Lab Zero Games has been removed from Skullgirls development. A wave of staff resignations from the development studio responsible for the long-running indie fighting game Skullgirls is the catalyst for development duties being taken away from the studio founder and abusive creator of the series. Reports going as far back as March alleged inappropriate, abusive behavior by Skullgirls co-creator Mike ?Mike Z? Zaimonthas towards staff, leading to a hostile work environment that many at Lab Zero no longer felt was safe.
In the wake of Mike Z failing to acknowledge the accusations, members of the development team announced their resignation from the studio yesterday, including Art Director Mariel Cartwright, Brian Jun, Senior Animator Jonathan Kim, and more. This appeared to be the last straw, for Skullgirls publisher Autumn Games and Skullgirls Mobile developer Hidden Variable. They announced in a joint statement yesterday that Lab Zero will no longer handle Skullgirls development, nor will Mike Z continue his involvement in the series.
