Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

realizing there is a profound modernity in the "maximize each time slot" ludonarrative of Persona or Consume Me, the pressure to balance all your resources towards barely fulfillable goals, achieving salvation only by weighing the costs and rewards of meals, hobbies, friendships

Returning from #TGS25 ✈️ Capcom is killing it lately, enjoyed all of the titles at their booth (RE9, Pragmata and Onimusha) Critical Reflex had an IRL setup for Buckshot Roulette - the queue was too long for me but it looked very cool

Sad news today. Bithell Games, having been unable to secure a new larger scale project, is reducing in size. This means that eleven jobs are being made redundant. This constitutes the majority of our full-time staff.

It became clear leading up to the release of our most recent game that we were not immune to the challenges faced by many game development teams seeking funding partners in 2024 and 2025. We’ve fortunately been able to communicate these challenges ahead of time, and work with affected staff to ease departures as much as possible via severance packages.

It’s important to state that this was an incredible team of exceptionally talented people. If you’re a developer reading this, and you’re hiring; anyone among those affected would be a great addition to your studio, please reach out if we can help to put you in touch.

This news will not impact the availability of our existing self published games and ongoing support for them. We are incredibly grateful for our audience, and hope that your interest in our work follows individual team members as they head into other roles.

Bithell Games was always defined and elevated by our people. Today we 
are less.

-   Mike Bithell
