Development Info Coreplay Issues Statement in Response to bitComposer Interview

[dnf]

Corpse play should totally adopt Obsidian tatics. Release the fucking game, then blame the publishers for bugs and shit. But now they are just forgotten history. BTW, JarlFrank got fired?

 

[Jack Dandy]

Jarl was a part of Coreplay?

 

[Crooked Bee]

Jarl was a part of Coreplay?

He was contracted to write some quests iirc.

Probably some quests with wimmin warriors

 

[Metro]

Jarl wanted to be the next Brother None. He'll have to settle for roving reporter for RPG Codex.

 

[Mantic]

Mother of God.... that's terrible

 

[Monty]

So long Coreplay, sad to see you go.

Still seems such a waste that that part-completed game will now just rot away in legal limbo. I realise we don't really know how much had actually been completed, but I liked the look of the screenshots and what they'd discussed in terms of systems and gameplay.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

So let me get this straight HobGoblin42

You undoubtedly had all the best intentions, but you thought it was realistic to take the assets and work from a console diablo clone, and turn that into a full-fledged, polished, content-rich unofficial spiritual sequel to Temple of Elemental Evil in what, less than 10 months?

 

[MicoSelva]

Sad, sad news. This game had so much potential. Seeing all of it go to waste is devastating.

Realistically speaking, I will never run out of games to play, therefore I usually don't care when an announced game is cancelled. Big deal - one cancelled, 100 still in the making, 500 still in my backlog.

Not so with Chaos Chronicles. This game sounded like it was doing everything right and I was really looking forward to it. CC being buried permanently is as bad news for me as cancelling Firefly was back in the day. Fuck this shit.

 

[Darth Roxor]

GG

 

[JarlFrank]

Damnit.

 

[Gragt]

I told you it was a mistake to bring in JarlFrank.

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

Bad news indeed.

 

[JarlFrank]

I told you it was a mistake to bring in JarlFrank.

My quest would've been awesome. HobGoblin42 liked it.

 

[dnf]

I told you it was a mistake to bring in JarlFrank.

He was responsible for the negotiations with ShitComposer

Tell us more...

 

[Deitti]

this sucks. ohwell.

 

[cherry blossom]

Coreplay is shutting down, that's what we do.
But at least we tried to make a true cRPG.

What about the game engine for CC and the dev tools? or the tech demo? RELEASE THEM ALL!

 

[Jashiin]

No chance. It's all gone to waste.

Maybe this is another lame attempt to force the hand of the publisher cause a serious developer would never treat his work like this.

 

[Rake]

Maybe this is another lame attempt to force the hand of the publisher cause a serious developer would never treat his work like this.

And yet there are people who bash Obsidian for doing popamole games and say that they should refuse the "bad" contracts. And when Coreplay does exactly that(and goes out of buisness), they are unprofessional?

 

[Sitra Achara]

What happens with Coreplay staff now?

Is not only about one "bad" contract. It's about their work. I don't give a fuck about BitComposer but Coreplay should respect their own work.

After 2-3 years of development, they should have stick with BitComposer and release whatever they had done. Even in a unfinished state (yeah, yeah ... Obsidian)

At least then people could judge them based on something. But now, they burned all the bridges and lost everything just because ... the publisher is evil!?

Great. Coreplay will never develop something again. But they tried. They really tried. I mean *REALLY* tried ... meh. Fuck it.

BitComposer at least tried to negotiate the issue, while dem devs seemed like not wanting to negotiate anything that wasn't on their terms, so as a potential pirate ( ), i side with the publishers on this one.
