Economic Situation Forces Maschinen-Mensch to Cease Operations
Maschinen-Mensch is yet another award-winning German studio to close its doors. Although the Berlin-based company hopes to make a comeback, it is initially focusing on supporting its team members in their search for new opportunities.
The latest release from Maschinen Mensch, a studio founded eleven years ago, came out just four months ago: Mother Machine was their most ambitious project to date. And it was their last, at least for now. "We are incredibly proud of our team for realizing this grand vision. However, like many of our peers, we are struggling with the current economic environment in the games industry and have been unsuccessful in securing follow-up projects", writes Maschinen Mensch on its website. "Therefore, with heavy hearts, we have made the difficult decision to put Maschinen-Mensch into hibernation for the foreseeable future."
