It’s been some time since I haven’t spoken here or on the Gamocracy site itself. I am very sorry about that but I really needed to sort many things out before I knew what to say. Since the previous blog entry I have been thinking quite a lot about Gamocracy’s future.
I’ll spare the details but let’s say that, throughout the year 2010, the working atmosphere in the Gamocracy team hasn’t been so good. Nobody’s to blame really but many things have not gone the way we expected, starting with differring visions for the site among us.
It’s not only that of course, but from the moment working at an innovative project isn’t fun anymore, a lot of what made it appealing vanishes at once and there you are left with your crazyness and a lot of risks in your hands.
For the past three months we’ve been thinking and talking about how we could go on, one way or another. It turns out development on the Gamocracy platform is on ice and will stay like that at least for some time. As for myself, I will stay away from the site and community as I’ve done recently. I don’t see myself coming back to it anytime soon. That said, there are no plans to take the site down anytime soon either.
With Gamocracy going the way it is, I need to find ways to make ends meet. I’m not too worried about it, but I need to go for it full time or my rent will become an issue. I’ve started working at other endeavours that should help me do that. Above all, I wish to remain independent and not become an employee again.
Thank you everyone that took part in Gamocracy, one way or another. It was tough and the ending ain’t the happiest ever but I enjoyed walking down that path together with you.
Now let’s go eat that green mushroom!
*sob sob* We will miss you!
Damn… That’s sad.
If you guys ever need my help (mostly as a programmer) count me in.
Are you sure there really aren’t any other options for saving Gamocracy?
I mean, Gamocracy is really just too good the way it is. I wouldn’t mind advertising or something like that at all. If the problem is the number of people in Gamocracy and buying games through Gamocracy, I’m sure there would be a lot more people if they knew just how good Gamocracy is.
No matter what, Gamocracy has the best gaming community I’ve ever found.
This is so sad :’(
I wish we could do something to keep it going, but I know when I work on a project, when I lose my interest in it, I will slowly forget about it and before I know it, I’m not working on it anymore.
I hope to see this site running again sometime, it’s a great idea and as Yokiharo said if you need any help we’re there to give a hand ;)
Anyone at Gamocracy is my friend, for me it is somekind of a family with like-minded persons And if one of you Gamocracians starts a similar project you can count me in.
Remember to join the Steam Group – http://steamcommunity.com/groups/gamocracy
I hope to hear whats actually going to happen in the next months, if the project is continuing or even stopped :’(
All who should want to keep the contact with me, just search my name on google and you should find me ;)
Good Luck with your projects Incolas & The rest of The Gamocracy Team :)
I’ll look forward to hear from you ;)

P.S. This might sound a bit overdriven but this is not!
I cried while reading & writing this :’(
I’m always crying when something good ends..
You are maybe knowing the feeling, something that shouldn’t end EVER, then ends after X episodes in a series or something.
But this is a bit different but I can’t really tell how to explain this feeling.

thanks for the support guys! the idea of Gamocracy is still in my head, I just don’t feel like pushing for it again at the moment. Maybe it’ll come back with another name someday… I’m just not sure.
