This means that the Waves 2 development won't be continued by you CJ?
I can promise you that Waves 2 will live on. Waves original too I guess. Recently I mentioned that waves 2 in now by very favourite game of that genre. It is pretty genius what he made. It beats what I consider it's only close rival, Geometry wars three.
The game he left us in my opinion is finished as I only play arcade which is brilliant. I said to squid about 7 years ago why not release the arcade section as a game in itself. But he would have none of it. A true perfectionist. Not only did he try to get the other part which I never even tried totally finished, he continued to up the quality uniqueness and, zero memorization totally skill based aracade section.
I have well over 500 hours in that alone and play and still play.
Not sure it's appropriate, but Squid - to me at least - lives on in a sense through the master piece shooter. I will play today, and probably 10 years later, if it's still up, I'll be playing.
He will never be forgotten. His game has given me hundreds of hours of joy - I really mean that. It still has unlimited levels of joy years into the future. Of course, I will think of him every time I play.
Actually CJ, I just read your post again and your last paragraph is spot on and better written then mine just above.
I wish you the very best and want to thank you again for letting us know. It means a lot to some of us who have played over a decade and spent hundreds, maybe it's a thousand of hours with it. You had no obligation to post, but you did and although it's a sad message of course, thank you very much for passing it on.
He will not be forgotten by me. He left a great thing in the form of Waves 2.
Sincere condolences.
I'll end by saying everything you said, CJ, is true, and x10. He was brilliant.
I know dealing with Squid's affairs must be beyond awful still. Thank you for taking energy from grieving to let us know. I hope there's a little comfort in the sympathy of strangers, and words of the joy Squid brought to many. There's love and art both in Waves, and in playing it.
really sad news you have to make. I think no one will ever have to make such sad news about his friend or partner.
Even if I don't know you or Rob, I want to express my honest condolences.
And I want to thank you both for the games you made and the joy you brought and will bring to the people.
rest in peace Rob.
greetings.
I'm in a bit of disbelief at the moment...
Have you considered releasing the assets and source code to the community, since you're not interested in monetizing the game further?
