Magicosm moving forward under new management
Posted Sunday, January 23rd, 2005 by Bobby "wurp" Martin

As many of you know, Magicosm has languished these last few months. Dave needed to spend more time with his family, and I picked up a new project (http://frimp.net). Without us, other contributions slowed almost to a halt.

About six weeks ago a development group from Brazil approached us about taking over development on Magicosm. They have a full time team (paid) that they will assign to Magicosm. The contractual arrangements are acceptable to both sides; we just need to formalize things and then they will take over. The expectation is that they will have something to release in less than a year, and we retain rights to work from what they've done and release in the US.

This is an unqualified Good Thing for Magicosm. It will get finished faster and better than it would otherwise, we get new ideas injected into the development process, and we can do whatever we like in terms of content with Magicosm, either during or after the Brazilian team is done.

Just to set your expectations very clearly - no US development of Magicosm is likely in the next 8 months to a year. During that time, Crossway Systems of Brazil will be developing on Magicosm with a full time team. Afterwards, Crossway will release in South and Central America, and we will update Magicosm for English speaking markets and release in North America and likely Europe.
