曾參與《魔獸世界》和《英雄聯盟》開發的資深製作人Greg 「Ghostcrawler」 Street近日宣布,他所領導的工作室Fantastic Pixel Castle即將不再隸屬於網易遊戲旗下的第一方工作室。如果工作室無法在短期內為正在開發的奇幻MMORPG新作《Ghost》找到發行商,該工作室可能將被迫關閉。

Street在社交媒體上表示:「我想與大家分享消息,Fantastic Pixel Castle作為網易遊戲旗下第一方工作室的時間即將結束。網易在幫助我們尋找新的發行商方面給予了極大支持,但在當前的市場環境下,幾乎沒有任何遊戲能輕易達成發行協議,更不用說像MMORPG這樣規模龐大的項目。」
他補充道:「我們正在盡一切努力尋找發行商或投資者。同時,我們也鼓勵團隊成員積極探索新的職業機會,並在這個充滿不確定性的階段為他們提供支持。如果我們無法儘快找到發行商,現實情況是整個工作室,包括管理層在內,都可能受到影響。」
I wanted to share the news that Fantastic Pixel Castle’s time as a first party studio within NetEase Games is coming to an end.

NetEase Games has been very gracious and supportive of looking for another publisher for our game. However, in the current market environment very few deals are getting made for any game, let alone something on the scale of an MMORPG.

Street感謝了《Ghost》項目的玩家社區、參與測試的玩家,以及「數百位為我們提供融資建議的業內人士」。他表示:「我真心希望大家未來能有機會體驗到《Ghost》。」
他還向團隊表達了敬意:「Fantastic Pixel Castle的開發團隊創造了一款值得我們自豪的遊戲。這是我職業生涯中合作過的最優秀團隊之一,團隊士氣和表現的數據都創下了我所見過的最高水平。」
We want to thank the Ghost community, our playtesters, and the literally hundreds of people who have given us advice on how to find funding in this absurdly challenging time for our industry. I hope you all will have a chance to play Ghost.

I also want to thank the FPC team who has made a game that we all should be proud of. I know it's cliche to say this, but demonstrably this is the best team I have ever worked with.

Street最後表示:「儘管面臨重重挑戰,過去兩年依然是我職業生涯中最令人滿足的時光。」
We are rigorous in collecting data, and the data on our team morale and performance is higher than I have ever seen. Despite the challenges, the past two years have been the most satisfying of my career. /thread

在當前的遊戲市場環境下,發行與融資的困難已成為行業普遍現象。今年以來,包括微軟遊戲部門在內的多家大型公司都進行了裁員或項目取消。類似的情況也出現在Romero Games身上,其新FPS項目曾在7月失去資金支持,但隨後又獲得多家發行商接洽。外界希望Fantastic Pixel Castle能迎來類似的轉機,繼續完成《Ghost》的開發。
