This is a touchy subject, but I feel it necessary to add to the gaming layoff news: Telltale laid off most of us in early September. Status of TWAU2, I can’t say (NDA).
Now I’m going to focus on what’s important to my own game and the following words:
Gaming industry, we must unite.

“This is a sensitive topic, but I feel it necessary to add it to the news about layoffs in the video game sector: Telltale fired most of us in early September. I signed an agreement not to harm Telltale’s business in any way as part of my indemnification. But I have the legal authority to speak on behalf of the fired person, and that is a statement of fact is not a sincere attempt to harm or destroy the company“, we read in the attached publication.
“It’s a departure from what I usually post, and it’s simple pixel art or things about my game. But it’s very important to me as someone who really cares about the people who work on games. I hate that the violence and exploitation continues“.
Telltale has not released any information about the layoffs
“Our team was very small and I was very excited about the game. Telltale has not yet released anything about what happened.” Huang concluded by noting that Telltale recently acquired British studio Flavorworks, adding, “Again, I’m not saying this in an attempt to hurt the business. I’m just telling the reality of how I felt when I got fired: it was a real bummer.. “I guess it was a quiet precursor to the last two weeks.”
