Two Years Later: An Insider's Perspective on the RA3 Debacle

[kill343gs]

They made it fairly clear from the beginning that they knew we existed and were taking things we had been talking about for years and attempted to make them a reality. It was clear to me when I finally got my hands on it that they had a lot of ideas going, but nothing was ever really finished.

My biggest takeaway from the whole thing is that I just wish they really reached out to us proper. We could have helped more from the beginning. There are so many talented and knowledgeable people around here, not to mention how many old faces the project brought out of the woodwork at the time of release. We could have crowdfunded the thing. There's so many things that could have happened differently that could have made this thing a success.

I don't hold anything against them. They were a young, small development team working on a fairly niche product and simply ran out of time and money. Business is business.

Well yea, it's the company that made, "Dr. Rottenbones & The Factory of Flab"

Cleaned the thread a bit since the recent responses aren't quite related to Octopus Tree or RA3.
