Even if the legal dispute over Fri the 13th ownership is resolved, evolution of the game volition non resume.
Friday the 13th was genuinely quite a fleck of fun when it came out concluding year—with the right grouping of players, at least—and showed existent potential for time to come improvements, too. Sadly, publisher Gun Media has straight off confirmed that potential volition never move realized, every minute novel content evolution has been permanently ended."I wanted to address a few questions that I’ve had sent to me personally, every minute good every minute questions we’ve received through the official F13 channels. These questions vary but all convey a similar tone/request. 'Is in that place a jeopardy of whatever content beingness added to the game if a ruling on the dispute occurs inward the close future?'," Gun Media founder in addition to president Wes Keltner wrote on the Friday the 13th forums. "The respond is no."
"Development on games can’t only recess indefinitely in addition to alternative dorsum upward again; it doesn’t operate that way. Especially when yous convey no thought when that time to come engagement volition occur. We can’t buy the farm on edifice content that may never encounter the low-cal of day. That’s bad business."
The occupation arose from a legal dispute betwixt the creators of the master copy film, in addition to the ensuing inquiry of who genuinely owns it. I expressed promise at the fourth dimension that a resolution of the lawsuits powerfulness encounter evolution resumed, despite how long the legal battle has already dragged on, but it was a faint promise at best, in addition to this lawsuit genuinely isn't surprising.
Keltner added that it's also non possible to add together novel content, similar master copy locations or counselors, fifty-fifty if it's unrelated to Fri the 13th. "We can’t add together whatever content, whatsoever. Nada. Not fifty-fifty a novel tree or rock," he wrote. "We tin flame alone focus on console dedicated servers, põrnikas fixes, in addition to maintenance."
"I know this isn’t the word yous wanted to listen in addition to I want the province of affairs were different. But it’s the painful truth."
