Yes folks, it's true. Zerotau has abandoned his three(?) year project Mina Of The Pirates. Ok, so he's started work on a new game called Noitu Love and the Army of Grinning Darns, but... poor Mina.
Not really a lost, Since it's fun to trust on yourself instead of others, All of you can always make a better and nicer game than that... Since when we compete for what's good or not?
Rikus, please take these star system off, and put a sort of another system, dependable on member's atitude in creation... More multidimensional... Since I can't code it alone here, you see... I'm a miserable person who can't get into your system and hack it, I don't know coding too...
Anyway, You can all sure make another project, what makes you feel so disbelief? Regard your untrusty pal, Nastyman... We got our hand to belive that we can't do it, just because he's a dragon and wer'e not... Heh, My fav tunes are the best if I don't belive to the dragon who claims that his flame is by the car that he own...
Sucker, It was the flame who gets you that car... As the author gets high again, he can finish this game in a bing!

I seriously doubt you know what your talking about. Considering you said you suck at programming; however, that should be proof that not everyone can make a good game. Like others this was one of the only click games Ive been waiting to play. It would be nice if Zerotau released the game anyways for the people who wanted to play the game. :/
If I remember correctly Faind doesn't really work on games anymore. They are more of the 'Legend', well that is from all you ass kissers that wish you could be them.
They haven't touched some of their projects in months and months.
Liquixcat: You're both wrong and right. We are always working on games, but some projects don't get done because we lose interest in them, like Mina or Skyhammer.
How can you guys be sure you'll never regain any interest in the games?
I know i always go through rather dry spells whilst making my games. Sometimes it's a matter of months before i pick them up again.
But to announce total cancellation will only give you more reason to not pick it up again.
This looked to be the Godliest of the Godly Games of Freeness... The last update stated that it was 90% complete... And now he says it's been cancelled for something with a really bizarre name? And the site vanishes too?
I say it's a hoax just to piss us all off... At least that's what I am hoping, for this has genuinely shattered me.
I fail to see the logic behind spending however many years on something then giving up at the end... Fair enough at the start or even half-way but that's just odd.
And to drop it for another project is even more bizarre.
It's perfectly understandable. When you've got an unfinished project from a year ago, you know you've advanced by a year and could be working on something that much better.
Or, whatever. It's his decision.
No, there will not be an abandonware. And I stopped working on the game because I couldn't bear with it anymore. Working on it was a pain and I had lost faith in the project, and this is my decision because I'm not appealing to a paying audience anyway, this is my hobby.
Even though I said 90% was done, it was still meant as the bulk of it. Even if I had exactly 90% it's still a damn lot to do. After that I still had a town to finish and prologue and like a hundred small things. It was a bad engine to work with, and the game turned out not to my liking.
I'm still very much in love with the game I'm doing now after having worked on it for a long time. I started disliking Mina early on. So this feels more right to me.
Although it's sad since the game looked good, I have to respect Zero's decision as it's what he wants to do. We can't force him to work on something he won't enjoy making it. I can't see your website at the moment but I'm sure the game looks awesome and cannot wait for it after seeing what you can do with Mina.
If I know ZeroTau, there's little chance of him giving it out as abandonware without some legal backup .
Anyways, I kinda expected something like this. Mina seemed pretty above average to me, like Commando.. another tiring game a person spends years on (or at least a couple of 5 hour shifts per month), only to realise that he doesn't understand the poorly commented code after a week. Another game that's probably collapsed under its own complexity. The next MMFs better do something to help us read our annoyingly long event lists more easily .
Oh, wait, the konjak guy said that already. I should read all the comments first . Another case of dumping the chick you've been with for years for the new chick you know nothing about .
