Vdaxzter Posted May 6, 2012 When the first two episodes of Scythe X were released, Erik Alm wrote that more 5 level episodes would be coming. As far as I'm aware, no more episodes have been released since the first two in 2009. Does anyone know if this project has been abandoned, or is development ongoing? 0 Share this post Link to post
PRIMEVAL Posted May 7, 2012 I believe development is still going, albeit slowly. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gothic Posted May 7, 2012 I dream for the day to see new maps from Eric Alm <3 0 Share this post Link to post
Lila Feuer Posted May 7, 2012 The episode format has not been proven to work... very well! 0 Share this post Link to post
stewboy Posted May 7, 2012 I don't know if Erik Alm has even been seen since then. 0 Share this post Link to post
Snakes Posted May 7, 2012 It's been 2 1/2 years since he even posted on this website. I think it's high-time we all sort of accepted this project's death and move on. I did quite a long time ago, anyways.Cyanosis said:The episode format has not been proven to work. Don't get what you're trying to say here. 0 Share this post Link to post

He must have a time-consuming job and/or family life. It's great he gave us the first levels of Scythe X meanwhile. 0 Share this post Link to post

Phml Posted May 7, 2012 No, you're probably not the only one. There's no shortage of overly negative people on the Internet. Personally, I think Scythe X looks great. 0 Share this post Link to post
Carnevil Posted May 7, 2012 I private messaged him on here a couple of years ago asking if he'd like to map for Wrack. According to the PM tracking, not only has he not even read it, but he hasn't been on DW since 12/31/09 :( Phml said:No, you're probably not the only one.

Philnemba Posted May 7, 2012 Give it another year and a half and he comes back randomly like did when OUT OF NOWHERE actually finish it like he did with Scythe 2...but that's just wishful thinking on my end. tempun said:Okay. Does anyone here agree with me? I don't :P 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted May 7, 2012 Cyanosis said:In Doom's case, this and Mordeth, in other games' case, SiN Episodes, Half-Life 2 Episodes. If we go by the logic that episodic mods and games "don't work" simply because a few haven't been completed or have been extensively delayed, then non-episodic mods and games "don't work" either, since countless non-episodic mods and games have been cancelled or heavily delayed (just look at Duke Nukem Forever). As evidence that episodic games can be completed and in a reasonably timely manor, I present to you the .hack series, American McGee's Grimm, and the Telltale games (e.g. Bone, the three "seasons" of Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island, Wallace & Gromit, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, etc). On the mod front, there's Minerva Chapter 1 for Half-life 2. 0 Share this post Link to post
T-Rex Posted May 7, 2012 I'm pretty sure Scythe X will be released as a full 32-level megawad least we expect it. Sometimes, it's real life situations that conflict with the author completing wads, and Erik Alm is probably no exception. Like many stated, it took him over 4 years to release Scythe 2 as a full 32-level megawad, and other projects from other authors out there are still yet to be in completion like Mordeth, Deus Vult 2, and especially Dr. Sleep's Lethe. 0 Share this post Link to post
