If he doesn't want to make it, let anyone who's willing do his deed. Anyone please take over. I want to watch it go further
There are plenty of reasons this game is dead and buried,
First of all,you can only take over the game if you have permission.
Devs still keeps the rights to their games,you can't just take someone else's game and carry it on.well,you could but they could claim any money you make from it.
And the guy that will continue the game need to know everything that the original author have planed,because great games have a writing that anticipate the future,and the events that we guess through the dialogs and story need to happen.and,obviously,the story need to continue in the same direction.
He also need to know everything that the original author have defined regarding each character personality and past,
because we expect them to continue behaving like they did in the previous release.
And of course,he also need to have the same writing style,because it's not just the story that made us like the game,
it's also the way it's told and written.
And of course,this apply even more for the dialogs,the characters have to speaks as they always did until now.
