Top Hat Studios Parts Ways with Project Arrythmia
[h2]Joint Statement[/h2]It is no secret that over the past 5 years, the development of Project Arrythmia has changed substantially, and in turn, so has the trajectory and schedule of the game. During this time, Top Hat Studios & Vitamin Games have worked mutually to deliver the best possible experience to as many players as possible. As we come up to the halfway point in the decade, both parties have decided to re-evaluate their relationship.
When they first started working together, the game was in a vastly different state, and the roadmap for development looked very different. Over time, this roadmap changed substantially; consequently, the two parties' collaboration became contingent on a vastly different plan from what they had mutually set forward nearly half a decade ago when they first started working together. In that time, the publisher has grown to mostly work with a different category of games, and Project Arrythmia no longer fits the mold it did 5 years ago, due to both the publisher's and the game's respective evolutions. Both Top Hat Studios & Vitamin Games met in recent months to discuss the best way to move forward, and ultimately decided that the situation was too different to reshape their working relationship fairly for both parties involved.
Obviously, development evolves and is ever-changing, especially with games with the scope of Project Arrhythmia. It isn't in anyone's interest to force a square peg into a round hole, and the situation simply isn't right for the two parties to continue collaboration, given the massively different trajectory of the game. Both parties agree that this is the best way forward and believe the game's future will be better without the assumptions made when the original publishing relationship began 5 years ago.
Top Hat Studios wishes Project Arrhythmia all the best and appreciates the time it spent with the game, its developer, and its community. Vitamin Games thanks Top Hat Studios for its efforts and assistance over the past 5 years and wishes them the greatest success with their new games.
