An Important Update on the Future of A Simple Job
Dear Community,
Today, we have to share some unfortunate news with you—news that is incredibly difficult for us to write.
After many discussions, the collaboration between DreamStudios and Saturn91 has come to an end.
The reason is that Saturn91 decided not to continue the development of A Simple Job. As we were unable to agree on a shared future for the project, we mutually agreed to permanently end its development.
Unfortunately, this also means that A Simple Job will not receive any further updates, content, or expansions.
Why This Hurts So Much
At DreamStudios, we have always made it our goal to properly finish every game we create.
That is why this decision hurts us more than words can express. A Simple Job will become the first game in our studio's history that we cannot finish the way we originally envisioned.
A final DLC featuring the two most requested endings from the community was already planned.
In addition, A Simple Job 2 was already in its early concept phase. We had planned a major visual overhaul, improved gameplay mechanics, and many new ideas inspired by your feedback.
Sadly, none of these plans will ever become reality.
Thank You
We know many of you have been waiting for new updates over the past months.
DreamStudios truly wanted to continue supporting A Simple Job and give it the ending we always believed it deserved. However, due to the agreement reached between the project partners, we are no longer able to continue development.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who played the game, shared feedback, created content, or simply supported us throughout this journey.
Without you, A Simple Job would never have become what it is today.
What's Next for DreamStudios?
While this chapter is coming to an end, DreamStudios is not.
The experience we gained from A Simple Job has taught us many valuable lessons, and we have taken those lessons into our current project, Retail Rivals.
Unlike A Simple Job, Retail Rivals is being developed, managed, and published entirely by DreamStudios. This allows all important decisions to remain within our studio and helps ensure that situations like this cannot happen again.
For us, Retail Rivals is far more than just another game.
It represents our passion, our experience, and everything we have learned over the years. We have invested countless hours into making it the best game we possibly can.
We sincerely hope you will continue this journey with us and give Retail Rivals a chance.
Thank you for your trust, your support, and for being part of the A Simple Job community.
– The DreamStudios Team
