PS: what's up you guys? it seems the entire english section of this forum is gone :( could someone please give me a short summary of what's happened since I left (the previous) JJ?

[Daggerboard]

What the fuck is that???

it looks like the "thing" of aqua...

[sideshowBob]

It's either McGregor's creature or a Squid...

Is it you Goddy?? Keeping a long story short: the forum was down a few times and not everyone has returned since then. Silent Depth is still in the making and Aquanox 3 still isn't.

I honestly don't really know where to start because I don't remember what "previous" JJ you mean. (there are so many)

So here's the short summary (unfortunately only bad news):

1. Massive Developement doesn't exist anymore (you probably know that), so this is no official forum, that's why there is no english section.

2. Helmut Halfmann died, so he won't be writing any further AN storylines ever again :(

3. AN:TAT was cancelled for good

For the rest, see sideshowbob's post.

Yes, it's me
Is SD really still "in the making" or is it just "not finished"?

Yeah I know that, I was still active on that previous forum when it happened. There was no english section there either of course, but people encouraged me to just post in english and most people will understand. But I got so little response to most of my threads and mods and discoveries in AN that I felt my contributions are no longer appreciated.

2. Helmut Halfmann died, so he won't be writing any further AN storylines ever again :(

I heard that, too. :( I just wish I could read his horror stories...

3. AN:TAT was cancelled for good

Wait, I thought it was released, or almost released. What happened?

Well, we do understand you and we appreciated your work. But I think your passion for AN was very exceptional. Most people simply cannot put that much time into a game.

3. AN:TAT was cancelled for good

Well it really almost was released. But first, the game didn't pass Sony's Quality Assurance and another studio Jowood hired wasn't able to fix the problem. So in the end, the release date was delayed several times in a row and then finally cancelled.

Work in progress, my word on it. Xaron paused the project for quite a time but has just revived it. However that doesn't mean it will be released before 2661 A.D., since it's still a one man show.

I'm sorry to hear that, everyone around appreciated the work you put into it (and still does).
