Crema, the developer behind the Pokemon-like MMORPG Temtem, has released a statement following the mass layoffs at its publisher, Humble Games, to turn support towards a new indie Metroidvania, which was released just days before its publisher's restructuring.
Squid Shock Studios' gorgeous hand-drawn Metroidvania, Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, was also published by Humble Games, which this week confirmed a "restructuring of operations" that has reportedly affected all members of staff. Allegedly, Humble Games' parent company, Ziff Davis, is turning to a third party to "manage the slate" going forward, in addition to the existing back catalog. While a PR representative told GamesRadar+ that developers won't be affected by the changes, many have been blindsided by the news, and Crema says that "the blow has been greater" for Squid Shock Studios.
