I came across an article on PC Gamer about the creator of undead labs creating a new studio for game devs. Sadly they have shutdown.

This was around 2024.

I do feel that Studios and Game Developers have gone through a lot in past years churing out mega hits but see little reward or good work life balance and other issues at the former studio Undead labs. The new game companies hope to resolve that.

The studio was founded in the midst of the Pandemic. It was hopeful with the idea to work remotely. I do like the idea where you can get talent from anywhere in the world and make games but sadly this ideas did not pan out for the company.

"We felt this was the right time to create something new - a studio built from the ground up to embrace evolving needs and perspectives for both players and developers," said Strain, referencing the anxiety and isolation of working during the pandemic.

"That fear and isolation was the catalyst for Possibility Space, a modern kind of game studio, where we are creating a joyful game that's been my dream for many years. I'm delighted and grateful for the team that has chosen to share in this vision and bring it life."

Jane Ng, formerly Lead Environment Artist on Firewatch at Campo Santo and artist on Half-Life: Alyx at Valve, is Possibility Space Visual Director. "My mom says that the world is in great need of expelling 'tired air,' which probably makes more sense in the original Cantonese," she said. "But when I had the opportunity to shape a team and a company with ambitious, fresh goals that just seemed so right for the time, I shook off the fatigue of the pandemic and jumped in."

"Trends come and go in this industry but balancing the non-flashy fundamentals of both game development and managing a business are how you build studios for the long run," said Strain.
