Alky has come to an end

[t3h m00kz]

Taken from their Google Group, http://groups.google.com/group/alkyproject-announce?hl=en:

After long and careful consideration, I have decided to move on from
Falling Leaf Systems and am announcing my resignation effective
immediately. Cody Brocious will be taking the helm and will be
working diligently toward bringing Alky for Gaming to fruition. I have
personally become too busy with other endeavors to provide the
adequate time a position such as this demands.

Before I go, allow me to give you all an update. Regrettably, Falling
Leaf Systems is no longer working on the Halo 2/Shadowrun version of
Alky, as time and resource constraints didn't warrant its completion
in a reasonable timeframe, and other options have surfaced making a
release at this stage somewhat meaningless. Alky for Applications
will continue on, and you can expect an update from Rafael on that
front very soon.

Thank you all for your support over the past months. It has been a
fun, albeit short ride.

Sincerely,

Brian Thomason

[Phopojijo]

Like I've been saying all along...

He had enough money from donations and jumped.

[Con]

:\ Hmm, I never thought of it that way...

[Phopojijo]

:\ Hmm, I never thought of it that way...I did.

Since the first time I looked them up.

[randreach454]

I felt the same way from the beginning phopo..

Bastards :-\

[jahrain]

Damn well there goes my last shred of hope on H2 PC online multiplayer having a successful future.

The funny thing is, after the XP patches, halo 2 has been one of the top played PC games next to world of warcraft and halo 1.

[AoDC]

I think he could have at least released what he had been completed so far... which should have been something.

[randreach454]

we never saw any proof alky was real for games, so it just screams "I took all ya's moneyzz bitches"

[Lateksi]

Just. Sad. Like everything this month.

*Drinks Pepsicola* PPFFFFT!! What did you just say?

[Phopojijo]

Lets say alky killed a hooker and MS has pictures...(THIS IS BULLSHIT)Or more probable:

They upped and f'cked you all who donated.

[Bodzilla]

wow.

i'm gutted absolutely gutted.
looks like i'll never get to play halo 2 now.

i'll be dammed if i have to stoop to a console to play it.

[Patrickssj6]

Great...now I have to buy Vista after all. I guess Microsoft won.

In return I'm going to crack/hack everything this game has to offer :p

[StankBacon]

ahahaha i told you all this was bs.

[Rosco]

ahahaha i told you all this was bs.

you know someone will figure out how to get live working, seeing as GoW will have windows live, and it works on XP and Vista.

[343guiltymc]

There is always a chance that, if you play it on XP, there will be no multiplayer. :eek:

[Vicky]

Live already does work on xp, just can't join parties :(

[Terry]

I knew it was just vapourware from the very beginning.

[Pooky]

ahahaha i told you all this was bs.

Weren't you one of the people who went around telling everyone Halo 2 on XP was impossible? Don't you try and tell people almost anything is 'impossible' because it makes you sound smart?

[Vicky]

I knew it was just vapourware from the very beginning.

Vapourware... LOL :lol:

[StankBacon]

Weren't you one of the people who went around telling everyone Halo 2 on XP was impossible?

i said that this company isnt going to make anything, and all the people who were holding off getting vista just for this were suckers.




Don't you try and tell people almost anything is 'impossible' because it makes you sound smart?

what?

that makes no sense at all.

[Con]

Yeah, bacon is a smart guy because he says everything is impossible. Right.

[Vicky]

Looks like they released part of or all of their source code, maybe something usefull can be done with it? (not me, i got my own project to work on)

[Abdurahman]

Nice bump.

[CodeBrain]

Yet it had to do with the topic, so it's ok to bump.

l2readrules

:downs:

[Con]

Wait, they released source? I thought it was just some scam to get our moneys..

[jahrain]

Wait, they released source? I thought it was just some scam to get our moneys..

Well if they failed at anything it was that. They only received a small hand full of donations.

[Abdurahman]

I wasn't being sarcastic when i said nice bump.

[Syuusuke]

Ok then....what then?



Source code...donde? I found the place where they said "all your source code are belong here" (not exactly like that) but couldn't find anything else.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

hmmm (waits for a 1337 person to get working) :O
Though the chances of getting are about as likely as monkeys flying out of my ass, then levitating across the room, pulling out mini-guns, blasting the flying pigs out of the sky, imploding into black holes that then suck each other in creating a super-massive portal that allows the aliens a stable transport from the fourth and sixth dimensions to come to rescue superman from kryptonite.

[StankBacon]

They only received a small hand full of donations.

and you know this how?

[stankpot]

he hacks thats why.

[Phopojijo]

Wait, they released source? I thought it was just some scam to get our moneys..The source they got was from Alky -- which joined Falling Leaf a while ago. They probably had source before they joined Falling Leaf... doesn't mean they did any work on it for a long time.

what is this?

[Vicky]

The source code (or part of it) for alky, what should have made Halo 2 run on XP. I think it's in python.

[supersniper]

So is anyone going to figure it out and see if it will work on LIVE for xp??

[randreach454]

doubt it.
Most likely still needs a lot of work and talent to finish, since they never showed any proof or anything saying it somewhat worked.

[Vicky]

Well i've read they had a lot of vista apps running on XP (some flawless some with some bugs) and they had a preview package to check it out yourself, i've got it somewhere but never checked it out. It will take some effort to alter the wowloader i guess but with the right minds and hands it may very well be possible to get it to work.

[supersniper]

Just think whoever does it will be famous throughout the Halo community on the PC. Also Halo 2 vista will become more popular then it will be supported again and majorly improved. [/dream]

[n00b1n8R]

what the fuck is alky?

[Vicky]

http://www.fallingleafsystems.com/

It was supposed to run vista apps/games on xp. You can read their blogs.

[Con]

what the fuck is alky?
ugh, where have you been :confused2:

[Kornman00]

trying to post whore in OT, where have you been :confused2:

[n00b1n8R]

ugh, where have you been :confused2:
not caring about vista?

E: take your lies and choke on them KM :saddowns:

[Limited]

There goes my last reason to buy Vista. Adios!

[ODX]

There goes my last reason to buy Vista. Adios!
Well, I still have one reason. Crysis on DX10, but that's about it.
