Looks like the studio behind Star Wars Zero Company, which is doing pretty well on Steam, has furloughed most of its staff. The article suggests that uncertainty around the tabletop RPG's performance is the main reason. It's a bummer to see this happen, especially when an indie project gains traction.

Anyone following the TTRPG scene feel the same way?

The situation with Star Wars Zero Company reminds me of the struggles faced by the indie game Night in the Woods. That game gained significant popularity and acclaim, yet the team behind it went through financial turmoil, which felt heartbreaking given the dedication and passion evident in their work. The uncertainty in the tabletop RPG space is particularly tough, as these projects often rely on community support to thrive. Just like Night in the Woods, it can be disheartening to see a creative endeavor falter when it seems to resonate with so many players. The rollercoaster of indie development continues to be a stark reminder of the industry's unpredictability, even for those projects that appear to be succeeding.
