Hi everyone--I have some sad news to report. Assassins Paintball is going to close on January 28th.
A few of us behind the scenes have worked hard on this game for the last 6 months. We're so excited that we've been able to attract a small group of hard core players who keep coming back for more! But unfortunately we have not been able to attract a large enough audience of players to help us make ends meet. We've invested quite a lot of time and money into developing Assassins Paintball, but because we're continuing to lose money each month and need to shut it off.
This was the first game that I have developed of this type and I learned a lot in the process. There is one fundamental mistakes I made early on in the game play design that created the "everyone is in immunity" situation. That has been definitely been the hardest problem to solve without fundamentally changing the gameplay.
We're going to take the lessons we learned from Assassins Paintball and try again with a new game. It will be different theme from this one but I'm hoping that by applying the lessons we learned in this game we'll be able to create something even more fun.
Again, I'm sorry to everyone who will be sad to see Assassins Paintball go. You should take a screenshot of your high score before Jan 28th when we have to shut off the server.
