In 2013 maakten we voor het eerst kennis met Below, afkomstig van Super Time Force ontwikkelaar Capybara Games. We zijn inmiddels alweer drie jaar verder, maar toch hoeven we nog geen release te verwachten.
Eerder dit jaar maakte de studio bekend dat Below deze zomer uit moest gaan komen, echter kunnen ze dit niet waar maken. Sterker nog; ze zullen voorlopig helemaal niet meer over de game praten. Ze hebben meer ontwikkeltijd nodig en pas als ze een definitieve releasedatum kunnen geven zullen ze hun game weer in de spotlights plaatsen.
Hun volledige verklaring is als volgt:
quote:
We told you BELOW would be out this summer. Our team worked hard to make that deadline a reality. But after a strong push, we've decided it isn't ready.
We did a lot of soul searching. We knew we wanted to get it into your hands as soon as possible. We knew the game was there, and we're super proud of it, but we also knew it needed more time to make sure it lives up to our studio's standards, and the quality that you expect from our games. From the very beginning, BELOW has been our most ambitious undertaking, and we're just not quite done excavating its depths, or polishing all of its facets.
Making games is hard but rewarding work. Accepting, even after this long development, that the game needs more time is difficult, but it's important that we are honest with ourselves as creators, and with you, the players.
We're sorry we let you down with yet another delay. But in the end, we need to make certain that the hard work we've put into this game turns into something you'll love, and to us that unfortunately means keeping BELOW in the oven a while longer, until it truly is ready.
Instead of giving you a new, loose release window, we will be going dark while we take the time that we need to complete BELOW without compromise. The next time you see a major BELOW update, that means our game has a firm release date, which we'll share."
