PoB collaboration over (for now)

Back in late 2007, I joined Phenomena On Break, the group that GrowingDelirium had been thinking of establishing. Ever since, we’ve been close friends and worked on countless ideas and projects, most of which he brought to life in a way only he can pull off.
Today, our official collaboration may be coming to a close.

As Delirium stated, all the previous Squad members – myself included – have lost our title, mostly due to his wish to reorganize PoB from scratch (and partly because I suggested him to). He proposes, however, that previous Squad members candidate to recover their status, justifying why their contribution is worth it.
Me? Well, I think this blog is enough proof that my contribution has no merits. I’ve been promising more content for almost two years, and I have little to show on that, besides my occasional enthusiasm and preview pictures of content that never comes to be. So, my opinion is that my role in PoB is over – let a new generation take over, or the previous go through strict selection to assure a higher degree of activity and quality.

This is, by no means, a proper end. I might still go back to the PoB team, and I will of course remain in the forums, but it just feels to me like this might be – apologies for the dramatism – the end of an era. I’ve shown my support for Phenomena On Break during this last year and half, and I think it’s time, not for me to move on from PoB, but for PoB to move on from me.

ENDGAME, however, will still be a PoB production if released – and yes, similarly to the not-yet-defunct Duke Nukem Forever game, it still somehow has a heartbeat, in spite of being over a year in production. Summer started a week ago for me, and when the urge to produce comics comes (and I feel it’s close), then I’ll try to finally give the McDonald’s/PoB War an end – whether it’s a fitting one, I’ll leave that to readers to decide.

So, what good will actually come from this? Well, for starters, I’m yet again toying with ideas on how to revitalize this blog of mine, and now I can focus my ideas on it instead of giving them over to PoB instead.
Of course, if you’re reading this with actual interest and are not a member of Phenomena On Break’s forums, what are you waiting for? Do join, please! I’d really like to read your posts!
