Stalker: Lost Alpha is officially 'frozen' (sounds like a polite way of saying 'dead' - by Vivian

Bollocks, I was really looking forward to it.

Dunno if this is just a temporary setback, but it sounds pretty final. And there are the inevitable rumours of corporate skulduggery.

First STALKER 2 and now this? I'm a sad stalker. :(

Well this sucks. This is one of the recent FPS series I don't have to cross my fingers to honestly say I really like playing.

Good news! The project lead, dezodor, denied claims they were cancelled on moddb.

"Project is not frozen, or closed, until we finish it, we always had problems, but who not? Our lead programmer is off for some reason, and we have some engine bugs, and some other members are not sure when the programmer will come back, or even if he will. Thats the story, till then we work on other things."

Oh. The 'frozen' message has been nixed from the main site as well. What's going on? Some rogue team member getting all attention-seeking?

O.K. That's a bit unsettling. Hopefully the lead programmer will
a.) get better,
b.) be found,
c.) just show up at work one day soon,
or, they'll just promote someone already working on the project to take his place.
After the Stalker 2 fiasco I don't think I can take any more disappointments.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill some more snorks.

I hate to say it but I told you so
oh wait
I love to say I told you so
Vivian on 8/6/2012 at 08:03
When did you tell us so?
Anyway, you might have to reel your little smugboner back in a bit, looks like it's all been greatly exaggerated.

Hi guys,
I can tell you now this mod is very much not dead! Currently we're at internal testing phase.
So far it looks amazing, it's already playable. There are so many new features added to the game. It's so big currently that GSC was considering making it a stand-alone game in the Stalker universe. However this did not happen thanks to GSC not being able to make up their minds.
Release date is set for September 2012.
Internal testing deadline is currently set at end of August.
