Throughout the summer, accusations of sexual\u00a0misconduct\u00a0were made towards Mike Zaimont, the lead designer at Skullgirls<\/em> and Indivisible<\/em> developer Lab Zero Games. This led to multiple employees resigning from Lab Zero<\/a>, followed shortly thereafter by Zaimont laying off all remaining staff, which effectively closed the studio.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only been a couple of weeks since\u00a0the news broke, yet in the wake of Lab Zero\u2019s collapse, a number of former Skullgirls<\/em><\/a> developers have announced that they\u2019re forming a new studio called Future Club. This venture is being spearheaded by \u201ca highly diverse team of 15 developers, including artists, animators, programmers and designers\u201d with the goal of developing hand-drawn animated games with engaging gameplay and memorable worlds.<\/p>\n

Described as an \u201cemployee-owned cooperative game development studio,\u201d Future Club is taking active steps to avoid the systemic issues that led to sexual harassment at Lab Zero<\/a>. The studio\u2019s introductory press release came with multiple statements from employees, including CEO Francesca Esquenazi, that stress the importance of everyone\u2019s contribution and promise to maintain \u201copen, honest communication with peers, partners and players.\u201d As Esquenazi puts it, \u201cWe wanted to start fresh with a company structure that was worker owned and gave everyone a say in the future of our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Future Club has yet to announce any projects, but according to Senior Animator Jonathan Kim, the plan is to continue developing hand-drawn animated games in the vein of Skullgirls<\/em> and Indivisible<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe want to make games that inspire kids and adults as much as our old favorites inspired us,\u201d he said, adding that the studio sees a long future ahead for hand-drawn animation and intends to see how far it can push the medium.<\/p>\n
