Australian virtual reality studio Toast Interactive is making the majority of its staff redundant.
In a post on Twitter, founders Toni and Richard Eastes announced that it was shutting down its office and cutting most of its workers. Toast was founded back in 2016 and is behind VR hits like Max Mustard and Richie’s Plank Experience.
“It’s a heartbreaking decision that we never wanted to make,” the Richards wrote.
“The majority of our talented staff have suffered redundancies and we will assist where we can with their journey.
“We’re incredibly grateful and proud of everything the team has accomplished. So much talent and passion went into the creation of Max Mustard and every single accolade speaks volumes.”
“We will continue to improve Richie’s Plank Experience and Max Mustard with a leaner approach. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who has been part of our journey at Toast.”
