However, going forward, I will not accept toxicity within our community as it has gone on for far too long and driven far too many people away.įirst off id like to say i take my hat off to you marmalade and hope only the best and Thank you for what you did it wont go unforgotten to the people that matter and i only wish for a prosperous life for you. I will be discussing with the existing team on what actions to take for Clementine to go in a better direction. While I'm not certain on Clementine's future in terms of updates as I have a life outside of this, I can promise that we will remain online for as long as I can keep it up, as I don't wish to see Phantasy Star Universe die a second death. As of the middle of December I was transferred everything from Marmalade, and tonight finalised the transfer which will allow me to continue Clementine. I'd like to firstly thank every one of you that have supported us over the years and for the appreciation that you do show, believe me, we hear you and for the people that are not happy with the current state of Clementine, we hear you too. That's a very large portion of our lives to dedicate to something, just for it be taken for malicious intent and personal gain. If you're not aware, it will be 9 years in February when work began on Clementine. Myself, Marm or Tony never signed off on this, never agreed to it and there was never an attempt to make some sort of agreement between us. The people involved in this transaction and are in no way sympathethic for what has happened or the effects that it had, and will presumably continue their endeavour to replicate what Clementine is through the use of stolen files are Flawless / WilsonPSOBB, and Soly (From the Ultima PSOBB development team). The straw that broke the camel's back for us was a recent event where some of our old files were sold/leaked by a former moderator that you may all know, Parallaxed. Obviously, I have strong opinions on what has happened because I've been a long time close friend of Marm and because of that I think it's only appropriate that I say what I'm about to say. A lot was usually pinned on Marmalade when 9 times out of 10 it wasn't his fault, but because others can't accept responsibility. I know people have their opinions on where Clementine has ended up as of right now, but it doesn't excuse what happened behind the scenes over the past few months, and the unneccessary burden and attacks.
CLEMENTINE WILL REMEMBER THAT FULL
Sadly you will never know the full extent of the effects this project and community had on his health but it was dark and absolutely not OK. Needless to say I'll forever be grateful for what he achieved with Phantasy Star Universe and did to bring this old game back to life for us to enjoy. Everyone else that was good for this team left years ago because of the same. I'm impressed he soldiered on as much as he did and for as long as he did to be honest. I've been along side Marm for the majority of the journey to where we are today, and I've watched his slow decline in both physical and mental health because of what this project and this community has done over the years, through the drama and backstabbing and it's sickening. It goes without saying that Clementine only exists because of the insane amount of work Marm put in over the years, and I'll be rather blunt in this post, the fantastic vocal community of Phantasy Star chewed him up and spat him out in the middle of some serious health problems. This wasn't an easy decision for him and had been talking about it for a few months due to family and medical concerns.
CLEMENTINE WILL REMEMBER THAT UPDATE
This may not be an update post you were expecting, but it was to come eventually.Īfter 8 long years of pouring his time and effort into this project, Marmalade has left the Clementine Team.
