GamersGoMakers
A CALL TO AN OFFICIAL END.
Plans in place such as releasing for free, a GGM 1.5 version complete overhaul to previous owners of GGM, whilst making the game as it stands as a freebie 'Beta Demo' AND starting production on proper patches with two planned and separate affordable FULL fledged expansion packs (No stupid 'horse armor' BS!) , all the while working towards a sequel to take the business simulation game to the next level; is all officially kaput at this time.
While I take on the challenge of restructuring my plan and diverting resources in order to bring fourth in-house products of my own Studio, I can't rightly speak for the Developer for GamersGoMakers as an admin anymore as it would be a conflict of interest and not fair to Marco in whatever direction he decides to take. We are still friends and things have ended amicably.
I wish him all the best on his own.
We tried our best to get this off the ground again, but sad to say, my group's involvement in GGM is non-existent at this point, indefinitely. As a gamer and businessman, my company and resources will not be assisting with this project anymore.
To avoid a conflict of interest, all I can say is keep your eyes peeled for some top notch simulation games soon to come!
It's been a pleasure to meet and to know many of you and try to help as an admin as best as I can. Thank you so much! And to Marco for allowing me to come in and try to handle things that were proving difficult at the time.
And as always, don’t hesitate to add me as a Friend in order to ask personal questions. I’ll do my best to answer fully and honestly as usual, however my involvement with GGM is no longer in place. Cheers Mates! (And Lasses!)
Sadly and Sincerely,
Harken XXI
