Greeting,

The OpenArcanum project has been abandoned today, due personal reasons/problems, I wont be able to continue working on this project, and because this project didn't received much attention and support from public as I expected, I have no reasons to wonder about future of this project anymore, so I'm retiring to live my life as before this project.

Site, forums and all content will stay alive till June 2010, then everything will be taken down and site will be closed.

However, source codes and research docs will be released, with hope that it will help others or that somebody will continue working on it.

For those who supported this project, thank you for your support!

Good bye!

Update:
After all, project will continue, so this announcement is not actual, moving to bin...

Ahh, damn.

Well, you can always take comfort in knowing that while a thousand and one people have talked about upgrading Arcanum, you were actually making it happen. That's got to count for something.

All the best to you.

As a side-note, I'd suggest contacting The_Bob or Dark Elf and see if you can get your source codes and software hosted at T-A. Things like ArtGen are of immediate interest to the mid-level modders (like me), while the next person to take up the challenge of upgrading the game would love to have a foundation to start from.

oh my..what a bad news..hope that one day u will change your mind and continue this...

That's very sad But I think it's very good that you're releasing the source code and docs.

Aw, crap. I just was about to offer my help. Well then, waiting for code.

I hope you will restart this work in future. All fans open source projects require good community, translators, coordinators (as Battle of Wesnoth). Thats why may be was better made playable demo version including one small module and publish on all major game sites. At first it helps to developers, when they can look at the own useful product and at second attract attention of fans, coders, artists.

Sorry for my moon-speak English

A small update, I've received a lot of messages with same question about release date of OpenArcanum source codes, and I always answer that source codes will be release some day, don't worry I didn't left or abandoned this project completely, and I'm planning to release it, but I can't tell you exact date, because I'm still preparing it for release, this preparation includes also finishing some unfinished functions and features so it may take some time.

What I can tell you for sure, it will be released this year, probably this half... but this also depends on my health condition, if it gets worse, I'll release it sooner, unfinished.

Thats all what I wanted to say, have a nice day!
