One of Australia's largest video game developers has made half of its workforce redundant, citing issues such as rising cost-of-living and recession fears scaring off investors. The development team of the cancelled early access game Jumplight Odyssey will be put into the game in its final update and half of any future sales of the game will go directly to those who worked on it.

Sounds like they still plan to complete one of their two games so hopefully that means the company can survive. Definitely a challenging time for the industry, however.
