Hi everyone,
There’s a number of internal changes that we, at Space Budgie, wish to bring you all up to speed on. Sadly, Karl and Albert are no longer working at Space Budgie or on the Glitchspace project. The reasons for their departure are personal and as such we kindly ask that people respect our privacy with this matter. This decision was completely amicable for all of us and we wish both Albert and Karl the best in their future work.
Of course this leaves a number of uncertainties that needs addressed, chief among them what happens to Space Budgie and Glitchspace? We all wholeheartedly believe in both the ethos of what Space Budgie stands for and the potential of Glitchspace to be a serious force of change in our industry and as such, Space Budgie and Glitchspace will continue, with Robin, Mus and Ronan at the helm of the project.
With these changes comes others: unfortunately this means that Glitchspace’s full release next March will have to be delayed. Whilst this will be disappointing to our fans, readers and even ourselves as well, we hope you’ll understand that for Glitchspace to reach its full potential, there’s a significant number of challenges that we need to solve for it to do so and these fixes are going to take time. To do otherwise would be a disservice to all of the people who have bought our game in alpha or to even those interested in picking up Glitchspace in the future.
From its inception, the past year and a half for Space Budgie has been an incredible experience for us. From having nothing to launching two titles on Steam, being invited to present at GDC and getting to meet and speak with our fans all over, we’ll always be hugely grateful for the support that the games industry and our fans have given us. And whilst this is a position that we would never have wanted to be in, Space Budgie will continue to grow and become better from it.
After doing some internal re-evaluation on where we are and what needs done, 2015 is going to be an even bigger year for us and Glitchspace, and we hope you can all continue to support us on this journey as we head into Space Budgie’s next chapter.
We’ll be back very soon,
Space Budgie
