You can clearly see the influence of the red room in other games already anyways. When this first came out the level of polish was astounding, but since then many devs have reached or surpassed that level. It's sad really. Would I be happy if Alisha came back to work on the red room? yes. Do I expect it? no. Is there a need in me for it? No, not since other devs have filled the space with comparable content.
The only thing I would add Is how much Alisha struck gold with this game at the time since the thread is still active today despite no activity on her part. The only thing I hope is if she ever come back is for the community to be supportive and welcoming. I know how ruthless we can be at times. I just have no expectations for anything at this point so anything new is good.
