Hello all,
I have some unfortunate but perhaps not unexpected news. Silent Spring has had an amazing run over the past ten months, but it hasn’t been possible to maintain the numbers that we need for pivotal event moments in the overarching plot of the game, so I have made the hard decision that it is time to retire it.
I am going to leave the comms open so that everyone can still access their threads, but they will not be accepting new members; I will not be disclosing the secrets of the plot because someday I hope to maybe try again and reboot the game when the DWRP landscape is a little different and it’s easier for a very involved and niche game to thrive.
I just wanted to say a few things - this has been my first/only time modding, and I was really really worried about how that might turn out. The playerbase I got completely put that doubt to rest. You guys - both in the game currently, and all of the players who were had at different points in the game’s run - were absolutely amazing, creative, constructive, compassionate, and FUN people. I really, really lucked out and I had a blast modding for you, and I’m so glad that I’ve found myself in games with many former and current players. Everyone was very understanding during the million and one life events that happened this year, and my experience modding was honestly a really good one and one that I’d be liable to repeat again in the right circumstances for a game to succeed.
I also appreciate all of the help from the game’s sensitivity editors, both those in the game and those who offered their input behind the scenes. I think we were able to create a unique environment together and hopefully this will become more of a trend in DWRP gamerunning as time goes on.
So thanks again for the amazing time, and see you around, neighbors. <3
