It is always sad when an MMORPG is forced to close. Unfortunately for Smiling Gator Productions, that is exactly what the New Year has brought with it. Yesterday, the developers announced that SGP would be closing, and that their game, Twilight War would close with it.

 

Patch Installation for 1.4.2 - 2006-01-04

It's not a Happy New Year here at Smiling Gator Productions.

Unfortunately, the end of 2005 is also the end of SGP. Our committed funds have run dry and we were not successful in the hunt for additional investment. The websites and email will be disabled in the coming days, so this is our last announcement before we shut down for good. Thanks again to our fantastic forums community for all the support and contributions! We hope you find another project and give them the devotion and incisive comments we've enjoyed reading for the past 17 months.

For those who are interested, the Twilight War community will continue on Twilight War HQ.

Licensing the Source Engine probably took a large portion of their funds. What is this now, two companies put out of business that used the Source Engine?

The meaning of life is attained by caring for the one you have created.

Papa for life!!!

Bummer, i thought this one would have been sweet to play. The source engine speaks for its self. It is truly an amazing peice of software. I hope Valve will build a source powered MMOG someday.

That's really sad news, I only read about Twilight War a few weeks ago & liked the idea of fps combat and the story line was quirky I was hoping to check it out. ::::05::
