If you are a fan of giant spaceship sims, this is definitely the game for you. New Gamer Nation got the opportunity to sit down with Yager to discuss their new game, Dreadnought. In the interview, you'll get an overview of the game and get some basic questions answered.
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.
Financial problems to blame.
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.
And that's an issue with the business, given that the lion share of - any - profits goes to shareholders. A mentality that includes giving little to no security to dev teams, overworking them, and shortchanging them in anyway possible besides.
It was a big mistake to make this very niche title free to play.Stupid and very risky business decision.
Six Foot has announced that Dreadnought, the free-to-play tactical shooter featuring massive capital ships, has officially launched on Steam.
