Abandoned Community Projects

[xvertigox]

It's interesting and a bit sad to see the list of uncompleted CPs. You can add Infernew to that list. The project was killed by @bonnie's belligerence, narcissism and complete inability to lead or even act like a decent person.

Actually, Infernew is not dead. I'd been keeping a low profile on this, but I've taken the reins of the project and am (slowly) moving toward getting it finished. I suppose I should probably mention this on the official Infernew thread (which you've been kind enough to link).

I would not regard it as dead, but it is pretty obvious that ISOLATION became paralysed, despite the initial enthusiasm.

Another project that probably isn't dead but has been on silent mode (again) is TNT2: Devilution. I think it has been over a year since it was announced that there were only something like 3 maps left.

It is rumored it is being developed somewhere on the Io where the time goes much faster than on Earth and the project can be finished just in few hours of speedmapping but we have to wait all eternity to see its release on Earth

I feel like its development suffers from the perfect solution fallacy, sadly. Also, there is this obscure project named Doom 2 in Spain Only, in which I am interested for obvious reasons, whose status is publicly unknown.

Not sure if anything ever came of this, Decay posted once and the thread and all other life within a 2 mile radius instantly wilted and died but maybe progress continued in the YEDS Discord

What an absolute bottom feeder @bonnie was upon reading up about this. I’m glad this proj is under a new leader now.

Its been over a decade by this point, really wish people could get their shit together and get things done instead of faff about for this long. Especially since its apparently holding up Convilution/Forever too. I ALMOST regret ever getting involved in TNT2 given how much nonsense has happened with its development, its a cursed project.

That one might as well be abandoned, haven't heard about it in so long I forgot it was ever a thing.

 

Speaking of TNT projects being cursed; Final Doom the way id Did has been silent for far too many years.

This was brought up earlier on in the thread. FDTWID is on hold while certain other projects are being finished up.

Yeah, seeing how many people thought a bunch of wads were abandoned, I think it's important for people to understand that a project is only abandoned when 1) the author says so, or 2) the author has been missing for several years (and even this isn't a nail in the coffin—look at Sunder!) A lot of projects of these projects have just been put on hold indefinitely, which while appearing abandoned, will never be so to us project leads/coordinators.

 

If people think they've been waiting a long time for wad X/Y/Z to come out, I assure you the people working on it have been waaay more stressed out about it than the layperson, even if it's on the backburner.

Surprised nobody mentioned HPack yet. It's very odd. It was supposed to be such a big thing, but it seems everyone already forgot about it. I think it started back in 2009, so it should be getting a mordeth award for sure.
It's not really dead. It has just been in the limbo for ages.

The subforum hasn't had posts in years.
