That's the problem ... NO ONE had a clue it was coming and no one seems to have any connection to TLG to get an update. It all was shut down in a single day.Well i am sad to see this game get abandoned it was one of my favorites. Has anyone heard anything about why the dev abandoned it and shut down his patreon? From what i could understand it was less than a month from getting an update.
You have forgotten The Coceter Chronicles. One of THE games in the earlier days.Hey Smarmint, Oath of Loyalty is being worked on by someone now. I'd add to your list...
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And that's off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting. You become numb after awhile.
Also would mention STWADev as he has completed a game and has one he is actively developing. But there really are too few people that can be counted on to complete their games.
Daughter for Dessert and Double Homework, last one being continued on by the devs team after his death.Thanks. I'll keep my fingers crossed the new dev can resurrect it. OOL was great, but stopped just as it was getting interesting, IMO.
Absolutely. how could I forget The Author and Unbroken, great examples of a first rate dev. One of the best.
Looking at your addendum, it pains me to read all my favorites like Mad World (I still have hope for this one!), The Redburns, and The Changing Season. Lexi was great too, but I can't count that against Chatterbox (RIP).
You have forgotten Faerin. He is a one of a kind nice dev as well with steady content. Or even The Architect, who has not one great game he completed and has a very disctinct style of developing.Yep. I was shocked at first since this one seemed to be going strong, with no hint that it was about to go down the drain. But those of us that have been here awhile can think of a long list of very good and sometimes great games that were abandoned either in their prime, or just when they were starting to get good:
Our Fate, Babysitters, Connected, Reluctant Archon, Reincarnotica, Dr. Amana, Estate Dominate, Primal Instinct, Elysion, Apartment 69, Apartment 96, The Inheritance, Outbreak, Family Man, Galaxy, Vengeance, Oath of Loyalty.
Unfortunately, for every very reliable and consistent dev like Caribdis, Philly, DPC, Runey, Hopes, Perverteer, Rec, DanielsK, Killer7, NeverLucky, or LikesBlondes, there are a ton of devs that do a great job building a fanbase and then all of a sudden just decide one day it's not worth it anymore, and take the money and run, or even worse BS the fans indefinately until their game gets marked abandoned anyway.
A.O.A Academy is just one more failed game to put on the memorial bonfire. It is a shame, just like all the others.
We can all speculate forever, but the suddenness and the total deletion of everything makes me think number one some sort of mental breakdown or burnout where TLG just said screw it, I am done in a rather self-destructive manner, rather than just fade away or take a long break like most other devs, or like others have said maybe sudden family pressure to stop development. We will never know.
You have two sigs from two dead games and you write in the thread of another dead gameGuys don't worry, he's just remaking the game to give Sung Ji a dick
your point?You have two sigs from two dead games and you write in the thread of another dead game
Devs die if you like their gameyour point?
I've supported quite a few devs on here, too. Including Windward... eventually, you become numb, and you begin to develop a sixth sense for what is and what isn't going to make it.You just had to mention Bad Teacher. I was a patron since the beginning and stayed longer than I should've after he disappeared.
