Developers For Dota Underlords And The Cycle Are Working From Home

What started in February with game developers in China has since spread to the U.S. and elsewhere. Game (and other) companies are telling their employees to work from home rather than coming into the office, to help prevent the potential spread of COVID-19, a.k.a. the novel coronavirus, and today a few more developers issued similar measures to help keep their workers safe.

Things have been "pretty quiet" on the Dota Underlords front the past few days, and that's because the dev team has been "working from home, taking precautions and adjusting to the current state of the world."

It's a similar situation for Studio Yager, developers of The Cycle, based in Berlin, Germany. It's caused modifications in the streaming schedule, but it's not all bad: "maybe we will have more time to play a few matches with you!" they say optimistically, while also promising that Ranked Squad Mode is still coming next week.

There are probably more developers that have taken a similar approach, affecting some or all of their work force, and we imagine we'll hear more about those over the coming days. I will also be working from home for the foreseeable future -- not that surprising, since it's been my default for the last eight years, but I thought you all should know.

Before Corona: "YOU NEED TO COME TO WORK, YOU JUST COULDN'T POSSIBLY DO THIS FROM HOME!!!!!"
After Corona hits: "Well you see, we know we have to shut the doors to our studio BUUUUUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE WORKING ANYMORE! JUST DO IT FROM HOME!!"
