id Software is working more closely with MachineGames on technology development, co-studio director Marty Stratton says. He discussed the collaboration when asked how id Software was doing after the Xbox layoffs.
The studios have long had a close relationship, according to Stratton. Their strengthened technology effort began earlier this year, before the job cuts.
Stratton confirmed that roughly half of id Software's staff left as part of the cuts. He also said the restructuring involved a deliberate effort to keep both game development and the technology department viable.
