Never heard of it, watched a trailer from 6 years ago. The game looked mostly finished! 6 years of development from that trailer should have been GTA 5 level! TF were they doing during 6 years?!

Changing scopes, remaking the entire fucking game in other engine, etc. Burning money basically

This is where it’s at. Fully accurate Minecraft clone on an open source engine and server? Yes please!

Another ambitious project killed by scope creep and lack of direction, expected

Well this sucks

Damn I remember being really excited when it was announced. I guess like everyone else has already said that scope creep will get you :(

this game sounds like another minecraft clone with RPG elements. why would it take 10 years just to get cancelled? what was so special that they couldn't compromise on?
