As far as I know, the football game was shelved because the programmer dropped out, but I may be wrong.

Re: [Audyssey] what's going on with bsc?
Hi Mike and Bryan, I've personally been in contact with Justin off and on over the past year or so, and I know his daytime job has been working him pretty hard. Frankly, Justin has had little time to work directly on BSC stuff. So keep that in mind before putting BSC down. Second, games are really nothing more than ideas and design documents until they have been programmed. However, programming that idea into a good game can be difficult, and things can and will go wrong. Sometimes the game should be canceled for one of several reasons. In Justin's case with Castle Quest there was good reason to cancel. Justin had a great idea, but didnt have the time or skills to design it himself. So he outsourced it to another dev who worked on it for a while, and dropped out. Since the other developer was the licensed holder of the source and quit Justin couldn't get the source code. To start over would allow Justin to begin the project from scratch, and have to learn all the things he didn't know, at the same time keep a heavy workload during his daytime job, and still have a family life. He couldn't do it, and so CQ bit the dust. I am suspecting work and family is the reason Void and BSC Football were canceled as well.

Yeah I agree, I'm ready for a developer that won't scrap a game after putting on a bunch of hipe about it.

Re: [Audyssey] what's going on with bsc?
Castle Quest is no more. I believe that something happened with the team or something. I do not know the details, and have not been keeping up with Bsc.

Re: [Audyssey] what's going on with bsc?
The basic jist of it is that BSC got into a disagreement with the folks they were working with on the game. Apparently at issue was who was going to license the game when it came out, or who would market it or something or other. I don't remember exactly but Justin scrapped the idea and we've heard nothing about any new titles since. Granted he did say they were working on a new title after CQ was scrapped, but the name of the game and even a brief, general psynopsis were not forthcoming. All that was nearly two years ago. I'm sorry to say this but I've rather lost interest in BSC since that whole incident, since it wasn't the first time a title had been scrapped. First it was BSC football, which actually stood a chance of getting me interested in the sport, then CQ and, on top of that, The Void was also scrapped, and at the same time as CQ. Of course The Void sounded to me like a modified Troopanum, so I don't know how interested I'd have been if it had come out. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. >From: "Andy Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Gamers Discussion list >To: gamers@audyssey.org >Subject: [Audyssey] what's going on with bsc? >Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2007 17:39:39 -0400 > >Hi, >I heard about that castle quest.

Re: [Audyssey] what's going on with bsc?
Hi Andy, About a year back Justin announced to this list that Castle Quest had to be canceled. The short version of what he said was he was using an outside developer to do the work on CQ, that other dev quit, and then refused to let go of the source code. Since Justin's duties at work have increased and the game was a large project it was scrapped. Andy Smith wrote: > Hi, > I heard about that castle quest. Well... What happened to it!
