Saw some people in my feed mentioned this message by Tim Borelli, lead animator at 5TH Cell.
RIP 5TH Cell. If anyone is looking for kickass artists, programmers, designers, QA, IT, and more, let me know.
Their Facebook page and Twitter account hasn’t been updated since late December… so yeah. Real bummer. I enjoyed the Scribblenauts games and Drawn to Life for the experimental/chaotic fun they provided…
WB cancelled [Scribblenauts: Fighting Words] today so we had to lay off the staff," said CEO Jeremiah Slaczka in a message to Polygon. “It happened so quick we’re not sure what the plans are going forward yet.”
Scribblenauts developer 5th Cell laid off 45 employees today, following layoffs last week, the studio told me. Contrary to tweets, creative director Jeremiah Slaczka said they’re not shutting down. Latest layoffs are due to WB cancelling a Scribblenauts mobile game. Remaining staff is “tiny,” said Slaczka.
aww shit Scribblenauts DC is my son’s favorite game…
