The studio behind the struggling racer Wreckreation has turned to Patreon in a last-ditch effort to survive. Three Fields Entertainment, founded by ex-Burnout devs, needs roughly sixty-five thousand dollars a month to keep its ten-person team together after the game's poor launch and lack of publisher support.
CEO Fiona Sperry had previously warned that the entire staff faced potential layoffs. The studio is now asking players for direct funding through the subscription platform, stating the next few months are critical. They are also actively seeking new publishing partners and pitching other projects.
This move highlights the brutal reality for many smaller developers currently. The games industry is facing widespread cuts and closures, with financial instability a constant threat. The studio's public transparency about its dire financial needs is a stark indicator of its precarious situation.
