A few months ago, FlashFlashRevolution went offline without a peep from James (Synthlight). As a result, the community at Tasselfoot.com came together and started planning a revival of the game. The decided name of the new site was ThirdStyle. If you don’t know, ThirdStyle is really an inside joke from FlashFlashRevolution; a game that would never be released.
Summerschool, NSane, LD, and myself set out on creating the new site. Summerschool and I used to work together on FFR back when, well, we were actually paid employees. Development went strong, traffic was amazing. Eventually Summerschool took over of ThirdStyle game development, while I handled backend development. We even got our own dedicated server just for it.
About two weeks ago Mike (Tasselfoot) made contact with me in regards to merging ThirdStyle into FFR. Now at first I thought “Why the hell would I do all this work to just hand it over?” But I decided to humor the idea and meet with Mike to see what he said. We met last Tuesday during my lunch break.
So without rambling on, let me get to the point. TS will be no more. It will eventually be merged into FFR. It is unlikely that I will have anything to do with FFR from this point on. I don’t want anything to do with it.
UPDATE: I should have been more clear. TS in its current form will be no more. I am not giving up on it. FFR though, I will have no involvement with.
UPDATE 2: TS is coming back in a different way. It will not be replacing FFR, only complementing it. The game will be hosted on TS, not FFR. If FFR decides they want a new engine, they can talk to Isak or myself and we can setup a deal.
