Financial problems to blame.
From GameIndustry.biz: "Texas-based entertainment firm Six Foot has laid off around a third of its development staff following a number of issues with its flagship game, Dreadnought.
Made in collaboration with Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager, Dreadnought released on Steam just last week but delays, slow sales, and mixed reviews have resulted in financial difficulties."
They should say Rime developer. The game they were working on wasn’t yet known to as many people.
Six Foot has announced that Dreadnought, the free-to-play tactical shooter featuring massive capital ships, has officially launched on Steam.
Neocrisis - Here are screenshots showing off the biggest feature update, Patch 3, yet for Dreadnought.
Being in the game industry is a stuff ass career. I don't envy anyone in it. Hope they find new jobs.
I thought this game looked awesome. Never got to play it though because I have an xbox
The game is completed, are they supposed to just pay people to sit around? Developers are pretty much contractors, they know well in advance that they should be seeking their next assignment.
Hasn't this game been out for a year?
It was a big mistake to make this very niche title free to play.Stupid and very risky business decision.
