Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney has announced the shuttering of Impossible Studios. The studio, formed by Epic back in August to develop Infinity Blade: Dungeons, has been offered three months' severance pay, as well as the opportunity to keep using the Impossible Studios name and logo (pictured to the left).
On Thursday, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney participated in a panel at GDC about the current indie game development scene, and how it's reminiscent of the old days of garage development. Sweeney pointed out that building an independent game is still about a bunch of developers making their creative visions come true with 2D pixel-based graphics, though there are obviously major differences between the monetization methods of the '80s and today. That's why, Sweeney says, indies must be vigilant against having their ideas ripped off.
