😄 An interesting event happened this week.A game that had not been heard of for almost 7 years has shown signs of life.
In 2013, Project Phoenix became the most successful JRPG on Kickstarter.The project raised more than a million dollars with a request of $100 thousand, and attracted veterans of Skyrim, Final Fantasy and Diablo.However, after several transfers, the developers practically disappeared, and since 2019 they have completely stopped communicating.
Now the head of the project, Hiroaki Yura, has broken his silence for the first time in seven years.He admitted that he made a serious mistake by stopping communicating with backers, explained the departure of a key programmer and personal problems, and also said that all this time he was creating other studios and projects in order to earn money for the development of Project Phoenix.According to him, all Kickstarter funds went towards creating the game - the script, music, models and early prototypes - and not on third-party projects.
Despite such a long break, the developer assures that Project Phoenix is still alive and has even become larger than the original plan.True, he will have to wait a long time: he expects to complete development only by the end of 2031.In the near future, the author promises to open a Discord server and regularly talk about the progress of work.
I even wonder what will come out first, Star Citizen or this Project Phoenix?More precisely, it’s not even clear that this will ever be released. #game
