I have to be honest, this is the first I ever heard of the dev and their games. Are they the ones who made Shovel Knight? I didn't see that in the article. Either way, it's never fun to hear someone fail. Hopefully Sega can step in and at least save some jobs.

They are most famous for the Wonderboy series of games.
 
Yeah I've never heard of them. Still, unfortunate.
 
Surprised they are still around. Their game library harks back to the 80s. They haven't done much in the past 10 years.
