Vodeo Games had the first officially recognised game studio union in North America
Vodeo Games, the first game development studio in North America to unionise, are shutting down. The team behind turn-based RPGBeast Breakerannounced their closure onTwitter, after being unable to find financial backers for another project. Beast Breaker wasn’t a game I was familiar with but its little mouse protagonist looks charming, as you can see in the trailer below.

“The story is unfortunately a familiar one for small studios,” Vodeo Games said. “Despite a year of avid efforts, we’ve been unable to secure funding for our next project from publishers and investors. As such, we’ve run out of funds and aren’t able to keep the team together - and there is simply no Vodeo without our incredible team.
“Our final efforts are going toward a Steam release for Beast Breaker. We hope that it will bring our creation to many new players, and continue to support our team even as we all go our separate ways.”
You can check out Beast Breaker on theEpic Games Store, where it’s £12/$14/€14. Vodeo Games are still aiming to bring the game to Steam before they close their doors.
