Native Melbourne studio Torus Video games has successfully closed with the studio saying they’ve laid off eight workers. The information comes by way of native journalist Jack Ryan on Twitter. In keeping with Ryan, who has spoken to Invoice McIntosh, the studio’s founder and proprietor, it’ll simply be him operating issues for now with no new tasks within the works. So, whereas the enterprise stays, technically, they’re not making something anymore.
Torus won’t have the extra present recognition of different native studios. Nonetheless, when you performed a licensed Wii, Nintendo DS, Recreation Boy Advance, Recreation Boy Colour and even the Recreation Boy recreation in your life, you’ve most likely performed one in all their video games – they’ve greater than 140 of them. Extra lately, they labored on Lego 2K Drive and content material for Fortnite. Their first recreation was a Recreation Boy tie-in for the unique Stargate film in 1994.
Unhappy to see one other studio go, particularly one with a thirty yr historical past.
