Jeff Minter og Peter Molyneux kunne igår meddele at deres fælles projekt Unity er blevet droppet.
Jeff Minter som flere gange har overrasket og imponeret gamers og udviklere over hele verden, med spil som Tempest og attack of the mutant Camel, har i to år arbejdet tæt sammen med Peter Molyneux's udviklings studio, Lionhead.
Den officielle pressemeddelelse lyder således:
Unity was always an ambitious and experimental project, and as is the case with such endeavours they do not always come to fruition. Both Lionhead and Jeff are disappointed that it has been necessary to take this step, but a shared commitment to excellence and originality meant both sides agree that the cancellation of the project was in everyone's best interests.
Ydermere havde Minter følgende at sige om sagen:
Everyone at Lionhead has been incredibly supportive and the decision to stop working on Unity has been a difficult one for us. But being realistic, I felt it was better for everyone concerned that we cease work on Unity. I'd like to thank Lionhead for all their help and support over the past two years
Meget lidt vides reelt om Unitys gameplay, men kender man de involverede parter, så vil man også vide at det ville have været spektakulært og super ambitiøst...men det blev åbenbart lidt for ambitiøst.
Det er super ærgeligt at når to så kreative kræfter som Molyneux og
Minter slår pjalterne sammen, at det så slår fejl, men man kan jo ikke vinde hver gang.
