Hey all, you may have already seen this from a few days ago but I just wanted to let you know the sad news that Ivy Road, the studio I founded and which produced Wanderstop, is winding down.

Just to give you a bit of context here, toward the end of Wanderstop's development, I was dealing with extreme burnout that had claimed much of my mental and physical wellbeing. I made the decision to step down from studio leadership, and to allow others on the team to take over creative direction.

The team rallied and put together their own vision for a game called Engine Angel. I funded them for about a year to build a prototype, which you can get a peek at here. bsky.app/profile/lizc...

They make a very cool prototype and took it around to funding partners to try and get funding, but unfortunately there were no bites. So the tough decision was made to wind down the studio.
