TriBlox

Just in case anyone wondered/cared, tonight we set the fate of TB in stone.

I talked to KP and we're officially done with TriBlox. KP says his heart really isn't in it anymore - he's focusing on other things in life. It wasn't an ugly breakup, we just weighed our options and decided that it would be best if we just went our separate ways.

KP is going to keep TriBlox online; although I'd rather he take it down to avoid any confusion, he pays for the site and can do what he pleases.

What is to become of Olympus? This is where it gets kind of... difficult. We've had some internal discussions about this, and we sort of want to branch out - away from the realm of fan games. Sin, KWDZero and myself (I haven't talked to Sparkie yet, we haven't been online at the same time in a bit - sorry Sparks ):) are in the early stages of drafting our own IP. We can't say much now, because we don't know much now. All we know is that at the end of the day, we still want to make a game. That's all we've really wanted to do from the beginning really, but the stress of deadlines and sticking to an established (and degrading, IMO) universe really made it more of a chore in its final days. The passion we all had turned into more of an obligation - honestly, the spark just went out.

So where are we now? We've got a setting, some plot elements and several dozen concept pieces. It's not much, but it brought the joy back to the process - the conceptual stage. We're doing what we want now. We'll still need to find a couple coders, but we're focusing on getting the game planned out fully before we worry about that.

As for my sprites - they're yours now. Within the next month, I'll find time to post all my stuff here. Hopefully some of you guys will find good use for them. I'd like to - one day - come back to them and work on a solo project with them. I wanna see them used for their intended purpose.

If any of you have any questions, feel free to ask. I get to detach myself from my 'developer douchebag' persona, so I'll answer whatever questions you've got about what we're working on now. We're back where we started - a couple of college kids that wanna make a game. When we have something to show, you'll be the first to know.

I'll be around.

Sad to hear, but the place was slowly dieing, I'm really sad to see Olympus go though. Good luck on the new IP, keep us informed. ;)

And thanks for the moderating opportunity, it was a blast, I loved the time I spent on there. I will miss it.

Man, this is nuts, I just hope the community holds together through all this.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to try my hand at level design in OWaW no matter how limited it was and hope to one day get the opportunity to help the development of this future project.

The fact that this community has stuck together this long shows that it's not going anywhere. HaloSprites, BZP, Tri - we've always stuck together in some vessel.

MY BABY ;__;

Nah, just kidding. I had a feeling this could happen, especially after the latest update on Triblox.org. Didn't want to believe it though. Good news is, you guys will be using the experience you gained on the project to make something that is truly your own, which could even earn you a living if that ever became your desire. That kind of creativity is something I truly envy. I'll most definitely be looking forward to this new IP, especially after all of the incredible things you've done with OWaW and later Olympus. If you ever need any help, testing or otherwise, just give me a ring (well, email).

It's sad to see the death of not only the game itself, but Triblox as well. We made it what it is today together, although I think you and KP did a lot more work on that front than I ever did. It's been so long since this whole thing started, first on BZP, then to HaloSprites, and then TB.org...and now back here again. I've met a lot of really good friends through this whole ordeal, and it's sad to see all of this meet such a fate. I suppose it's really for the best though.

As founder of Triblox.org and the OWaW Team, it's rather disheartening to learn of this now, this late at night, but I ended up leaving that venture a long time ago. Now part of me really wishes I didn't. I've been an outsider from the team, and in some aspects, the community for quite some time. I've never been able to make, or even start something even nearly as special, whether I consider Triblox or what became Olympus, since. Another part of me questions if I ever will. Whatever happens, I'm glad we did what we did. And with that, I wish you the best of luck.

Godspeed, Appo.

That was deep Voho. Thanks you guys, I can say I didn't enjoy writing this at all - I felt like I was only dishing out a big helping of sadness and disappointment. It's good to hear that kind of response to something like this.

We'll definitely be reusing a lot of our custom content from Olympus in this game - Thrashers, Brute Assassins, the Shredder, the Defiler, ect. If anything, this is more of an evolution than a rehash. It's what we would do if Olympus was truly our own.

I plan on sticking around at least long enough to be considered an old fag.
Just you guys know, you are forever going to be the OWaW team in my eyes.
