Skythorn, From Celeste Developer, Cancelled

Skythorn not happening

By Grayshadow, Posted 30 Dec 2018

Celeste was one of the more popular indie games of 2018 and will be featured on Xbox Live Games with Gold 2019's selection. However, it seems that the indie developer has canceled their Metroidvania game Skythorn.

On Saturday, the team took to Medium to announce the cancellation of the project with Noel Berry, the lead programmer for the game, stating it was because of a major issue that the developer couldn't fix.

“We’re no longer going to be finishing Skytorn […] I’m really sorry for those of you who were excited about this game. We were too. We poured a lot of time, energy, and heart into the project and we’re definitely sad it’s never going to see the commercial release we were hoping for.”

“We redesigned the core a bunch of times, particularly the island generation. The general structure was always the same: There’s a floating island, and then 3 main dungeons you can go into, each of which contains a power up.”

This is unfortunate news but perhaps this is for the best. It makes you think how many other projects were canceled for the same reason.
