Jeromy posted one final announcement on his website, and that was pertaining to the failure and closure of the game. In the incredibly long, drawn-out post, he went on to, instead of apologizing to fans and backers on his utter inability to deliver on what was promised, blame investors that wouldn’t give him the money he needed to keep game development moving forward. Or, well, I say keep development moving, but what I mean is keep putting more money in their pockets to do absolutely nothing. It sucks when a crowdfunded game fails to deliver on something they promised. This has been seen repeatedly over the development cycle of many Kickstarter funded MMOs. KurtzPel is on the brink of shutting down, MapleStory 2 just shut down, Bless Online– okay, actually, everyone was happy when Bless shut down.

There have been a ton.īut the worst perpetrators? The games, and developers that cancel a game before it even launches, after spending years building up hype for the game and making false promises.īut hey, that’s the market right now, and why I don’t really back any games. Not because I can’t – I’d love to back a ton of different games, but because this happens so often that I won’t. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to purchase a finished product.Progress apparently continues on Chronicles of Elyria spin-off game Kingdoms of Elyria, as outlined in Soulbound Studios’ latest dev blog.
