Day of the Beast Cancelled { Pie-rat }
As you can see, our news is catching up. A day or two of downtime can do that for you. ;)Those guys over at Horsepants send us this sad news:
Due to repeated problems with development, the current Horsepants project, "The Day of the Beast" has been cancelled.Check out the Horspants website here.The project encountered numerous problems in development which were causing the Myth II engine to either crash or loose synchronization with other network players. These problems were a direct opposition to our goal with this project: to create large armies, huge explosions, and giant units. Without these traits, the plug-in was not, in our minds, innovative enough to warrant further development. Therefore this project has been shelved indefinitely.
Although it is unlikely that this project will ever be completed, it is possible that, if enough interest is shown, a plug-in adding only the "Ultima" (beast) unit to the Myth II tags is possible.
Horsepants has, however, been working on another project since before the development of the beast. This project, a total conversion, is currently only in the conceptual stages. However, with the cancellation of "Day of the Beast", we have decided to begin development. We are sure this will please the Myth community even more than "the Beast" would have. However, to prevent confusion, we make no comment about the specifics of this plug-in. Information regarding it will be available "Soon?"
