Just last week, the project seemed to be chugging along nicely, with regular updates coming via Ambient Studios’ blog. The news is sudden, but not entirely surprising given Death Inc.’s inability to gain funding even during the early stages of development. If you’re a concerned alpha backer, Ambient promises to refund any money you’ve contributed to development.
It’s a sad, sad day in the indie gaming world. Ambient Studios had heaps of promise, and it’s unclear what individual team members will be doing after Ambient closes its doors. If you’re a fan of indie game-making, you can follow a couple of twitters (@jonnyhopper, @rovient) to pay attention to what everyone’s going to be doing in the future.
