Clearing up some confusion!

I've had a number of people ask me what's happened to the site and to "Hypertension" since the last few blog posts, so I'll explain it as clearly as I possibly can.

Hypertension, which was the game up and running on this blog for the last few years, has been suspended and the original development team disbanded in September of last year. We made this decision due to the desire to work on an original IP, and over license disputes we couldn't resolve internally.

SCOURGE is the new game that eventually started as a project to replace those resources, but it was decided to completely start over. In doing so, the entire thing has been scrapped & redesigned fresh, meaning it no longer reflects relationship in any form to Hypertension.

A few months ago, I had started a side project to convert some of the maps and models from Hypertension over to Transfusion, which is a free and legal solution. Any progress for that will appear at the Transfusion forum thread that I started.

SCOURGE, meanwhile, is the new title that has been in active development since September of 2011. I understand that we are not making many public updates to that, but we are working hard on it, and expect to show off some progress very soon. This new game will also be Dreamcast compatible. I can't say too much, but it's going great and we're meeting many milestones. I simply can't wait to share media as soon as we feel we're ready to. It worked with the question-mark fountain in 2008, but...not so much these days! (unfortunately - those are fun to look at!)

Just keep your eyes peeled every now and then, but when we resurface with Scourge, it should do whatever Hypertension did a thousand times over.

Should. Stay tuned!
