Exactly which characters were dropped? I hope they kept Rogue and Amy!
Blaze and Cream have been put on hold. I think they are updating Blaze's combat abilities, but nothing else.

Actually they're completly updating Blaze , Her sprite, moves, and animations up to stage three. As far as we know we were supposed to be getting 4.6 around this time. But now we're being teased with even more stuff. so who knows?

Wait, so...

They're adding a new world already even though many, many characters are still incompatible with the enemies in the 4th world?
Adding more stuff and never finishing what you started is the way westerners do things.

Welp. Looks like Project X is going to be on hold indefinately after the upcoming update.

"Pen and me had a difference in the content of this new upcoming release due a bug and an engine limitation that we was unable to resolve with words, I made a decission that she didnt aprove and she decided to leave the team. I worked along with her many years and it was a hard hit for me, and I have to recognice that it makes me fall into some kind of depression, she was my friend, not just a simple team member and I didnt expected this kind of action from her side, and much less for one silly thing that Im not going to enter in details. Anyways, without Pen in the Team, and Icelink that he was able to find a job in Nintendo (Im very happy for you Dustin) making him unable to continue too, Neokat working on his own game, and poor Aagie burned with the edits of Blaze, I cant continue for now making the game, also, due the Lets play video on the YouTube channel of the Sonic Show, a wave of haters are starting to bother me, I know I dont should pay attention, but is starting to lower my morale.
The next release are being tested, we found some bugs and some stuff to be added that I forggot, the release was gonna be made the April 1st and try to fool you guys to make all of you think it was a joke release when it was a good one, but rigth now, I feel very sad and bad to work on it, I hope to eventually release it in a week or two, but the game will be on hold indefinitely after this release, this is not an April joke, Im so sorry. T_T"

Here's Pens side of the story if you want to read it yourself:


But for those of you that can't be bothered, here's her full statement on the matter:

"What really happened was more than a misunderstanding that I initially believed, and more of a bitch move of my part.

I had a debate with Zeta about a feature, and I got selfish and acted like a spoiled child, and I wanted to have my way at all costs. Zeta always try to make what I want, but this time, I guess the fact of NOT getting what I wanted made me into a bitch.

Lately I am having anger issues with several people around me, included my brother and mother. I am in full bitch mode. So, to avoid to enter in a full blow war with her, I blocked her from Skype, and more or less acted like I was throwing everything to the air doing that, because, like I said, full bitch mode activated.

So, I didn't knew this would hurt her deeply. You guys may don't know, but me and her are like sisters, we love each other ALOT. I can't imagine my life without her, and she probably thinks the same as well, so when I do things like that, I can imagine that Zeta would feels a lot depressed with me being a bitch with her, a person who does everything for me.

So, all that PM's calling me a bitch, yes, you guys are probably right. I did hurt her with my attitude, like I am hurting all my family recently, and I don't know why I am being like that.

If the project will continue, who knows, probably will, I hope, but the fact I am the main catalystic of this is certain. I am being a bitch nowadays, and I am really regretting this attitude.

That's all."

It's looking likely to be true that PX won't be continuing anytime soon, and I feel so badly for Zeta and Pen because I know the loss of a really good friend, especially one that helped you make a game such as this in such a caliber, can make you feel awful when trying to work on it yourself, not to mention the alleged Sonic Show fiasco...

However, one tiny spot in my brain is telling me it's a bit too convenient that this should happen so close to the first of the fourth month...and that Zeta has been known in the past to pull off Fool's jokes on her updates page, just not on this magnitude.

I personally say I'll wait and see how this develops. It could very well be true and I'm just being paranoid, or it may just be an April Fool's joke rearing it's ugly head. We won't know for sure until after tomorrow.

There's an unspoken law when making prank statements that are untrue in some way, shape, or form: you can't actually say the words, "this is not a joke".

I don't think it was a joke.

However, Pen's post seems extraordinarily apologetic, as if she intends to make up, so I don't think all's lost yet.

Give it some time.

I have been following close to the development side of this project. (I follow so closely, I know that even some Nintendo of America employees just aren't friends....)

The PX Team are close like family. It is especially apparent, as, while quiet as he is to fans, he really is nice to Zeta and enjoys her company and collaboration.

They have faced a lot of adversity for the past year though.

1.) They had a slight lapse in promised release time once, and the fans got a little rowdy at one point.

2.) A fake settlement from "SEGA" fiercely scared the team until they found ways to step on less toes.

3.) The Sonic Show, a lousy Youtube Community ran by kids and manchildren publically made fun of PX and called it "bad" just on the grounds of it's furry porn. Zeta at the time lost a lot of graps on the English Language and watched it herself. Zeta is sensitive enough to be deeply affected by it.

4.) This recent coming of events.

The PX Team has had as much chaos as any other fan project had that quit within moments these things happened, yet PX still soldiered through everything.

I doubt the Pen x Zeta problem is a sustained setback at any level. The two are besties.

To sum up what I read so far: drama, drama aaand more drama.
Expect a lot of this in the furry community (unfortunately). As they say, if I got a penny each time drama happens in furrydom, I'd be rich.

It's a fringe interest; generally people within niche communities are significantly more likely to be volatile, depressive, have mood disorders, social ineptitude, etc, as they live on the fringe of society (at least within the context of their interest).

Fringe sexual interests are fringe indeed, as not only does sexuality apply to 100% of individuals, but it's charged with religious zealotry and political "righteousness" and so forth.

I think this is why people actively involved in things like BDSM communities are often found to have *better* mental health than the norm. Actually getting to express your sexuality fully has to be a relief for the individual. Better that than having to either forget them or censure oneself.

Societally we need to actually look at what's actually causing harm, rather than what's merely offending sensibilities.

Yeah. The ones who are active in the community are the ones who have wrestled with those conflicting ideas (their preferences vs majority's preferences) and come out better people because of it. They want to make it easier for others to push through the bullshit and be who they want to be.

WOW, PEOPLE WHO ARE ALLOWED TO FULLY REALIZE THEIR SEXUAL AND MENTAL IDENTITIES ALMOST ALWAYS END UP BEING PRODUCTIVE AND ACTIVE INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND AT WORST BECOME INTERESTING PEOPLE WITH PASSIONATE BELIEFS? IMAGINE THAT.

yea but i dun wan no QUEERS to be goin ter schkool wit my chillen's. that aint Gods way, no sir. says so in tha bible

I love this game to death but lets be honest. It's always been a question of when and not if. RIP Project X.

Not really no. People just have no freaking idea how hard it is to make a game, especially with such a large scope.
Why do you think 80% of the games we get are RPG maker with CGs? Because they're incredibly easy to make.
So keeping in mind they're doing this in their spare time and that every build they have delivered were top quality, I'd say they're doing pretty fucking well.
