Bummer it's dead before it really got started, but at least its organs will live on to make another OBEY live.   :mrgreen:

That's a shame. Looked like it could have been really interesting, almost like a Metroid-y game from the look of it.

Well, the options are wait a long ass time and pay 30+$ for it, or, wait less, pay like, 3$ for it and play it!

As Grelox continues to develop, it became clearer that I had to make a decision one way or the other. Grelox is essentially what I wanted to do with Apothecary and it came to the point that I had to choose to take Apothecary and gut it completely to help in Grelox development - using existing maps, some of the art and pretty much the whole concept of the game. After Grelox, Apothecary would feel like a step backwards and I'd want to move on to something fresher. Also I'm too old to be waiting another 10 years to finish a game  :D


Yeah, I get it.

I want you to work on the projects that you are most interested in.

However, I humbly suggest that you consider abandoning everything but PCE projects. I'm sure you realize that this is the only sensible course of action.

Thank you.

as long it lives on in an even bigger and better game, that costs next to nothing, arrives faster than usual, and runs on any modern hardware, I can live with that :)

fixed, :)

Plus, I'm sure you'll appreciate the music more than anyone else here, Tatsujin.

OK, I'll make you all a deal. Anyone who can get a fully working prototype (including character movement, screen flipping, basic enemy patterns) in the next 6 months can have all the art and my full cooperation in completing the project.
