Tom Kudirka, president and CEO of Tulsa-based
Men Of Valor developer 2015 Inc., has confirmed, in a phone call to the online site of Computer Games Magazine, that the studio has undergone an unspecified reduction in staff and office space following the shipping of Vivendi-published PC/Xbox Vietnam FPS
Men Of Valor last autumn.
However, Kudirka would not specify exactly how many staff were leaving, preferring to emphasize that the company was still in business and working on new game concepts for prospective publishers.
2015's situation once again illustrates the problems for small and medium sized game developers, who must rely on swift transitions between projects and on-time completions of existing titles in order to stay in business.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma based company was formed in 1998, and first created the
Wages of Sin expansion for Ritual's PC FPS
SiN, before creating
Medal of Honor Allied Assault for Electronic Arts and the Unreal Engine-powered
Men Of Valor for Vivendi Universal.
