Hey all. Some of you might remember that Gallium Studios, a new game studio created by Will Wright, released a trailer a few years ago for their upcoming game named "Proxi", a new life sim game.
If you accessed the developer's webpage, you could watch the trailer through YouTube (now deleted), check out their YouTube page (now deleted), join the Discord server (deleted one random day without any previous word EDIT: I could swear the Discord server had disappeared but I have found it, only the public invite link is not working anymore, but here is a new working one to the existing Proxi Discord server), among others. Some social media sites still remain up; most of them relating to the studio directly instead of the game -- Gallium Studios' Facebook page is still up and their last post is of last year, mentioning Proxi.
Everything's being deleted and I can't understand why. The last post I can find of Gallium Studios' social media is this one on LinkedIn, which reads: "Gallium Studios is now working on an AI behavioral agent engine. This was the basis for Will's Proxi game and will now become the first game of a number of games using the engine." I have the paid version of LinkedIn, so I can see that they have downsized their workforce to about half of what they used to be in July 2024, firing almost 20 people between September 2024 and January 2025.

Does someone have any idea what's going on?

EDIT: I have found the Discord server. Someone (not a dev) posted this message a month ago on one of the server’s channels, which I think is relevant to this: “Thank you for your interest in Proxi. At this point the team is very small and extremely busy. We haven't heard much from them but I know they showed something at GDC. Right now I think they're just trying to get what they need to get the game launched, I'm not sure anymore ideas could be added at this point. As I'm sure they have a full plate in front of them.”
