Red Fly Studios Makes Staff Cuts

Red Fly Studios is facing thirty layoffs according to Gamespot. The Austin-based developer mostly worked on Wii versions of multiplatform games, which was the case with the recent Thor: God of Thunder. They were also responsible for 2008's Mushroom Men, as well as Nintendo versions of Ghostbusters and The Force Unleashed II.

"Red Fly was in the unfortunate position of laying off around 30 people on Wednesday June 22," said studio CEO Dan Borth. "The reduction of staff was a response to a large high-profile project that was, to our surprise, reevaluated and then canceled. Red Fly has been an agile, passionate company from day one, and while this news was very difficult, we've made a concentrated effort to reinvest in ourselves and the way we want to make games. Currently, we are all very excited about our new opportunities and working diligently to make them a reality."
