After laying off 150 staffers last month, Eurocom has now dismissed its remaining employees and will now close its doors. The company suffered from a “severe cash flow shortage” once it was unable to land expected development contracts.
42 staff were left at the studio following last month’s wave of redundancies. They were each let go this morning.
A lengthy statement from Eurocom can be found below.

Square Enix opened up a new teaser site today. Although we can’t officially say that the company will be announcing something called “Star Galaxy”, it appears that this mysterious game is set to be revealed in less than five days.
Siliconera came across a trademark for Star Galaxy, which Square Enix filed in Japan.
You can view the teaser site here. It does have a space-feel to it… and it does feature the word “Star”!

In the iOS version of Mutant Mudds, the game supports a checkpoint system. Its implementation allows players to return to specific areas of a level should they die. Various checkpoints are sprinkled throughout the levels in the form of large signs.
Fortunately, Renegade Kid co-founder has confirmed that checkpoints will be added to Mutant Mudds Deluxe. But if players wish, the feature can be turned off.
A user on neogaf appears to have figured out why people were having purchasing issues with Assassin’s Creed III and ZombiU on the Wii U eShop the other day: Nintendo of Europe may be (and probably is– it’s just marked as a rumor as a formality) restricting the times you’re allowed to download or view games that are meant for older audiences, in this case the two aforementioned games.
The user in question is from Italy, and the story we published a few days ago applied to the greater European area, so it’s pretty safe to say that this is just Nintendo being overly-protective in certain respects!
