Andrew Dice, perhaps better known as one half of the localization studio Carpe Fulgur, has passed away, and his partner has declared that the studio is ceasing operations as a result of his untimely death.
News of Dice's death was shared on social media by fellow Carpe Fulgur founder Robin Light-Williams, who simply announced that their "friend and business partner Andrew Dice...has passed away", and that "pursuant" to Dice's death, "Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations".
Light-Williams didn't share any cause of death for Dice, and there hasn't been an official announcement regarding his death from anyone else close to him either (at least, not a public-facing announcement).
If you haven't heard Dice or Carpe Fulgur's name, you'd probably know them from some of their work. Their first foray into localization was 2010's Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, which marries dungeon exploration with shop management in a similar way to 2018's Moonlighter.
Following Recettear, developer EasyGameStation released Chantelise - A Tale of Two Sisters in 2011, and Carpe Fulgur provided localization services for that game as well, in addition to Japanese developer Lizsoft's game Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone.
