🗣 Another echo of the crisis in the gaming industry.David Gaider, former lead writer at BioWare and co-creator of the Dragon Age series, admitted that his studio Summerfall Studios is on the verge of collapse.
The team has been trying for a long time to find a publisher for their new RPG about a gang of robbers traveling on an airship, however, despite positive reviews during pitching, no one gave money.According to Gaider, publishers are increasingly willing to invest only in well-known franchises and almost finished games, so the fate of Summerfall is difficult.
Summerfall released its debut game in August 2023, the musical Stray Gods, which was a contender for indie of the year, but it did not achieve much success in copies sold.They then released the card roguelike Malys, which was released in October 2025.It was as if no one had played it at all (the peak online number was only 49, not thousands).Now the studio is on the verge of closing.
Apparently, Gaider has already come to terms with it and said that he would love to work on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from Owlcat Games, since he is a big fan of the Expanse universe.In addition, he is not opposed to returning Dragon Age to its roots, making the world dark, dangerous again, and is willing to take risky decisions, even if they displease some of the audience.That is, the man is already openly looking for a job. #game
