We weren't able to get funding for ENGINE ANGEL and I've been laid off from Ivy Road, so I'm looking for new full-time animation work (New reel is below! YT link: youtu.be/S4QWqyw_vEs)
Everyone else laid off in the thread are amazing people and great at what they do so please hire them ASAP!!

I'm incredibly sad that we weren't able to keep the team together ~ here's hoping that something does come up in the future where everyone can reunite (whether via Engine Angel or another project)!
In the meantime: if you can, HIRE THESE FOLKS! 😤 Happy to vouch for any one of them!!

While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!
