Die Gute Fabrik halts production due to ‘extreme difficulties’ in publishing and investment scene
Studio will continue to operate previously released titles.
Saltsea Chronicles and Mutazione developer Die Gute Fabrik has halted production on new titles due to ‘extreme difficulties’ in the independent publishing and investment scene, the company announced.
“We halted production on February 19, and used our remaining runway to give the current team a month of paid time to catch their breaths,” a message from the studio reads. “We will still try and seek funding to resume production, but wanted to announce this publicly in order that the team can share that they’re looking for new roles.”
Die Gute Fabrik will also provide staff mentoring and career support as it seeks new positions, and its leadership team is also seeking new roles.
The studio will continue to operate its previously released titles. Should the company find funding in future years, production will resume under Nils Deneken as CEO.

We’re sad to share with you all the news that Die Gute Fabrik is halting production.
The publishing and investment scene is so tough for companies and projects of our scale right now it’s made it extremely difficult for Die Gute Fabrik to secure funding for our next project without a gap in income.
We halted production on February 19, and used our remaining runway to give the current team a month of paid time to catch their breaths. We will still try and seek funding to resume production, but wanted to announce this publicly in order that the team can share that they’re looking for new roles. We have also provided mentoring and career support in this period. Our leadership team (Nils and Hannah) will also be looking for new positions.
Die Gute Fabrik ApS will continue to operate to service our past IPs. Production may resume again under Nils Deneken as CEO should the company find funding in future years, and if so we hope to welcome back our excellent collaborators where possible.
We’ve been making games since 2008, and are so proud of the work we’ve put out and the people we’ve made it with. Thank you for playing our games.
