Knowing when to give up

TerranRich · Thu 01/04/2004 17:23:08

After much thought and deliberation, I have news that may sadden a lot of you. As some of you may have known, work on By the Sword has been minimal and my inspiration and motivation have been dwindling steadily. I have thus come to the difficult decision to cancel development of BTS once and for all.

I mean, I've been working on the damn thing for 2-3 years now, and it just isn't going anywhere. I've lost my motivation, my drive, and any desire to see the end result. I'm sorry if I sound so defeated, but what with school now (I started this past Monday), intense schoolwork, my regular job, and other, more personal matters, I feel this is the right decision.

I would just like to thank all of the people that have helped in the development of BTS, including LGM, RickJ, Nellie/Shylock, ratracer, BOYD1981, Gravator, m0ds, Petteri, and anyone else who's had a hand in making BTS what it turned out to be.

Thank you all.

Who are us to judge you? If you've meditated it well and are decided not to go on... many of us has cancelled games.

Let me use this thread to officially announce that I've also cancelled Arizona Scott, I was spending one month per background, and that's too much.

Now I was involved in some "sekrit project"... But I think I'll have to postpone it till I pass (hopefully) my last career exams... I use this thread to announce it.

Nothing more to add... start looking for a new thrilling project and make us know of it asap.

And ah! If this is another April's fool thingie, fuck you!

Make your mind up. In the 'AGS shareware' thread you said it was nearing release. WHICH IS IT, CANCELLED OR RELEASED?!

i was about to say what AGA said... but he beat me to it!

edit

and say that this has got to be a lame april fools joke.

Please can we finally get over this shit. Every year, same old shit. Some people get fooled, others don's, and then the others don't give a fuck.

It's a lame excuse for a special day anyway.

If we have such a lame day like this, does that mean i should start July's naked Day?

FFS!!!

M0ds'joke has been so much funnier and less lame... Reliable at the start and easy to realise that it was a joke at the end.

Short and clean.

I'm still waiting for you to Start production of BTS and quit the promotion of BTS.....

Yep, I'm a bastard...heh...

What was m0ds' joke.

And yes, I've been working on BTS, it's just that it's hard to do. Seriously, YOU try taking it over...see how long it'll take YOU.

Heh...

I would turn it more into a comedy...and ultimately ruin it...Oh, and if I did it the ending would be disapointing too, nobody likes my endings....

And is it just me, or is that bald headed poser dude in your avatar supposed to look like John Malkovich? If so than good job...

I'm still confused.

Was this an april fools, or a post to try and get people to convince you to start again to renew motivation or what??!!
