinary.
To help our group members throughout this transition, I might be attaching an inventory of those that requested visibility on their LinkedIn resumes and portfolios. In case you have alternatives or know of any, please contemplate these extremely gifted people.
Thanks for the help and recollections. We’re grateful for the journey and hope that our paths will cross once more sooner or later.
Sincerely,
Patrick Morgan
