Round8 rebrands as Nough, releases 16-minute doc and details sequel plans

Round8 Studio has rebranded as Nough and published a 16-minute mini-documentary about its culture and work on the Lies of P series. Nough (a portmanteau of “Not Enough”) operates under the motto “Games by Gamers” and remains the team behind Lies of P as a subsidiary of publisher Neowiz. The studio confirmed an unnamed Lies of P sequel is in full production and emphasized ambitions to build a bigger, better action game. Nough outlined internal testing practices including streamed playtests by the director and company-wide “Game Day” sessions where the whole studio plays current builds.

• Nough released a 16-minute mini-documentary showcasing its development culture and work on Lies of P and Overture.
• Round8 Studio has been renamed Nough (short for “Not Enough”) and is operating under the motto “Games by Gamers”; the team remains the creators of Lies of P and is a Neowiz subsidiary.
