Playtonic, creator Yooka-LayleeDevelopers and publishers announced on social media that they are laying off some employees. Instead of mentioning the impact of how many Playtonic members will have, the post attributes the layoffs to the company’s struggle, “there are profound changes in the way the game is created and funded.”
According to a LinkedIn post shared by Playtonic brand manager Anni Valkama, layoffs include staff in production, various art departments, game design, narrative design and UI/UX design. Playtonic lists only about 50 employees on LinkedIn Yooka-Replaylee,,,,, The actual team may be bigger.
While Playtonic may not be affected by other developers’ funding and selling game issues, it hired a new project Yooka-Replaylee Then putting these new employees down before the game is released is a fairly common practice. Without more information, there is no way to know if this is the case here, but it is worth mentioning.
Yooka-Laylee Considered a spiritual sequel Banjo – Kazui When other character-centric action platforms debuted on Kickstarter in 2015, it might not be surprising given that Playtonic was founded by a rare former developer, Banjo – Kazui and updated popular songs The thief’s sea. In fact, many of the games Playtonic are published under its “Playtonic Friends” publishing label, whether it’s a cute action adventure game, Lil Gator Games Or difficult platformer Devil’s Grass.
