The developers on Skull Island: Rise of Kong reportedly didn't have much time.
Skull Island: Rise of Kong released less than a week ago, but the game has quickly become a punchline. Gameplay footage shared on social media revealed unfinished cutscenes and crude animations. As stills and videos circulated, many questioned how this type of game could have gotten released in the first place. It turns out that the game looks so rushed because developer IguanaBee was reportedly given just one year to make it from scratch.
Crunch Culture and Not Enough FundingThe Verge's sources went on to note that crunch on Rise of Kong had been going on since February, and GameMill's funding only allowed small teams to work on the game at one time; this could mean as many as 20 people at once, or as little as just two. IguanaBee has now worked on multiple titles for GameMill, which have had similar restrictions, and not enough information provided by the publisher.
On one hand, these licensed projects have helped IgunanaBee keep the lights on. However, this also means that the majority of the offers the team receives are for additional licensed games. However, as The Verge notes, taking on projects with little turnaround time or resources can end up hurting the company's reputation. It's hard to say if that will end up happening as a result of Skull Island: Rise of Kong, a game that has now become famous for all the wrong reasons.
