Hi again, all -
Unfortunately in the last half-hour, I have been mulling this project over a bit, and I have come to the conclusion that I have made a terrible mistake in releasing this early on that ISO site, for both realistic and moralistic reasons.
Many of you already know me as an aspiring, young game developer, looking for a big job in the game designing industry when I am just that bit older.
But I just get the feeling sometimes that Nintendo employees are scanning this forum, and the ISO sites, on a weekly basis, looking for people not to hire/accept as trusted developers.
Which leads me on to say that Nintendo may probably never allow me to sign an agreement to (legally) use their tools one day, if they should ever find out about this.
Also, this is unlikely, but you're probably wondering now, "Voxel, if they already know about you, then just go under a new company name and move house where you will have a fresh IP address that's not on their servers". Sorry folks, but there's just one problem... Stick Magician has always been my main ambition and project to work on and turn into a hit public game over the years, and I couldn't bear to lose such a great idea for a good little indie game that is at risk, at most, of being an outlaw!
Anyway, morals aside, I am going to remove my thread and the link from that ISO site now, because of how I am feeling with the situation.
Those 7-8 people who have already obtained it either need to now keep it private, or delete it wherever it may be on their hard drives and SD cards. I know it's the Internet and I can't force you to delete it, but it would be really kind and appreciated for the project!
However, I will still be offering jobs for anyone who wants to help out with the project since now it will be back to full lockdown. But I'm not going to dish out job offers like sweets. In fact, I will only really need helpers when I am truly stuck for assets to use in my game since I make my own models and stuff anyway...
That is really all I wanted to say about the current status of the project. I apologise if it turned out to be a big shock to people, but I really do want the best for my game designing career!
- Voxel out.
