Cing filing for bankruptcy
Cing, the decendant of another fine developer taken before its time, filed for bankruptcy last week, with liabilities totaling some ¥256 million yen (around $2.83 million).
The studio is mostly known for its Hotel Dusk/Last Window games, but they also worked on Another Code, Little King’s Story, Glass Rose, Again, and the Monster Rancher DS series — LKS, in particular, receives heavy recommendations from the Tiny Cartridge staff (which basically consists of me, JC, Tiny, and the lizard).
So, where did all that money go? Perhaps sales didn’t meet Cing’s projections? Maybe the studio blew it all on burgers and bananas? Whatever happened, it’s a damn shame, and I hope the company manages to pull itself out of this.
If you need us, we’ll be at the bar.
