aww and I was just starting to get really excited about it. Nevermind I'm sure the next project will be even bigger and better. Have a good one.

Arsebiscuits.

Hopefully it turns up in some form at some point or another in the future, 2 years of work for nought would be pretty rough.

Heh - I prefer "That which does not kill me, makes me stranger". It's more truthful in my case...

Much respct, that was a very tough decision to make.

I think a break is very well deserved at this point, you've put a lot of work into this.

Looking forward to the future

Sorry to hear the news, Jeff.

I think koworld hit the nail on the head - you haven't let anyone down at all and the vision is still there as bright as it ever was. All the best mate.

Never a step back arron, the things we learn and live help us to continue
into the future with more wisdom and hope, what does not kill us make
us stronger.

You know that I understand that already.

As for death, well..there's always next time around..

I'm so, so sorry to hear this.

Yak, I hope you are OK, mate. I can't articulate what I want to say. I'm really proud of you though, Jeff. You could have rushed your dream, but you didn't. You'll be back.

Unity isn't dead Jeff. Just on hold.

I'm gutted for you Jeff, it must have been a hard decision to make but, I'm sure, the right one. Here's to the future.

*raises glass.

Cheers
Chris

Like others have said, I commend you for not rushing a product out the door. Hang in there, and remember there's no such thing as wasted code. With modification I'm sure all the technology you've developed for Unity can be put to good use elsewhere.

Your games are truly one-of-a-kind and I eagerly anticipate the next project.

Here's to a prompt superzapper recharge

Very sad news, Jeff.

Try to get some well-deserved rest, gather your thoughts and let's carry on from there. Like Koworld said, the work you've put into this isn't wasted. You have something to build on, something to develop further (if you choose to). Who knows what it might turn into one day?

Here's to Unity!
