Crowdfunded MMO ‘TitanReach’ cancelled, developer vanishes after fraud accusations

TitanReach, an MMO that raised around £147,231 via crowdfunding, has been cancelled, and the developer has closed down social media channels after being accused of fraud.As reported by PC Gamer, TitanReach was meant to be a “Runescape-like” MMO that relied upon crowdfunded cash to continue development.Developer Square Root raised around £147,231 from fans, however it apparently wasn’t enough – and the game’s lead developer, going by Unravel, said the game was cancelled in August 2021.However, by September of that year Unravel said that funds for TitanReach had been provided by an anonymous investor, and the MMO would continue to be developed.That’s until February 2022, when the game once again ceased development. Unravel claimed in Discord that the funds they were provided by an investor had run out, and said “this ride has not been easy.”Unravel also started talking at length about their plans for NFT integration in the game, something that obviously did not pan out.More details have emerged via YouTuber KiraTV, who has claimed that Unravel had their funding pulled from the anonymous investor due to misappropriating funds.

(The book is out this month; Rinzler passed away in July.)The films weren’t as popular not because they weren’t good, Hamill went on, but because they weren’t as easily digestible as the franchise’s more beloved films.“They were criticized because they were exposition-heavy and more cerebral and probably, like he said back in 1976, they weren’t as commercial.

‘Star Wars: Visions’ Feels Like A Collection Of Anime Cover Songs With Only A Few Hits [Review]

There’s a story, it might be apocryphal, about how George Lucas went to Toshiro Mifune to offer him the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in “Star Wars.” It makes sense, right? It’s widely known how Lucas was inspired by, and cribbed heavily from, Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress,” the star of whom is Mifuni of course, and what with the robes and the swords and that “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is nobody’s idea of an obvious nom de plume for Sir Alec Guinness, Mifune.
