I think everyone is trying to figure out how to make money and keep things going rather than pouring effort and resources into JGE. JGE doesn't have a "soul" so to speak, and the creative process to figure out what the game's unifying theme is doesn't take the heavy lifters and the front facing media team.
The core development team that has been working on the jumpgate games are still working on the project, but it is in such a state that the secondary teams are all on other projects doing other things as of right now.
JGE may still see the light of day, and if it does the project time line has probably been redrawn to hit a launch date around the holiday season of 2010. It is best for everyone who stands to make money on JGE to let the press, media and communities do their own thing until they are actually on a release push"
i applaud net devil for taking there time and making sure the game is right, only if so many recent releases had done the same they would not be as many fails about
Yeah, damned if they do and damned if they don't.
They bitch moan a MMO didn't cook long enough, then they bitch and moan cause it's taking too long.
Sounds like my 7 year old.
What's the matter, gettign tired of the same old porn?
Get outside and do something, makes time go quicker rather than hitting forums and trolling about Doom and Gloom.
They have released some info and re-tooled some staff.
Why don't we wait and see....
If a MMO takes several years to make, so what? Are you dying soon? And if you are, I would be doing more with my remaining time than waiting to play a game. :P
I think, if I ever do an MMO, I will avoid the word gate in the name - Jumpgate, Stargate, Hellgate - the word in a name is cursed.
I would love to play JE, I would love them to get it done and get it done right. But beyond delays the massive timeframes that pass with no comments and missed announced deadlines indicates more than taking time to get it right. I hope they get it squared away, but it doesn't look good to date.
Comments
I'm going to pour some gasoline onto this thread. Noticed JE thread on SA forums. One post catched my attention:
"
This is what most of the team is now working on.
