Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Human Head shuts down, staff to join Bethesda's new studio Quote Bethesda has announced the opening of a new studio in Madison, Wisconsin, named Roundhouse Studios. It's not exactly starting from scratch though, as the studio is actually comprised of staff from Human Head Studios, which Bethesda's announcement revealed has closed down.

Brian Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Weird to go back to the company that pulled the rug from up under you. Never rebounded from the Prey 2 cancellation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Seems like they will fit in just nicely with Bethesda and its douchery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Ragnarok (the publisher of Rune II) has just received a hard drive containing the RUNE II assets and source code. Quote Currently we have set up a build, test, and staging environment. Once we have confirmed that we are able to make a complete build of the current version of RUNE II (.12L), we are going to begin working on a patch to address the top critical issues, bugs, and optimizations that we have seen reported over the last month and a half. As always, thanks for sticking with us and being fans of RUNE II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 PC Gamer has posted an article that presents Ragnarok's side of what went down in this debacle and BOY, IT AIN'T PRETTY! We got stabbed in the back': How Rune 2 survived one of the worst game launches in years (PC Gamer) Quote Candler immediately began reaching out to all the top Unreal developers he knew, attempting to put together a team to keep the game going. Several expressed interest, but the recovery effort was hampered by yet another bizarre twist: Most of the developers Candler spoke to wanted to look at the source code and assets to evaluate the scope of the job, but according to Goldberg, Human Head wouldn't hand it over at first. “They refused to give us the source code that was our property, to be able to update and fix the game for the community,” Goldberg said. “So not only do they abandon us—full stop, full abandonment, total stab in the back—I mean, again, who does that? But then we don't even have our property, the source code, to be able to update the game.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Really shitty. Human Head experienced what happens when someone screws you. To do the same to another is just dirty. And to join Bethesda on top of that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
