Regarding future development on legacy games

[Justg]

I'm also really looking forward to this new game unless...is it a Moba game? I hate those lol

In that case you may not like it lol. But then again, it will be our take, so maybe you will!

I honestly wish STG was doing better. You guys make some of the best games in the App Store by a long shot in my opinion.

Thank you, and we're doing great. We're stopping development on our older games to focus forward. The future is very bright

Much appreciate your comments.

Actually, that's what I was thinking! I'll definitely check it out when it releases. And I certainly look forward to the future development of new games and content! But dang I sure will miss these older titles.

I never tought it would end this way.I spent so much time on PL and SL and with the platinum I bought im surprised that cap ain't 100 yet. I know that businesses have to do what's right to survive, but all I wish is an Angel set. I spent way too much time and money to let it go. If you can STS. I ensure you that I will visit all your games! By the way,Keep up the great work as always!

By seasonal events, you mean nothing "new" about them?

Or plain out not re-releasing recycled events such as Halloween and winterfest?

Hey folks,

Happy New Year!

I’d like to talk with you about the future of our legacy games. It’s no secret that we have been putting the majority of our Live development resources into Arcane Legends. In the past, when asked if we are going to update the level cap or release new content for the other games, we really didn't think we would be doing anything, but we were not certain. Our response has been “there is nothing on the horizon”. We now have a good handle on our future, and I’d like to be more clear about our legacy games.

We will no longer be updating Pocket, Star, or Dark Legends. We also will no longer be updating Battle Dragons or Arcane Battlegrounds. This includes weekly 2x bonuses and seasonal events. We are not sunsetting (shutting down) these games. We will keep all of them running for the foreseeable future, but we are not going to be adding anything new. The drain is simply too great on our limited resources.

I say this with a very heavy heart. Pocket Legends, in particular, has our soul in it. This was a transformational title for the studio. It contains some of our best efforts and biggest ambitions. It is full of our inside jokes. Many of the NPCs are named after our kids. It was a dream for us that became a reality, and we are lucky to have been able to share it with you.

We’ll continue to focus our Live development efforts on AL, which is still going very strong. This includes a community-focused approach and another expansion scheduled for early this year. If you are a PL, SL, or DL player that wants to check it out, please give it a go. You’ll find a very active and vibrant community there. We also have another client update coming for Battle Command with some very cool stuff.

We’ll be announcing a new title in the very near future. It is fully PvP oriented, and I think many of you are going to like it very much. I know this does not ease the sting of no more updates for our older games, but we have to make these decisions in order to continue to grow as a company. I’ll stay involved in this thread to discuss further with you, thanks in advance for keeping it level.

I’d like to express our great love and gratitude to you, the most passionate, active, loyal, and supportive community I have ever worked with. I can’t express how grateful we are that you have been enjoying our games for so long. We’ll do our best to try to surprise and delight you far into the future.

Thanks,

- Gary Gattis
CEO, Spacetime Studios

Not even recycled seasonal updates or birthday events any more? This is beyond depressing.

[Obstinance]

I'd also like to know whether content will still be rereleased or completely cut off.

[Fncrazy]

If pl is done you could at least put back in....the black dragon and other elite stuff and let us get all the stuff we can

[Burstnuke]

PL I won't be investing in the other games Justg, since the same thing is going to happen that happened to PL. I have invested so much into that game, now im afraid to invest all my time and money into another one to have it not be updated anymore.

[Fncrazy]

This would allow every pl player to get every item pl has had to offer

[Burstnuke]

No players invested money to get the items, dont do this.

[Fncrazy]

Burst It's not about the money, it's about opening up everything the game has ever offered to ever player old and new. I've spent my own money on these items as well. If you don't open this content I believe this game's life will not be long

[Burstnuke]

It's not about the money, it's about opening up everything the game has ever offered to ever player old and new.

No its not, i invested time and money into the game for it being completly shut down for development.

[anahadaz]

It's up to the players now completely to keep the game alive, with pvp tournaments, giveaways, farming etc.

[tger]

So will there be events (even old ones), and you promise that PL wont be closed atleast for 5 years?

[Blood_Hunter]

Wait so this means Those 3 games have stopped being updated. Correct but the new game you are making. If its pvp orientated, can u tell me which game itll mostly be like? And Can u still have characters just to roam around with? Will there be townes and quests still?

Thanks Sts

[for the lulz]

cud we get valentines atleast just some vanities?

[Plaguemaw]

Just considered this... so we're stuck on a neverending cycle of Xperia buttons for deal of the day?

Can you guys at least spice up the batch a bit?

We are not going to re-release anything.

I am sorry, no updates means no updates.

Again, we are not shutting these games down. You can still play to your heart's content. We are just not adding anything new to them.

Reminder, please keep feedback level. I understand that many of you are frustrated, but insulting us does not help anything or anyone.

[Devaux]

I was thinking this too lol but also sts should consider going out with a boom rather than a depressing "we give up and have fun with xpera and pirate vanities or a balloon for dotd...every day...for eternity" Bring back all old items and rare vanities then eh'?! Give us loyal players some juice to keep playing. That's not technically new either so really it wouldn't be going against your word
