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

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?
