As i was surfing around the web today i found out that developers Trilunar had to cease development of the game Dragonkind for XBox as well as close down TriLunar. Here is a clip:
Today we have a disappointing announcement. Due to lack of resources, we have had to cease development of the game Dragonkind as well as close down TriLunar. The company was funded 100% internally, and without access to an external source of capital, we are unable to continue operating. This decision disappoints us as much as it probably disappoints all of our fans and supporters.
