Topic name: "Everything has a beginning - everything has an end"
Hello there,
I've had enough of bug fixing.
I've relized that past years I have put too much effort on this project. So with I've decided that for not if not entirely I will give up on this project. I will release the dialogues that were done but not polished any other than me.
I know I was too close to the end. But what is actually close? I mean even this close to the end I would have needed many months to fully polish the game to it's perfection. As I am so clumsy with coding and as the editor is so troublesome to edit I have reached my limit. I mean every time if I need to do even a slight version of the campaign, I will have to copy the basic code to all 9 chapters and then optimize the campaign. That is few hours job.
I know I may regret this later, but here I am. Right now determined and ready to say what I have to say. I'm a positive guy, I am - I am a but I am also
My consciousness says otherway, but deep in myself I know that this is a right choice - I will have to think about something else than you guys. I am simply too kind - and this has let me go doom.
I want now be entirely honest here. This project was my life. I got bad results in school I never really paid more than necessary focus on school than just completeing everything by the lowest standards. It has now grown to me and because of this game I think I won't ever again change. I am now what I am. I am still that positive guy - but I am a also realist.
but sometimes things have to end. As I have said many times: everything has a beginning - everything has an end.
What am I doing this? Let me explain:
Attention
Longer I have been working on this project, fewer attention I have received. This is of course understanding as Warcraft III is a dying and and old game. Still I think the effort I have given to the project should bring more attention. If we look to a game like DOTA I'm pretty sure I have given more effort to the game than IceFrog. Of course it is a multiplayer game, but still I don't feel like things are alright.
Everything leads to me
I'm a guy who wants to have all strings. From the beginning to this day everything has been under my command - if not too much. There have been some incredible guys while I have been working on this project - but I haven't accepted their help more than little. Projects like this shouldn't be done alone.
I was never here for a gameplay - I was here for a story
Over the years the gameplay value rose a far more than the story. Like I have said before, I wasn't a great coderer, I wasn't a great at anything. I only had two things that kept me doing this; to finish the story and satisfy you. There have to stop too to satisfy you, as I don't get anything back but feedback. I liked the attention and feedback over the years, but I got immune to that. Now that you that 'Aero you're so great, keep up the good work' it feels nothing.
So, in these links you can read things that has been never released.

Epilogue
My future lies now in the book - the one that I can actually earn something. My wish had always been for doing work something where I like and where I'm paid - and that I will try till the end that.
This is a good bye. My legacy is at the epilogue text. Read that and you'll understand what we have been dealing here today.
Now I will see what is
