They’re no longer working on a previously unannounced game called “Snail”, say the developerson Xitter.
“It’s been an exciting and transformative 12 years,” say the developers.
“We love making games - and will continue to do so, for years to come.
We’re excited to be working side-by-side with the talented people at Valve.
But for now - sleep tight, Hopoo Games.”
This is not the first time a small indie team has been absorbed into the opaque Valve hivemind.
Even if it still has a release date of, uh,December 2029.
As for precisely what the (ex) Hopoo crowd will be working on, we don’t know.
We know Valve is working on multiplayer shooterDeadlock, so that’s one possibility.
