It's January 9th, 2025 and is this game abandoned or...?
It's January 9th 2025 and this game hasn't been abandoned, but development is ticking along very slowly.
We're long overdue to put out some kind of dev log or update on Wrestling With Emotions 2. Unfortunately the situation is rather sad, and we don't really like needing to share sad news.
The TL:DR is that our publisher run into financial difficulties and had to stop funding all their unreleased projects, including WWE2. This put us in a very difficult situation. We desperately wanted to finish the game and release it, but had lost our funding and publishing support to do that. We didn't want to rush out a game that we weren't happy with. We also didn't know how we were going to keep Team Lazerbeam going without that support.
The good news is that we were able to get a lot of interest in one of our other titles, Shroom and Gloom. This meant we could not only keep our doors open, but our full time team has been able to grow. And for the first time in 10 years of making games together, a Team Lazerbeam title has broken out of the alternative, punk game space and captured the interest of the wider indie game community. We're super grateful for everything, but it does mean WWE2 is currently very much on the back burner.
We're totally committed to bringing this beautiful game to people when the stars align, although we have no idea when that might be.
Thanks for checking in, and for your interest in Wrestling With Emotions 2. Hope you'll love the final game when it's eventually launches.
So glad to be playing games from you lot again :)
Aw yeah! Thank you so much! Always stoked to see you playing one of our game. Excited to check this out!
