In late July when Humble Games confirmed mass layoffs were taking place amid a restructuring, the company assured "operations will continue as normal" and said developers wouldn't be affected. However the studio behind the newly released Metroidvania Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, which was published by Humble Games, is seemingly suggesting otherwise.
In a statement, indie developer Squid Shock announced that it has created a Patreon account to help fund its future content plans. The studio first acknowledged the overall positive reception to Bō and committed to improving the game by listening to and implementing player feedback. However, the studio also said the launch hasn't been "without its challenges" - namely, the "shutting down" of its publisher, which seemed to contradict Humble Games' assurance that it would be continuing operations as normal.
