It's been a few years (I think)
Posted 10th Jun 11, by HorrendousGames  
It seems like yesterday we were all excited and groveling over the majesty that was the APP. It was an event to be remembered. There was danger, there was hope, there were tears and drama, violence and anger.

Sgamer8t88 went off to join the military, where he killed several people, which was the intended function of being in the military, except he will be in jail forever after killing all those people in that donut shop.

Rob Westbrook put his coding skills on hold to work at the local zoo, where he befriended a monkey and an elephant.

Resident-Pyromaniac was sued by Ben Foster's character from Hostage, and from then on has been living in a garbage can with his pal "smoochy the backhoe"

Assault Andy died during the production of the APP due to the game being so intense, he just couldn't handle it.

Matthew Wiese joined the church of Scientology, and was never heard from again.

Smirnoff popped a blood vessel due to an unfortunate jungle gym accident, and is slowly recovering.

OMC is very jolly

Jon Lambert quit everything and became a monk devoted to the ongoing pursuit of the search for big time savings.

And as for me, well, I still hang around every once and a while, remembering all that was and all that is.

The end?

Besides being funny, this post is kinda sad.
I wish more people finished their MMF2 games.
(I know I don't)

It is very sad, and this was a fantastic project, just everyone was dedicated at different times.

Yea, I'm thinking failure tends to be because of time constraints more than disagreement.

I'd still like to see this move forward somehow.

Why do you think I put a ? after the end?

It was doomed from the off IMO, with all due respect. Getting random people together on the internet, especially a large number, to work on the project would not be practical. Too much talk, and little action, after the initial burst of inspiration, albeit with good intentions.

Oh yeah... Perhaps we were too ambitious.

Hey now, I made some beautifully animated sprites, some of the best work I've ever done, I even cut the scope of the project down to something very do-able (The initial design was great but a bit too chaotic for a group like this to handle). But then I had paying jobs I had to take care of. Jon was putting together a fantastic engine, but of course, without a dedicated artist (that wasn't a concept artist) can't really do much.

You can talk about some of the other people being all talk, but don't lump me in with them.

I still think it's doable.

That's because you're very jolly.

Shame but as Circy says, a project of this size with random people is really hard to organise and pull off.

Hoping it can be resurrected

Then it's agreed. Tonight we kill superman.
 
Posted by Hagar 12th June, 2011

Why Superman? He pwns the others super heroes and he has a gnarly beard!
 
Posted by HorrendousGames 12th June, 2011

Superman most certainly has no beard, unless it's a lower beard.
