Hm, this is a surprise. Too bad, would've been a superb game. Best of luck.

[pixhead]

This hurts so much because this project was such an inspiration for me.

At the same time it fuels me to finish my game.

[Davioware]

Awwww! I really wanted to play this game. Shame to hear that you're not continuing it.

Was it too ambitious? or fatally flawed somehow? WHYYYYYYYY!

[Paul Eres]

my hope was that anyone who works on a game at least a little bit daily was bound to finish it sooner or later, so this is sort of a blow against that idea

I gave up on my own project for about a year. The break allowed me to change into the monster that was needed to finish the project. Which still isn't finished.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a village to burn down.

this seems to be assuming something that hasn't happened yet, tho. in my experience extended breaks from a game are much more likely to lead to that game never being finished than to lead to the person returning to them and finishing them. both happen pretty regularly though. i've even seen a game (back in the ohrrpgce community) that was given up on and then restarted *five times*, over the course of nine years, called "fantasy under a blue moon x" (in the link, scroll down to #1). it wasn't ever finished, although the unfinished version was still pretty fun

Good luck with the artwork ! please return some day and make an even better game !

Gabriel, I am kind of bummed to hear that you are ending the project...

Be like a phoenix that rises from its ashes and fly on home!!

[Erinock]

May she rest in peace, after so much work, sweat and blood I'm rather surprised, you really stuck it out and got so much stuff done. Well done Gabe, may you thrive in whatever you choose to go into.

Truly, even if it was only for the amazing devlog, it was a pleasure getting a look into your creative, brilliant mind. Well done

you really stuck it out

Kind of an odd choice of words...

Anyway, sorry to hear you're ending development on this.

Haha just got that, good one

Is there not a coder who could jump in and take the designs and artwork to its conclusion or would that be out of the question?

(bit busy myself at the mo, but I'm sure there's lots of people who would like to have the honour of shouldering the burden)

I would write some short and poetic story about how the Archer is to return.
Return to the house with the perfect reference on its wooden wall.
Arrive on the ink-black bird that still resides on my desktop.
Pass by the many towers bombarded with foul creatures.
Sleep with Archer scarf and nightcap to keep warm.
Dream of the robots that can only be dreamed of.
See the map that Archer eyes alone can see.
Eyes that droop even more as I type.
But I suck at that type of thing.
Wake another day or not.
Sleep, Archer.
Thankyou.


Seriously though, it's sad to see this end.
But the last thing I would want is for you to release all of your documents on Archer. If this ever did happen, it should only be to a single lucky soul, and only if he had some epic homage to this project under his wing, ready to fly but only needing a name.
I need to stop writing. Good luck with your amazing work, Gabriel Verdon.

Sad, sad day...

Oh well, life carries on.

[Chris Pavia]

I'm sad to see this go unfinished as well. Hopefully some will take away from this the importance of being aware of the size/scope of the project overall.

This projects the reason I joined TIGForums. Thank you so much for all the updates and inspiration. I wish you the best of luck Gabriel.
