Count me in as well. Hopefully you can take what has become of Unity so far and take it to a next generation console or somewhere crazy. Looking forward to your next project already. Cheers.

That must be so tough.

I'll just wish you more success next time.

Ack

I just spoke to moobaa who informed me of the news. Awful, bad, sad.

I'm gutted. Selfish reasons come to the fore at first. And then I think of you Jeff. I am so, so, sorry about the pausing of your vision.

Your work will not be in vain.

It is just a pause though. You will realise Unity. It will happen and we will play it like a mutherfucker when the time comes. Oh yes.

Please take care.

And if you don't want to work on the game... then what about VLM?! There's lots of people out there who would appreciate even just that part.

I'd love to know where the owenership lies for what Jeff has built to date. I'd also love to hear that Jeff keeps the rights to VLM 3.5 and can find some way of releasing it on it's own on the GC at any point in the future.

Life never quite goes the way you plan it, does it? *sigh*

Attack of the Mutant Camels was the second game I ever played on my C64 and I didn't stop playing it 'till I could beat my dad at it. I have every faith that what ever you do now will be just as fantastic as that game was to me.

Have a good christmas break and let us know what it'll be afterwards

Well, shit.

Best wishes to you. I hope things work out and eventually we get some Minter love on some console (Xbox Next? PS3?).

Awwwwwwww, Jeff, man.....damned terrible news for you, I can't imagine how you're feeling right but I'm sure the sheep will make you feel better.

I was looking forward to the VLM more than anything else and sincerely hope this will make an appearance in some other form in the future.

I dont think I can add anything constructive here, so I'll just say:

love.

Keep it real man.

Hey Yak,

So sad to hear it. The main reason i'm still playing games was actually just to wait for Unity to come along. And strange as it may seem, the thought of playing it saw me through a lot of hard times. I'll tell you about it if we should meet some day.

Can't wait to see what you'll do next. Godspeed.
