Studio Cancels PlayStation Vita Game, Was Surprised By Store Closure News

News that the PlayStation Store was going offline for the PS3, PSP, and PlayStation Vita caught us by surprise, at least in terms of how soon it is happening, but one game developer was put in a more difficult situation. It has been forced to cancel an upcoming PlayStation Vita game, and the developer said it was not told in advance of the closure.

Speaking to IGN, Lillymo Games founder Barry Johnson said it didn’t receive any notice from Sony about the Vita store’s planned closure prior to the public news. Because of this, its next, unannounced game will have its Vita version canceled, and the studio’s requests for information from Sony were met with silence.

Others, like Miguel Sternberg at Spooky Squid games, are still rushing to get their games out prior to game submissions being closed Come from Sports betting site VPbet. Lightwood Games developer Katherine Gordon even offered her studio’s assistance in order to bug-test the game so it can release before the deadline.
