EGS Project on hold

[essen]

I'm putting the EGS project on hold until further notice. I do not think development will resume, though.

I initially did this project to be able to learn Erlang, and it worked great for that. I'm now pretty well known in the Erlang world and many doors have been opened to me, and of course I'm not refusing any chance there. Which also mean that I don't have time anymore. When I'm not busy working I'm busy being tired. My interest in this is also pretty low now as I have many more interesting projects I would like to pursue. Finally, SEGA really did a mess designing that game and it brings a lot of frustration, which only one man can handle at this point. He's still making you great stuff for offline mode. So I'm leaving things as they are with no plans to continue the server's development.

The only thing that could make this project resume is getting complete specifications for the game from SEGA, which will never happen. Even now it would still be quicker to make my own game than to implement this server.

essen's team never finishes a project. You have been warned.

Thanks again for your continuous support. You may now say "Told ya" to anyone willing to hear it.

Told ya

This isn't too surprising. There is a tremendous amount of work to do and too few people who can understand it enough and are willing to do it. In fact I can only count 2 people who were mostly involved and maybe a handful of others who were on the fringe. It's all been fantastic work, but unlike PSO I just don't think there's even that much demand for a PSU private server software.

For those of you who found this, there is an offline expansion project which is bringing a lot of the online content to offline mode here. This has a good chance of being the only PSU project in existence.

It's a shame, it would have been a chance to fix PSU and bring out the potential that Sega fucked up on multiple occasions. But, really, PSO2 shits all over PSU from a great height (and PSO2 should only get better from here), so my serious interest in PSU had waned anyway.

There's always the offline project, Agra knows he has my support for that.
