The ‘new’ studio is working on a new side-scrolling shooter
Two Tribes, developers of the well knownToki Toriseries, has shut down developmental operations. It appears as if founders Martijn Reuvers and Collin van Ginkel are creating a smaller company, with all of the new knowledge they’ve acquired from their mistakes at Two Tribes. The main reason they went under it seems, is thatToki Tori 2took longer to develop than they had hoped, and when it didn’t sell well, it “took the company down with it.”
Their games won’t disappear from the Wii U eShop or any other marketplaces anytime soon since they have maintained the publishing rights for them. They’re also hard at work on their next game, which is a 2D side-scrolling shooter. It’s a pretty sad situation, but I’m glad that at least some people were able to avoid a complete dissolution of the company.
