Report: Visions of the Impossible, the end.

Thursday, May 16, 2002 - 10:23 PM, (1810 Reads)

This just in from Nathan at VOTI - and it isn't pleasant.

The majority of RISC OS gamers know that VOTI have not done any development recently and many of you know that I have ceased all in-house software development due to personal differences with RISC OS' lead companies.

This is an official statement to inform you that VOTI is now officially closed and will not be developing software. The reasons for this are two-fold:

  • Owain (main programmer) now has a job with a software firm and like Paul Thomson he does not want to write software around the clock.
  • Owain and the rest of us feel that the market will not recover from it's current situation and our enthusiasm has gone due to the "head factions" in the RISC OS world.

What about our software? Our software will remain under the conditions of each respective program original documentation.

EMD and all other projects (bar one, see below) are cancelled and we will not be releasing the code to the public domain for the forseeable future.

As mentioned above there is still one project being worked on, the reason for this is that it is set for a commercial release so we are being paid. Like Krisalis software many years ago they left the market after releasing the brilliant Alone In The Dark, VOTI will leave with a bang. I cannot and will not mention any details about the project but it is big and if/when finished will show what a real game is like.

The VOTI site is now used for my own little hobby but has Java Foul Egg and a small amount of information relating to the RISC OS scene.

The remaining members are currently taking stock of the situation and may reappear under a different banner just to keep a group spirit.

Thanks to our supporters, we have had an enjoyable time over the years and made a good number of friends. It is time to close the VOTI era so once again thank you all from Owain, Nathan, Lee, Andrew and Gordon.

See you around.

Nathan - Former Team Leader of Visions Of The Impossible.
