Stargate Worlds funding woes continue News
MMO PC News by Oli Welsh
Things aren't looking too good for Stargate Worlds, the MMO based on the popular TV series and film. The chief executive of developer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment has indicated that the company is in dire funding straits.
Approached by Massively after the game's website disappeared for a while, Timothy Jenson said, "our company has struggled in the current economic climate to raise the funding needed to successfully develop and publish our MMORPG.
"While there continues to be a lot of desire, enthusiasm and excitement about the project from our employees, investors and fans, we will not be able to provide any updates on the development of Stargate Worlds until sufficient funding is available."
Stargate Worlds' financial troubles first came to light late last year. "We have maintained a core of dedicated investors, but the new economic realities are forcing us to seek out additional sources of funding and that’s what we're doing," Cheyenne said in a statement responding to controversy over unpaid staff.
Earlier this year, Cheyenne also found itself facing a lawsuit for unpaid bills.

... which is shaping up to be pretty good so far
If the last episode of SGU is anything to go by then no, it's not. Its a lot darker, reminds me of BSG. |

i was thinking that the filming style was like BSG and i dont think there was anything wrong with the last episode, its different to sg1 and sga which is good it cant carry on being just the same otherwise would be no point starting new series.

If the last episode of SGU is anything to go by then no, it's not. You are aware that the 'pilot' was across all 3 hours, aren't you? Whilst that desert planet was shown as a separate episode, try and consider it as the continuation of the 2 hour opener, because that's what it was; namely, "Air" parts 1, 2 and 3. |

im hopeful about SGU. Robert Carlyle is an excellant actor. Hoping his character doesnt turn out to be as much of a cunt as the pilot lead me to suspect. but hey, im not a script writer so I know fuck all. I'll sit back and wait to be entertained. :P

I have experience of working with the chaps behind this on another project and all I can say is I'm not surprised there are problems. I don't wish them ill as they were nice guys but they were also victims of their own - frankly utterly OTT - ambitions.
