Well this looks better and better.
Additionally, for the time being, we'll be making this forum read-only for the foreseeable future as we continue development and will reopen things again in the future. For now, we'll be over on Discord and you are welcome to join the community there: https://discord.gg/bloodlines2
Maybe now we'll get some more details about all the crap that obviously went wrong over at Hardsuit Labs.
Or... well, more likely, we won't.
Hardsuit getting cut out. Smells like someone missed an important milestone.
I can't wait for the Hardsuit abortion post-mortem. Get Annie VanderMeer to make a VN about it.
Paradox probably hired them in the first place cos they were cheap. I bet they're regretting that short term cost saving right now.
Paradox owns part of Hardsuit.
They did have at least some of the right people working with them - until they fired them all over either nonsensical allegations or who-knows-why-they-let-go-Mitsoda.Swecucks at paradox actually thought they could make a big dick blockbuster RPG on a shoestring, and with a shovelware studio developing it.
Utterly delusional.

when this game comes out to near universal acclaim you shall be ashamed of your words and deeds.
That just adds to my assumption that Hardsuit were the cheapest option.

Clearly the game should be handled by Larian.
At least Larian can make games in the first place.Clearly the game should be handled by Larian.
Can't wait for Larian reimagines the game in a brave new, original direction of isometric turn based game with destructible environments.
Wonder what small medium sized studio can be hired to salvage this shit.
The only thing they can salvage from Hardsuit Labs works is probably just assets? Maaaybe the storyboards as well.
For Action RPG there is.. Spider? The team has experience of getting game out with limited budget but with decent enough result.
Piranha Bytes? Besides ELEX 2 are they even working on something?
That HBS hiring means that they are expanding and might be another choice but I don't think they have the record in making action RPG. Their fully 3D game also run like absolute ass.
Cyanide is probably another strong contender. They are very much like Spider, limited budget decent/mediocre stuff. They also have just finished the Werewolf games and that means Paradox already has a working relationship with them.
If Obsidion didn't get bought by Micrsoft they probably is another candidate as well but right now I don't think that's possible.
Arkane Studi seems like a logical choice because the kind of games they are making, but same as Obsidian, Zenimax and its subsidiary has been Mircrosoft-ed so very unlikely we will see them.
I don't think there any small-mid sized development studio in Murica that specialized in RPG that is still independent?
