Proletariat has opened up about the Switch version of Spellbreak, the upcoming fantasy action battle royale game.
CEO Seth Sivak mentioned to Nintendo World Report that most of the work is being handled internally, though the team is receiving assistance from “several outstanding external companies on different parts of the game”. Although the texture quality and material quality have been “slightly scaled back” and the models are “slightly lower details”, a primary goal has been to preserve “great performance while also making the game as beautiful as possible.”

Chibi-Robo developer Skip possibly closed, based on new findings
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Skip has been making games since the start of the 2000s. The studio has worked on various titles including the Art Style series, but is most known for the Chibi-Robo franchise. Unfortunately, things are’t looking good for the company.
The first piece of evidence concerns Skip’s website, which can no longer be accessed and simply brings up an error. Another troubling sign is that Skip’s name is missing entirely from the street placard where the studio was previously located, and it looks like another company now occupies that space. CEO Hiroshi Suzuki has also removed the official website from his Twitter bio.
There were concerns about Skip’s status last year, but these latest findings are certainly more concrete. Although there’s been no official notice regarding the company’s closure, things aren’t looking good at the moment.
