Developer n-Space See Lay-Offs, But aren’t Out from the Game Yet

For independent game maker, n-Space function like several indie developers do: which has a manageable team size, hopping from project to project, always on the lookout for your next publisher deal that will permit them to make another game and continue paying their staff.

The main risk of as an indie developer involves publisher deals that don’t come through. Failed deals can have a devastating affect on an indie studio, since these are their bread and butter. Depending on the amount to your fate is committed to a precise deal, you could alternate from merely losing a project to having to put off a large number of employees.

Unfortunately, a recent deal that didn’t come through triggered rogues at n-Space. The 2009 week, rumours arose that n-Space had laid-off numerous their employees and this the studio was about the verge of closing down. The good knows is, merely the firstly those does work. n-Space co-founder, Dan O’Leary writes around the company blog:

“After supporting 70-90 employees for a variety of months without funding, Friday’s layoffs were unavoidable. I will be extremely popular office in a month’s time, coupled with our core team, to set a handful of the many deals we have been negotiating. If all goes as planned, we’ll be calling people back prior to a end of the week.”

And it fell procedes to explain what led to the current situation at n-Space in somewhat more detail:

“We’ve worked tirelessly to secure work, preparing literally dozens of concepts and proposals in 2010 alone, built two impressive demos since E3 and delivered, in good faith, the earliest milestone of one of many projects we are pursuing.

Yesterday it looked as though everything that labor would finally be worthwhile, with one deal “done” as well as some more soon to follow along with. Then, having a last second change of heart in the licensor, that deal was dead. If the week ended without commitments from other publishers to offset this setback, I was forced to take drastic action.”

While O’Leary with his fantastic peers must be troubled with the recent happenings, the post ends on the positive note, with O’Leary stating that they looks forward to sharing n-Space’s future accomplishments because of their fans.

From the end in this year, n-Space should have shipped 7 games in whole, including Tron: Evolution for the Wii and DS (R4 DS, R4 Card), and Call of Duty: Black Ops and Golden Eye for that Nintendo DS R4..
