    Canceled, or stopped developing?

    Gilbert’s untitled RPG was announced in 2024, and had been in development for several months. It was slated for release later that year or in early 2025.

    It looks like the game was published back in October.

    Steam page: Death by Scrolling

      Death by Scrolling is a different game than the untitled RPG.

        The Game Industry Biz article reads like it’s confusing my old RPG game with my newly released game. It talks about a year old game being canceled and they makes no mention of my new game.

        Ok, so I’m not the only one who was confused by that.

        Thanks for the light.

    @Jeffool Ron Gilbert can’t do what thousands of independent devs do every day.

    Fuck him.
