Hai everyone,
so, its been a while since the last update and theres a reason for why I have been so quiet over the last few weeks.
Unfortunately, I regret to inform you all that the mod has been cancelled due to copyright issues
I really didnt see this coming, but I guess one cannot always get lucky. There was no specific complaint filed from Hasbro (atleast not to my knowledge), instead, Blizzard decided to remove the mod from the Arcade as a preemptive measure and adviced me to seek an official permission from Hasbro, which I did. However, unfortunately, Hasbro politely declined the request and as such this mod project unfortunately wont come to fruition. Edit since people are digging this up without acknowledging the full context: To clarify this - Blizzard never asked me to stop working on the game. They were merely removing it from the Arcade as a preemptive measure and they were open to solutions. Had Hasbro shown themselves as beeing more positive towards this project, the project could have continued without issue as far as I was told. At the end of the day, due to these circumstances, I decided to end work on this project, since this project was mostly supposed to be a test-game either way.
Future of the project
However, fear not. As stated in the opening post, the impressive engine behind this mod was NOT made specifically for "Transformers: Open World".
The massive third-person open world RPG mod for Starcraft 2 will still happen!
Currently, Im evaluating in what other direction I can push this project, now that it is is clear that I cannot make this a Transformers mod.
Thanks again to all the people who were interested and looked forward to this mod! In any case, you can look forward to the future of this project!
