Patrick Morgan, the president and founder of Galvanic Games, expressed his sadness over the closure in a tweet. He explained that even though they had positive conversations at important industry events like DICE and GDC, the process of signing new projects takes longer than the remaining runway they had. Morgan also mentioned that working with Devolver Digital was a dream come true for the studio.
On a positive note, GamesBeat has partnered with Lil Snack to create customized games for their audience. As fellow gamers themselves, GamesBeat understands the excitement and engagement that comes from playing games related to their content. This partnership allows their audience to enjoy a unique gaming experience while still consuming the GamesBeat content they love.
Morgan expressed his pride in the accomplishments of Galvanic Games since its founding in 2015. He mentioned the satisfaction of launching unique and interesting games and collaborating with some of his favorite people in the industry. He also highlighted the importance of building a tight-knit team focused on a healthy and creative culture. Morgan commended the dedication, creativity, and hard work of every person on the team.
To support the Galvanic Games team members during this transition, Morgan is encouraging those who are looking for new opportunities to make their resumes visible on LinkedIn. This way, others in the industry can easily find and consider them for future positions.
While the closure of Galvanic Games is undoubtedly disappointing news, it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by game studios in a highly competitive industry. Even with successful releases, sustaining a studio requires consistent sales and project signings. However, the partnership between GamesBeat and Lil Snack offers a glimmer of hope, providing an exciting way for gamers to continue engaging with their favorite content through customized games.
