Indie studio Heart Machine is making another round of layoffs. 

In a statement to Game Developer, the company said that it was making job cuts but did not specify how many staff were going to be affected by the news. 

"As we wrap up our work on Hyper Light Breaker, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to part ways with a number of talented team members. This was not our ideal path, but rather the only one available given the circumstances," Heart Machine wrote.

"While this path will include a conclusion on the project, it reflects broader forces beyond our control, including shifts in funding, corporate consolidation and the uncertain environment many small studios like us are navigating today."

In a second and separate statement, Heart Machine wrote that the intention was to work on the game for as much as possible for development is halted. 

"We still have something coming in January," a rep for the studio wrote. 

"We plan to deliver something meaningful and as polished and complete as we can given our current circumstances. We’re doing our best to refine what we can, complete key systems, and have the game culminate in a satisfying punctuation point.

"Given our limited resources with team members rolling off the project, we won’t be releasing any more updates or hosting any Q+As for the rest of this year. We want to make sure the team can focus fully on getting this next release into the best shape possible."
