AGD2 is right. We talked about it a little while ago. After the mystery scripter left, we were unsure about what to do with this. I mentioned that Kippesoep wasn't a newbie in game design and thus it was very likely that he would actually finish his project. (not to be unfair, but a lot of people who start a fan project end up discontinuing it after losing interest)
This is the problem with secret remakes ,I guess. Neither we nor Kippesoep announced the project as soon as we started it, so we were basically working on our projects without even knowing about the other.
The 1/8 screenshot was actually the corner of Roger's watch. (the one you use to communicate with the chief of XOS4) Sneaky trick, wasn't it?
This decision isn't easy, but the departure of the secret scripter meant that SQ2VGA wasn't going to be finished until after QG2VGA's release. And as Sonic mentioned, it wouldn't be gentlemanly (is that a real word?) to try and compete with his project, assuming we'd be able to finish before him.
Of course, Kippesoep, the fact that we're likely to cancel it gives you a bit of an obligation to finish your own project.
(hoo boy, I'm sure this news is gonna spread FAST)
