Adam Gryu, the indie developer behind delightful mini-open-world A Short Hike and a popular pumpkin-carving MMO, has finally (sort of) cancelled his Paper Mario-ish game after almost a decade since its announcement.
A new blog post called ‘I might never finish this game, so I’m releasing the demo’ details why Gryu isn’t working on the game anymore, where it was at in development, why he’s letting everyone try a build anyway, and what he’s working on next.
He explains that the Untitled Paper RPG began life when Nintendo revealed Paper Mario Color Splash in 2016, and all of his nostalgic memories for old-school Paper Mario came flooding back. “Well, I make games, why not try making the game I want to see?”
