Bears Can't Drift - Ludophobia

[jetmanuk]

I'm sorry to see that I have pissed so many people off. When I started working on Bears Can't Drift it was supposed to be just for OUYA. When we first released Bears onto OUYA they reached out to me to develop the game further with the potential of it being funded by them. After developing the game further on their request they decided against funding it. As a last ditch attempt to get the funding I needed I launched a kickstarter, which as you know failed to get the funding needed. As a result the programmer I worked with had to get another job and no longer works with me. With no programmer I decided to try and make the game with Unreal Engine 4 as I have no coding knowledge but I can use Blueprint (Why I dropped Unity). At the time Unreal didn't support OUYA so I decided to make the game for the platforms that were available to me. The game has had a massive overhaul and even though OUYA is now supported, there is no way I could get the game to work in its new state. I'm sorry that some of you feel that I abandoned OUYA, but I did everything to try and get the funding that I needed to finish Bears. I have pulled the game from the store as some of you have requested.

For those of you who did donate, please reach out to me so I can give you keys for the game when its released. Even if you don't want the game anymore, you could always sell the keys or give it to a friend.

Thanks for clarifying the situation. Good luck with this and future projects.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the situation to the forum, I'm sorry your original project fell through and wishes you the best of luck with future endeavors.

People think developing a game is something you can snap your fingers and magically poof out of thin air. It's not. I can attest to that. Thank you for informing the community about the situation, and of course offering them the chance to acquire a free key to which they can do what they wish with.

I will be locking this thread at 12:00AM, Central Time . Everybody get their comment's in before I do.

The OUYA version of Bears Can't Drift is cancelled. This thread is now officially locked. If by chance it comes back then private message one of the Super Moderators.
