Cadence of Hyrule and Crypt of the NecroDancer developer Brace Yourself Games has reportedly laid off half of its workforce.
According to now-former senior producer Crystal Savin, she was only at the studio for four months before being let go. She also mentions that the 43-member studio count was cut by 50%, which would make the total workforce now close to 20 employees.
With a (very) heavy heart, I am announcing that I was recently impacted by a 50% cut in workforce at my studio after only being at the company for 4 months.
I am actively seeking employment opportunities in the game development, esports, and influencer spaces. RTs appreciated🙏 pic.twitter.com/CRFNuPdwPt— Crystal Savin aka Cryssy (@Cryssylol) May 19, 2023
Furthermore, an ex-employee announced on Twitter that they left the studio earlier this week for a new journey. It’s unclear whether they were affected by the layoffs.
