HakJak Studios Closure

HakJak Studios is Shutting Down

Dear friends, supporters, and fellow gamers,

With a heavy heart, I must inform you that HakJak Studios is being shut down.

This decision came suddenly and unexpectedly, beyond our control. You can read more about our parent company cuts here and here.

As a result of this closure, the fate of our beloved project, Pigeon Simulator, has taken an uncertain turn. The IP is now fully in the hands of tinyBuild, and the future of the game remains unknown. It's a heartbreaking reality for all of us who poured our hearts and souls into this project.

Building HakJak Studios from the ground up, collaborating with this remarkable team, and developing this crazy project and proprietary tech over the years has been an incredible journey. Witnessing it all come to an abrupt end is disheartening, to say the least.

But, let me assure you, our passion for games remains undiminished.

At HakJak Studios, we were a tight-knit team of 17 outstanding individuals, each passionately dedicated to our craft. I had the privilege of personally recruiting and hiring every team member, and I can vouch for their exceptional talent and unwavering commitment. I sincerely hope that they will soon find new opportunities, as they would be such a valuable addition to any team.

As for me, I am determined to turn this challenging chapter into a new and exciting one. I'm actively exploring opportunities within the entertainment industry and even considering a return to solo development projects.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support. Your love for unique games fuels my determination, and I promise to deliver many exciting experiences in the coming years!

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Sincerely,

Jed "HakJak" Steen
