Ballerium Delirium

The Ballerium Forums (thanks Frans) has word of the tenuous state of Ballerium, Majorem's planned MMORTS. The update describes difficulties securing further financing for the project, saying that development is now on hold, and that the team is seeking other work:

It all started about a year ago when Majorem's partners in Taiwan came accross difficulties to fullfil their side of the contract, which left Majorem in a very vulnerable position. Without getting into too many details, over the past year or so we've been in touch with the largest - without giving names - really the largest - publishers of MMO games, but eventually they all prefered to wait and see what will come out of Ballerium before investing their own resources in assisting us "getting there".

We were also in touch with several investors, - in fact one ofthe reasons we delayed these news so much were that we were lead to understand such an investment is really possible and probable, but results weren't better.

Either way right now we have no money to keep developing and so, with great pain, the team had to start looking for new jobs elsewhere.

There is still a certain, slim, hope that we get the resources to continue this project in the future, but I wouldn't rate those chances high.
