Over nine months of hard work, it was not an easy ride.
Skipped meals and sleepless nights, who dares say the effort has gone to waste?
They can say what they want to say about our game, about our company, about our team. They’ve been doing that since day 1 anyway.
We’ve accomplished something that is worth more than sale numbers and metascores – We made a game that we enjoy playing and we proved that we are a damn good test team. Did we take risks and attempt something that would have needed more time? Of course. But I would rather work on something risky and potentially revolutionizes the genre if done right, than to help put together a roster update for another sure-fire sequel that only keeps the budget people happy. Any day.
Nothing can be dismissed here, we didn’t let anyone make us think that we are doing a bad job during development, and we won’t ever let anyone tell us that we wasted our time on this.
The only shame here is now gamers will never be able to experience this game. They mocked, and look what they chased away now?
