I didn't know where to put this. I wanted to send Josh a mail to pour my heart out, but I feel like that is way too intrusive on my part to do so. I still, however, hope he reads this.
Your dream inspired a lot of people and I was one of them. I looked at the funds that star citizen had, but I still believed that limit theory would be a better game. I still do. To be honest probably one of the most amazing space game at the time of release.
You dragged me into your idea (well, you and all this wonderful community), and I have been one of the lurkers who has been following the project since just after the Kickstarter ended. For the last 4 years, I've been the kind to check on the forums every few weeks to find an update. And every time one of those posts appeared I would be delighted to read through all of it. And enjoy the baby steps to the giant leaps that we've seen throughout the years. I was there worried when we heard about your burnout. I was here cheering when the progress train was back (I had to do a reference to the train thread
).
But today, I am sad, I've been crying for the last 20 minutes since I've read that thread. I really had that game to heart and I do NOT want to forget about it. The one thing I want to do is to get the code that you are planning on releasing and spending most of my free time on it. I want that game to exist. Maybe not exactly in the way that Josh imagined it but I still want it to be there.
I don't know how many feel the way that I do, and possibly people are way more qualified than I am with game developing (I have learned lots about programming alone and have done my fair share of little things on unity/UE4).
From what I read, most of the engine is done and mostly content has to be implemented? I'd like to think it's possible to pick up from where Josh was and try to push it forward. I want to form a Rebellion/Alliance against the stop of Limit Theory. Have a band of merry programmers that could pick it up and try and make this go one step further.
I'll try to get more active and see if something can get going.
[edit] It seems like I'm far from being the only one in the LT rebellion! I can't wait to see what happens when the source code appears! [\edit]
Josh, Thank you. Thank you for your perseverance, thank you for going as far as you went. Just thank you.
