WTF happened to Stan Ames 2?

[JRock]

   Hey everyone!  Well, as you all (might) know, I produced Stan Ames:Private Eye back in 2006, uttering blurbs about production of  a second episode.  Well, ummm…about that….things have happened since then.  Feelings have changed and serious poop has hit the fan. 
   Let me begin by saying I MISSED THIS PLACE! I haven’t been in the forums since 2006 and I am glad to be back.  Its good to see that the n00bs are still posting in the wrong  forums and Grundy is still kicking everyones ass all over the playground.  Ah, its good to be back. Anywho, onto topic.
   â€œStan Ames Episode 2: Beyond The Stars” has been delayed permanently until further notice.  Why? You ask?  Well I started production in mid 2006.  I accomplished much and things were looking mighty magnificent, but then….my hard drive gave out.  My CPU informed me that a device attached to the system wasn’t functioning properly, and I couldn’t sign in, so I decided to take it to a tech.  They said I needed a new hard drive, so I said OK!  As long as warranty covers it, GO FOR IT!  WELL….When I got my CPU back it worked great! Good?! No?!  All was lost! About 5 months worth of work was gone!  The bastards destroyed and replaced the HD on my CPU and it worked great (in their opinion). I know, I know, I should have backed up my files, but THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME that they were going to destroy the contents of my HD!  Stan Ames 2 was lost and so was my hope.  That was back in 2007.
I havent even  attempted to recreate Ames 2 or even start a new project since.   Plus, the birth of my son back in July and starting a new job have kept me occupied.  But then it hit me about a week ago…..“I miss AGS!”  I told my wife this, and she replied “So do something about it!” .  SO I DID!  Im sorry everyone….I am not reconciling Stan Ames 2, I am starting a brand new project.  My hopes and inspirations have changed a lot in the past three years and so have my ideas, but know this everyone….I AM BACK TO AGS!…..And I couldn’t be more happy!  Ive learned alot here.  I will always backup my files to an external device periodically.  I will never leave AGS for 3 years again.  And last but not least, I will always respect all of you, because of all that you have taught me and all that I will never forget.  All the things that will help me to shine in my new game.   

See you at the “In Production” forums later this year my friends!

Nothing's better than your other half interested/enjoying the fact that you create adventure games I wouldn't know what to do if she thought it was stupid...

Good luck with future projects, btw.
