Report: Fall Guys dev Mediatonic "decimated" by Epic layoffs
It's cool how you can be providing the labor for a company and then that company gets bought by another company and the shareholders who don't actually make the thing get rich and then you get fired because the other company has a bad year even though the thing you labored for is incredibly successful.
Tangentially, I haven't played in ages but they should have made it local coop so we can have fun on the courses without having to play through the same few opening courses and deal with lobbies.
Yeah, them deciding that no stage is sacred and not allow for any offline or private play was extremely frustrating and made it so that I just lost the ability to give a shit at all about the game
Custom lobbies (i.e. the exact feature you're asking for) were launched in December 2020, in beta mode, then March 2021 to everyone. So the feature you wanted has been there for over 2.5 years.
It's always fascinating to me to see highly rated comments that are pretty out of touch with the actual subject matter.
I remember the 29 days when Fall Guys was relevant.
The four days before cheating became rampant were amazing
Wait... was it a leap year this year? 🤔
They should've stuck with Steam instead of going exclusive through Epic Games. Epic's predatory practice of PC exclusives makes it hard to survive something like this. If they existed on a broader spectrum of services, this would be no big deal.
Um, they were purchased by Epic. They didn’t have a choice.
They did have a chocie They shouldn't have sold themselves to epic and instead took the next best offer that came along

'Epic layoffs' is a pretty funny term in a vacuum.
As someone who has played the game from day 1, and almost every day since, it's a shame that this game that already is on auto drive will be crippled even further. If you have a bunch of friends who just wanna chat and don't wanna play something competitive it fills all those roles.
I guess we should expect even less changes and content going forward... I know the level creation was just created to allow the community to provide free content so I wonder what else they can do to continue this or if the game will just die off.
Welp. I only played Murder By Numbers from them, but it's sad to see a studio you know get hit like that.
Oooh, I didn't know it was by them.
Yea, it was a fun little mash up of VN and nonograms.
They just did that FF14 collab too... I think the fall guys portion of it was already accessible but I think the ff14 event is coming up next patch?
I played it obsessively for the first season and got pretty decent at it.
The second season started, I got disconnected from my first four games about 3 rounds into each. Played it once more on the day that you could cheese the Infallible achievement by running Hoverboard Heroes over and over.
Never played it again. Certainly never touched it since it went "free".
