Solana is one of the largest gaming projects on the blockchain. Star Atlas (ATLAS), announced a major restructuring that included laying off a significant portion of its employees and prioritizing its near-term products.
Web3 based in Solana, which runs Star Atlas cryptocurrency Gaming company ATMTA said in a statement on its Discord channel that it had to make a “significant staff cut” to keep its long-term capability to continue developing the game.
According to the statement, this move was driven by a combination of factors including a heavy tax bill, the collapse of FTX, which holds a large portion of its treasury, and the difficulty of raising capital in current market conditions.
“Our remaining core team will consist of 45 people, this number had dropped to 235 in late 2022 and to 167 after post-FTX reductions,” said Michael Wagner, CEO and co-founder of Star Atlas.
He added that the reconfigured team will focus on delivering SAGE, a browser-based version of the game, and the newly announced Crew Mobile App, which allows players to manage their crews and ships.
Wagner also said that the CORE graphic novel that tells the story of Star Atlas will continue to be published, and that the DAC platform, a decentralized content creation system, is almost ready for launch.
Wagner thanked the departing team members, arguing that the restructuring would ensure continued development and ensure stability for multiple product launches.
