'Armello' Developer League of Geeks Faces Layoffs and Game Delays

Game developer League of Geeks, known for Armello, has laid off over 50% of its staff due to a lack of funding opportunities, rising operation costs, and poor Early Access sales. The release of Jumplight Odyssey has been put on hold, but Solium Infernum is unaffected. The affected staff will receive support in finding new jobs and access to a therapist, while the Jumplight Odyssey team will receive all profits from the game for the next year. The directors take responsibility for the situation and acknowledge their failure to protect the team and products.

League Of Geeks Halts Jumplight Odyssey Development, Lays Off Staff

League Of Geeks, the developers behind Armello, have announced the indefinite suspension of their spaceship colony roguelike game, Jumplight Odyssey, due to rising operation costs, poor early access sales, and the withdrawal of funding opportunities. Over 50% of staff, including the entire Jumplight Odyssey team, have been affected, leading to mass redundancies. The studio assures that this decision will not impact the release of Solium Infernum or ongoing support for Armello. League Of Geeks plans to release one final patch for Jumplight Odyssey and will distribute half of the profits from every copy sold to the affected team members. They express hope for future investment to resume development of the game.

League of Geeks: Battling for Survival Amidst Layoffs and Development Halt

Armello developer League of Geeks has laid off 50% of its staff, including the entire team behind Jumplight Odyssey, due to a funding gap. The studio was in talks with major investors to secure funding but had the rug pulled from under its feet. The layoffs announcement was made internally during an all-hands meeting. League of Geeks is hopeful that Australia's newly adopted digital games tax offset will help the studio find its feet again. The studio now has cash flow until the end of March and is focused on launching Solium Infernum.
