This morning the entire staff of nearly 40 people at Argonaut Sheffield (formerly Particle Systems) – including me – were laid off / made redundant, and the studio closed down. Our parent company is in financial difficulties and had already shed 55 jobs at its London office.
It’s not a tremendous shock – I realised a while ago that it could happen, but it’s still an upsetting time.
I’ll still however be as big an I-War fan as all of you are, and I’ll continue to post on this and the Atari I-War forums. I’ll remain an active member of the community and still endeavour to answer your queries as best I can.
And there WILL be more paper models from me. I’ll probably have a bit more time to make them now.
I wish to thank you all for your loyalty and support over the years, it really makes producing the games seem more worthwhile.
