This game studio sourced out development to help with their financial situation. The person who they outsourced it to was Keystone, more exactly David Whittaker. Whittaker scammed the dev team, a husband wife couple by greatly overstating his abilities, and locking them in a contract. The contract lasted two years, and the project so utterly bankrupt them that the couple had to relocate with their kids to another city. Keystone makes false claims of its slow dev time to it stating that it employs majority disabled. In reality, the dev team is few and competent and its progress on Rogue Islands were broken features never patched.

Quote from the article regarding a response from the dev's.
"At the start of the contract with Keystone we handed them the code base so they could continue development. Because our funding had fallen through Kiaran took a job in a new city and we sold our house, bought a new one, and moved with our three kids in tow. It was an incredible stressful period in our lives. Our hope was that Keystone would take the game we made and help to reach a large audience and support feature development and big fixes. Instead we slowly realized that they were unable to contribute anything meaningful. It was quite hard for us to be let out of the contract."
