āWe have learned that laptops float sometimes,ā one of the developers of small indie studio Hello Games Tweeted late today, breaking what appears to be the unfortunate news that the offices of one of 2013ās most exciting indie studios have all but been ruined.
Happily, there are no reports of injuries, but the fate of the Joe Danger studioās next game, the in-development out-of-nowhere stunner No Manās Sky is unclear.

Oh god. Water moves really quick. Hello Games has been totally flooded. Everything in the office has pretty much been lost š
A lifesize cardboard cut out of Joe Danger went floating past face down. Poor Joe. He's taking this the worst.

Weāve reached out to the folks at Hello to find out more about what happened. Weāre crossing our fingers that the game was backed up and not lost or set back in any major way. And, of course, we wish everyone at Hello the best in what is certainly a stressful time.
