Whatever Happened to 'Alone at The Last'?

[Teal_Blue]

So i was checking the front page for news again... when i saw that the list of games in the pipeline had changed.

It used to be Skyward Collapse and Exodus of the Machine... and one listed as 'Alone at The Last'. Now that entry is gone and there is a list that says:

May 2013: Skyward Collapse
June 2013: Exodus of the Machine
Late 2013: Bionic Dues
Late 2013: Astride The Divided Sky
Late 2013: AI War Expansion 5

Sooooo..................   the question is What is Bionic Dues? Or Astride the Divided Sky, which are way cool names actually, but i was hoping to find out... did 'Alone at The Last' not make the cut? Or did it get a name change?
And i am assuming that the new games listed can't be talked about til later, when things get closer. Anyway... when you do that... you know, like change names and / or drop ideas for other ideas, could you please let us know?    So we don't like you know... worry... haha, or are you just keeping us in suspense?

I was thinking about this question yesterday. Also, what's AI War Expansion 5 gonna be?

And what happened to the Valley 2/SH expansions?

And what happened to the Valley 2/SH expansions?

From what I hear they weren't profitable enough to make expansions worth it.

Pretty much that. Not enough sales to justify expansions for the Valley games so I can't blame Arcen for not making them.

I haven't even looked at that. May and June for Skyward and Exodus? That's really quick. I need to hang around here more often.

And Bionic Dudes better be an 8 bit Bionic Commando style game.

I'm convinced Chris maintains that list in the corner of the main webpage as a means of generating threads like this.  It'd be interesting to see how many times it's actually presented information that turned out to be accurate   It's true at the time it's posted, of course, but things change so fast around here.

And thus the gaming community has never learned Whatever Happened to 'Alone at The Last' =)

Heh, actually, Chris did answer in another thread that Teal asked about it. Basically, the answer there was "it's on hold for now." There are a bunch of reasons for this, but one of the big ones is that it's a very dark game, and Chris just isn't interested in making another dark game right now.
