“This is almost 5 years here of my life”: Sequel to early internet sim Hypnospace Outlaw, one of the best adventure games of the decade, has been cancelled new features
The follow-up to Hypnospace Outlaw, one of the best point-and-clickers of the last 10 years, has been cancelled.
Creator Jay Tholen today announced that his early internet sim Dreamsettler, set in the same funky world as Hypnospace Outlaw and spin-off FPS Slayers X, had been cancelled. “It’s not happening.” Tholen makes it clear that publisher No More Robots hadn’t been the ones to pull the plug – instead, the developers made the decision themselves.
Tholen explains that he’s never made games based on design documents. “I have to improvise, like in Hypnospace, like I’m pretending to be a character and making stuff… Things bloom from other things and then it becomes a big, holistic thing at the end… It just comes like a tree growing.”
