KeokeN Studio Faces Heartbreaking Team Layoffs

In a **heartbreaking** turn of events at KeokeN, we have had to make the difficult decision to lay off our valued team members. This decision comes after a challenging outcome following our recent visit to GDC. It's a situation that has weighed heavily on all of us.

The Impact of GDC

During our time at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), we had high hopes for potential partnerships and opportunities. However, the aftermath has left us feeling disheartened. Key factors that contributed to this situation include:

Lack of Substantial Opportunities: We were unable to secure any impactful collaborations or investments.
Market Conditions: The current landscape in the gaming industry has proven to be unpredictable.
Funding Challenges: Attempts to secure necessary funding did not materialize as anticipated.

A Noticeable Shift

Our team has worked **tirelessly** to create engaging and innovative gaming experiences. The decision to lay off staff was not made lightly; it reflects a significant shift in our operational strategy. We want to emphasize:

The dedication and commitment of our team members cannot be overstated.
Our love for the projects we've developed and the community we’ve built together.

Support for Our Team

We are deeply saddened by this situation and are committed to supporting our affected employees during this transition. Our efforts include:

Severance Packages: Providing financial support to assist in this challenging time.
Job Placement Assistance: Offering resources for job hunting and skill development.
Emotional Support: Facilitating access to counseling services for those in need.
