Mimimi Games is closing after 15 years in the gaming industry
In a heartfelt announcement, Mimimi Productions revealed that they are shutting down their studio after a 15-year journey in the gaming industry. The recently launched title, "Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew," will be their final game. Founders Dominik and Johannes cited increasing production costs, financial pressures, and the toll of maintaining a work-life balance as the primary reasons behind this difficult decision.
Although the studio is winding down, it's not an abrupt goodbye. Mimimi is fully committed to supporting "Shadow Gambit" with patches and additional content. They have also ensured that their employees will receive bonuses to assist during the transition and are actively seeking job opportunities for them within the industry.
Mimimi Productions leaves behind a legacy of quality-driven games, often lauded for their attention to detail and creative storylines. Their impactful statement also touched on the relentless cycle of development and funding, and how this contributed to their ultimate choice to close down.
The studio has always been dedicated to the stealth strategy genre, and a shift to another would only exacerbate stress levels, they noted. For fans wondering about the future availability of their titles, Mimimi assured that all games would continue to be available on all platforms.
While it's the end of the road for Mimimi, the team’s gratitude towards their community, industry peers, and business partners shines through, making this a bittersweet farewell.
