Hey everyone, just saw some pretty concerning news about Lightspeed LA, the studio behind that awesome-looking dystopian Tokyo game, Last Sentinel. Apparently, they're making a massive shift in the game's creative direction after extensive internal reviews and play-testing didn't meet expectations. This unfortunately means some staff roles are being impacted and there have been layoffs, which is always tough to hear in our industry. While it's sad for the people affected and means an even longer wait for a game that looked incredibly promising, maybe this creative reset is ultimately for the best if it ensures a higher quality final product. It's a real bummer, though, when you see a game you're excited for hit such a big roadblock. What do you all think about these kinds of major development changes and their impact on games?
