Copied from the Silk Games forums:
Many of you have probably assumed that this site is dead. Based upon the past couple years and the complete lack of new games, that's a pretty safe assumption. That said; things may start to turn around very quickly.
I let it be known awhile back that I had "sold" part of the rights to Acheron's Awakening. While the details of what that means won't be out in the open anytime soon, I can say that it has everything to do with the television pilot that I wrote and produced last October.

And there you have it. Welcome to the past several months of my life. Based upon what we have going on behind the scenes, I'm confident that this television show is going to be picked up. If that happens, then I'll no longer be making BYOND games. I'll be professionally producing independent online games that don't require BYOND to play... the first of which will be Acheron's Awakening.
The people in this small community alone have the power to get the word about this show out there in a huge way. If you like what you see, then spread the word all over the internet, to your friends at school, to your family etc.
If the show doesn't work, then I will release Acheron's Awakening for BYOND and we'll carry on with our lives!
I'll be happy to explain anything if you have questions. Today is going to be a busy day for me... but an exciting one.

I knew it.

Hahah! Awesome! I'm putting that trailer on digg right now.
| |
Oh, sweet. Wish I could watch the trailers and whatnot, but alas I have the dialupers again.

Question :
Is that background music an extreme-remix of a Megaman/X song? I swear it begins to sound like MMX1 when that video reaches 25-24 seconds left. | |
Q.) Wouldn't it be really fun and fresh if you spelled the name of the show with a "z", as "Gamerz"?A.) No. GTFO. I love that. Also, I love that it's not a sitcom. It can totally ruin a show like that. | |
Great stuff, I lmao. but, I regress. It seems to me like you're putting your nose up to BYOND, and I'm hurt. I mean, how long have you been wasting your time with us, and you're just throwing it away. Don't get me wrong, I wish the best for you, and anyone on BYOND trying to make the big time, and anyone getting attention would be badass, because I could have a day at the water cooler talking about actually being in the same close-knit community as the guy who made that show. But you could at least give BYOND some props and such.
| |
If this show gets picked up, I'm all for giving props to BYOND. Unless some major changes are made, however, I won't feel compelled to stick around. I've been pretty vocal about my opinions of this site, so hopefully you have an idea of what I'm talking about.
I would love to feature BYOND in an episode of the show if this thing becomes real. | |
Well, I gave it the Digg thingy for both of the things on Digg.com, so I'll be waiting to see it on G4, or Maybe even Adult Swim.
| |
ROFLCOPTER!
:) | |
It has been dugg, looks intresting I'll have to agree that it could end up on G4 or Adult Swim. More than likely G4.
| |
Is Edwin the weird creepy guy from Slackers? He looks like a carbon copy of him if not.
| |
Edwin = Me
| |
I digg it. And yes, you MUST plug BYOND in if this ever catches on. =]
