Congratulations to the Zugalu team on the release of their first major title Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown! Steam link below 🚀 #gamingcommunity #scaling #techecosystem
Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown Out Now: https://lnkd.in/g5vjpkmK As we release our first major title, our hearts are full of gratitude, excitement, and, honestly, a little disbelief. Four years ago, a team of passionate friends came together with a dream to bring Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown to life. We believed in a story and a world that we hoped would mean as much to you as it does to us. Every part of Thrive:HLtC was crafted with love, and knowing that you've been there cheering us on has meant the world. To those of you who have followed us from the very beginning, thank you for believing in us. Your encouragement during the tough times, your feedback, and every single message kept us going. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without your support and dedication. Thank you everyone so much.

We announced on Wednesday that our studio made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount in a necessary effort to cut costs. We are reaching out to seek support for the individuals who have been impacted, those who have given us their consent are identified on the list below. The folks impacted come from a variety of disciplines including art, production, design, programming and operations. If you have an open role, know of someone in your network who is hiring, or can offer a form of support to accelerate their job search - we ask that you please keep these folks in mind. We want to reiterate that this decision is not reflective of the individuals who have been impacted, and we’re extremely disheartened about having to say goodbye to such a large portion of our team. Thank you in advance for your support.
