GNOG and Goodbye Volcano High dev KO_OP share that they are laying off staff in the only, remotely good statement I've seen in a while
Independent studio KO_OP, known for games like GNOG and Goodbye Volcano High, has announced layoffs affecting 13 staff members shortly after the release of their latest game, Young Suns. The studio cited a radical change in the games funding landscape and an inability to secure new project funding as the primary reasons. KO_OP emphasized a transparent, democratically decided process focused on studio survival rather than profit maximization, and expressed intent to rehire affected developers if future funding is secured.
