Fable Fortune's Dev Launches Demo for New Game & Lays Off Its Staff

In a recent interview with VGC, CEO Craig Oman shared that Ironmarked was dropped by its publisher the previous summer. Despite efforts to find a new partner, over 30 publishers declined to collaborate, citing a reluctance to engage in deals at the moment, despite praising the game and team.

Oman noted that the budget for Ironmarked, set at £5 million, may have deterred potential partners who favored smaller or higher-cost projects. Consequently, Flaming Fowl Studios downsized its team from 30 to 9 creators.
