Lynn and the Spirits of Inao door aanhoudende negativiteit geannuleerd

Slechts twee weken geleden deelden we informatie over Lynn and the Spirits of Inao. Het beloofde een schitterend Kickstarter-project met invloeden van Studio Ghibli te worden. Het is, of inmiddels was, het eerste project van ontwikkelaar Bloomylight Studios. Want het project is geannuleerd.

Bloomylight Studios kreeg vele beschuldigen over het niet bètalen van stagiaires over zich heen. In Frankrijk, waar de studio is gesitueerd, is het niet bètalen van stagiaires illegaal. Door de aanhoudende negativiteit heeft de studio de stekker uit het project getrokken.

First of all, thank you to all of the backers who supported Lynn and the Spirits of Inao.

After being deeply affected by the various stories from the past few days, and conscious of the mistakes from the past which are now harming the game, we have taken the difficult decision to end the adventure here. In the face of the violent declarations made to us and the threats uttered against members of the team, we now have to end this project that was born in 2011. It is regrettable that a handful of individuals were able to destroy the work of so many people and that they spent so much energy to cause a relentlessness of incredible violence against our team.

We would like to thank all the people who contributed to the game and got involved in the project. These last five years spent working hard on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao were an unforgettable experience motivated by the passion to create a game of quality and to offer a new experience.

Thank you for your understanding.

Bloomylight Studio.

Daarnaast wist het project het beoogde doel van 53,000 euro niet te behalen. Bloomylight Studios kwam met 37,056 euro halverwege. Desalniettemin zonde!
