Laz just told me about this. I read PaperJack's post and... It's just misinformed.

He is correct that there is a large chunk of unpaid work in B2. Most of my work was unpaid and Laz didn't receive a single penny. Among that, Bisse has work and so do others. So why were we never asked about this decision to release the source? That's our work in there. That said, I personally would have been on board with this from the very beginning when I quit, but when this fiasco went down at the beginning there was such insanity there was no getting through to Liam. So while I agree with releasing the source... You didn't talk to any of us about it. Cool beans.

This existed from beginning. One of the earliest ideas in the game was Hoopz getting tortured in prison and then ending up in a wheelchair. The tone of this game was dark from the beginning for reasons I cannot understand. I personally argued against this when I saw these instances to little success.

This is false. The game was unplayable when I came on board. By the time me and Laz quit, the game was workable and it's why we were able to get so much done. Technical problems were not the reason this game died or why people got burned out.

This isn't true. Liam made many unsuccessful funding attempts from various sources during my time on the project. There also was some money that came in from other sources. Also, this idea of silently toiling away... It wasn't like that at all.

There's so much more but that's the most egregious stuff. I don't know why it took nearly two years after no work being done for this to happen, but I don't like how it's being portrayed as this thing where the main problem is that people just cared too drat much. Considering I lived among the people who worked on this game and spent hundreds of hours talking to them, hearing this rose colored glasses version of events is surprising to me.

Thanks for the update - really looking forward to seeing what you nutballs come up with for this game. Can't wait to play it on release day.

The game will still be out before Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2: Seattle Boogaloo.

Finally! Was hoping someone would rip the bandaid off and release the source. Was considering doing it myself but life's been too busy. I guess asking around before releasing would have been polite but personally i'd have said Hell yes go for it.

The Paperjack statement is... fine. It's not malicious, it's just not the full picture and partly wrong but as a final feel-good statement it's fine. There's enough drama here for anyone who wants to know more, and otherwise "everyone meant well but the project failed, enjoy the source" is a fine way to go out.

@GZ About the technical state, agreed that it was pretty good when the project ended but literal multiple years could have been saved by cutting poo poo and avoiding complex systems (e.g. custom collisions, z-height, fusion and all its madness, multiple complete rebuilds of menus systems and whole areas and quests, etc). Maybe that's what he meant.

Eh, real time combat can be easier to do than turn based stuff, if you don't go full retard and stack it with features and hi-def multidirectional graphics. Think Nuclear Throne, an unfathomably much better game with 1-directional sprites, cut the roguelike elements, don't spend excessive time on polish, and boom its a fun decent combat

Future Days: Oct 25, 2013; The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.
