Not that i'm an expert but honestly if i were them i'd focus on the two most important and promising titles right now such as APB and perhaps Descent before buying into more management and resource/time wasting.

vsb 6171 Posted November 18, 2018 haven’t they had unsung slightly longer than apb? regardless, i think orbit has mentioned that they contract out dev work to different teams so i doubt this will really have an impact on us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LilyRain 674 Posted November 18, 2018 I heard APB's original code was made by 3 people only, so 10-50 people to port the code towards 3.5 should be sufficient to pull that off. Plus, the company needs funds to progress. It isn't easy to survive from 2 games only, considering they aren't as massive as other titles out there. Moreover, LO is experienced with mobile games, so adding 1 more shouldn't be taxing on the company. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Little Orbit has multiple development teams under them for different games/projects. And both of their other games were picked up before APB. Edited November 18, 2018 by NotZombieBiscuit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However another game i wish they would carry (dev team just gave up on it) is this. Please @MattScott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattScott 15242 Posted November 21, 2018 Hi everyone, Just for clarity we do have multiple teams in-house and we multiple external teams working on different titles. For instance, Descent is being done by a studio in Austin, TX. We picked up Unsung Story in August 2017. We picked up Descent in October 2017. We picked up APB and Fallen Earth in May 2018. Descent launches in Q1 2019, so we're basically done and just polishing that title. I get a couple messages a week recommending titles that are being abandoned by other developers. But our plate is very full at the moment, so we are not adding anything new. Thanks, Matt 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
