Distant Kingdoms developer Orthrus Studios has officially announced its closure.
Last week, studio founder Oliver Smith – who announced the dismissal of an entire team of 10 people, including himself – shared the news on LinkedIn.
“We did our best, but sometimes work and a good product isn’t enough,” Smith said.
“I am incredibly grateful to the people who helped make this 4 1/2-year dream come true, and all of my colleagues are incredibly talented people, I firmly believe that some of them are the next great intelligence of game development.”
Founded in 2017, the UK-based studio has previously worked on mobile games. Their first play was a historic educational play about Andrew Carnegie called The Legacy, which the studio followed with Swipe: The Big Data Show in 2018.
