Indefinite hold ≠ cancelled, but it might as well be.

Usually, things put on indefinite hold are written by a small group of people, and the fact that it's written that way means that they specifically know how it works since they programmed everything in it. After a while, though, the thought of picking something back up becomes less and less appealing since there's usually problems you need to fix, and by the time you learn how to fix them, you'd rather just rewrite a whole chunk of {thing}, and that's unappealing to even think about. It's also hard to pick up if you have no relation to the project since you have to study the code and ask a ton of questions to an old or straight up dead account. Or, you could not be at the programming level that the original creators were, or you want to do it some different way.

This is pretty much the reason (sorta) that we have so many remakes. If people were eager to continue where others left off, we would have what would probably be a very strong development team on a single remake on a strong engine.

It's true. That's the problem with only one person on the project. But like danielmus said early on, this is more of a fun/learning project than for the community. But things like this are why I wanted him to put the code in a public source control so others can contribute to it if he drops it.

the remake is looking epic are you still working on the game

'The praise part.'
Wow this is a very good remake.
If you actually put your time and effort into this i reckon this will turn into a very game.
In fact, i reckon that this game will be accepted and will over place the Blitz3d version.
'The real part' Anyhow im really hoping this idea doesn't get ditched as myself and many other people are really on board with the whole idea and has potential.

*No offence.

Now I may not be an expert at coding or creating games, but one thing i know is how to make models and meshes. I do realize that this project is just something you want to do on your spare time, but if you wish I could try to help you on your way when I can. Just so you know

Could somebody tell me the current status of the project? I've played through what is currently in the game and haven't seen any updates so far so I'm fearing for the worst.

It's basically dead.

He posted an update video Oct 2016 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6-evSRrotI ) saying he wants to keep working on it, but he is gonna put his own twist on the game instead of recreating the original SCP CB, since Zornor90 is basically doing that.

He commented early Feb 2017 and said "My aim is to have the first 10-15 minutes done and polished for a preview/demo by the end of the year (But that's assuming everything goes to plan!) "

It's dead for sure.

We might as well lock this topic since theirs no update and that Zornor90 is making a unity remake, making any further updates kinda useless.
I'm also worried people might start shit-posting soon...
