  Anime action RPG studio Pahdo Labs shuts down despite accruing $17.5M in funding: 'We believed making a demo of a familiar but new game would be our best shot'

  In November, just three months after it launched into early access, Starlight Re:Volver halted updates. Despite a demo that did well during Steam Next Fest, the anime action RPG underperformed at launch. Pahdo Labs laid off half its team, halted updates, and said it was going "back to the drawing board", with a follow-up announcement promised for February... Read more.

  Anticipated anime action RPG halts updates just 3 months after launch because of poor sales: 'The game wasn’t fun enough to sustain a consistent, healthy player base'

  It's a videogame story that's all too common these days. "Despite a strong number of wishlists and a strong community of early playtesters," the roguelite action RPG Starlight Re:Volver failed to catch fire after its release in August, and developer Pahto Labs has laid off half its team and says the game will receive no further updates...

  The future of Starlight Re:Volver and Pahdo Labs

  Hi, everyone - this post has some major updates regarding Starlight Re:Volver, Pahdo Labs’s future priorities as a studio, and what this means to our players.Our Current Situation is DifficultTo begin with some context to be as honest as possible to our community, Starlight Re:Volver did not sell well enough to sustain our studio operations.We had a lackluster launch despite a strong number of wishlists and a strong community of early playtesters. We acknowledge a large part of this was due to the quality of the game itself; we had ambitious goals of making a bustling social hub with a robust roguelite gameplay system, but we spread ourselves too thin. Our sales numbers are a reflection that the game wasn’t fun enough to sustain a consistent, healthy player base.Consequently, we recently had to cut half of our development team, shift the entire team to working remotely, and had numerous discussions on how to best move forward with the game and what could realistically save our studio from shutting down.That brings us to the present day: we concluded that incremental, monthly changes to Starlight Re:Volver wouldn’t move the needle enough for us to “save” this game or our studio. Maintaining Starlight Re:Volver as we have done is not a viable path forward, business-wise for our studio, and we need to go back to the drawing board to ultimately make something our community will enjoy.We understand we disappointed many Divers throughout this process and cannot overstate how much we appreciate everyone who played the game regardless of the outcome. If the opportunity comes, we promise to return the generosity in the future by rewarding our existing players (sorry…we need to be vague on the details but for those who bought the game, we promise it won’t be for nothing if we survive).Starlight Re:Volver will still be available to playStarlight Re:Volver will still be available to all users who purchased the game and will continue to be available for purchase. However, the ga...
