Unity - an announcement

Every now and then a Llamasoftie will say something interesting. Honestly! This is where we will keep these topics so that they don't get deleted.

Sad news indeed. :(
Life goes on however, and you still have the best, most caring and intelligent furom on the net in very close proximity when the chips are down.
A feat you should be genuinely proud of.
I for one, wouldn´t have been here, if it wasn´t for who you were then, and more importantly, who you are now.

UNITY´s still an amazing concept. Whether or not it´ll ever see the light of day is less important than the fact, that brilliant and innovative minds still operate within the gaming community.

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.
Quite true :)

Do you get to keep the devkit?

I don't know what to say really... 7 pages in everyone seems to have covered it.

I liked the idea of unity, I liked what I saw of it and judging by your enthusiasm I get the impression this is not the end by any means.

Right now what matters is that you rest and take some time for yourself because we know how damn commited you are to entertaining us and we appreciate the immense amount of hours you've put in, but now it's christmas right? time for a rest.

put the kettle on and that's an order :)

Unlocking effects for the VLM as you progress through the game?

GENIUS.

We might have to wait a bit longer but I'm sure it'll be worth it. :)

Something you are working on Giles? I think that I am beginning to understand.. :D

Gobsmacked. :(

I was (and indeed still am in some incarnation) looking forward to throwing some pixels around.

Sorry to hear that Jeff *hug*

On a more positive note, just look at how your vision has grown, blossomed and evolved.. The routines are still there...just 'dormant' waiting to rise as something.

Keep the faith. As will I.

Oof. I just heard the bad news. Fuck. Really sorry to hear it :(

Really disappointed for you Jeff - projects get cancelled all the time in this industry, but obviously this was really something you wanted to make. Anyway, keep your chin up mate, have a mellow Xmas and play some DS.

I'm really disappointed for me too. Coz I wanted to play it! Yes, I'm a selfish bastard!

Bah. Wonder what happens to the work that's been done so far... does Lionhead own it, or can Llamasoft / Jeff still use that groundwork for other projects? Sorry to be gnawing at the bones of Unity already - I suppose I should wait for the funeral before I start thinking of what happens next.

All the best Jeff... to be honest if the project isn't coming together as you wanted and as quickly as you needed, it's better to cancel it sooner rather than later. It's gutting, but I'm sure you've done the right thing.

Arse.

Any hopes that an incomplete version, or separate GC VLM might appear? There are GC emulators out there.

Oof. Bollocks. That's some sad news. :(

Chin up Jeff, I'm sure someone on here can try and chuck you a Xbox2/PS3/Revolution devkit to continue Unity on. :)

Have a few days off and scritch some sheepies.

Wow, can't even imagine how it must feel to do that :(

Massive respect for knowing when to step away though, it's the hardest thing in the world to do. If it's not worth doing well...

Big hugs and hope for the future to you.
