Jeff Minter's Unity Cancelled

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 10, 2004 @08:31AM from the a-sad-day-for-ravers-everywhere dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This morning, Jeff Minter officially announced the end of development on his game "Unity", which was to be published by Lionhead Studios. The post included a press release which claimed that Minter "would not be able to finish Unity in an acceptable time frame". Minter is well known as the mad genius behind Llamasoft and creator of such games as Attack of the Mutant Camels, Llamatron, and Tempest 2000. Unity was to be an "abstract shooter" based on Minter's research into lightsynths and interactive graphic musical accompaniment. Did the fact that the GameCube is nearing the end of its lifecycle contribute to the cancellation of the game, or are trippy music/shooters (ala REZ) just too weird to attain mainstream success?"

I bought all 10 games. by vhold · 2004-12-10 09:25 · Score: 0, Troll

At first I read that as "buy all 10 games"

Which is basically what the gamecube is like. It's a nice system, but it has soooo few platform specific good games. It feels like a dead system because it has such big lulls between blockbusting games.
