TFHM is still going on. It was limited to only 4 people at first.
One was VV and with her mother dying and being on the hook for a new book to write - she has obviously had a full plate.
Rae is still working on some efforts. I know I put forward a possible buyer and she is working on it. I am sorry that businesses don't operate in the full public and rarely do they want anyone to know what they are doing.
I know it all seems a bit cloak and dagger, sometimes it HAS to be.
You have 3 projects in the light of day, H&V, Phoenix and Valience.
You have at least 2 reverse engineering projects going.
You have at least 2 suggestions out with Disney and Google and there is a 3rd.
There is cause for hope. None of these is a certainty, I am sorry there isn't more to share but you have either possible legal entanglements or they quiet method businesses use to move on a property. I really wish it was more open but let me place you in the drivers seat.
If you had $10-15 million to spend and were trying to buy a game to restore it would you openly show your hand to have maybe it all to go south and raise the ire of people without need?
OK I'm catching up on the last several posts.
Ironwolf, I take it from your last few posts, especially the above quoted one, that you are now part of the TFHM team? I've noticed a few people are using your quote above as proof that TFHM is still a thing. I'm just trying to make sure you are in a position to speak for the TFHM organizers and TFHM's current status.
This isn't me putting a spotlight on you--I think you've done that to yourself by being the only one presently speaking for TFHM's status. I'm just trying to make absolutely sure that you're an actual TFHM representative, not an overzealous fan of the effort. In your post above you indirectly paint yourself as someone with inside information. Accidental or not, it's clear that people are taking you for a TFHM representative. If that's a misunderstanding, I haven't seen you correct it.
I'm an overzealous fan of ANY effort, but not at the cost of accurate information. I am all for hope, but not at the expense of productive efforts and tactics. It's true that there has been a change of attitude for myself and some others,
and the reason for that doesn't need to be repeated. At this stage, there have been so many blind alleys and diminished hopes, the people who are left are the ones who can handle the truth; in fact, anything less is disrespectful. There are efforts that are very open and active right now--and worth peoples valuable time. TFHM is probably not one of them. I would feel differently if any of its founding members were vocal in the slightest, but they're not.
Some of TFHM's members are active in other communities out there. They haven't disappeared. They're not taking time away from the Net. What that probably means is that they're not hanging out here anymore, there are no updates, there are no packets going out, there are no prospective buyers, they're burned out, they're doing something else. I'm proud of them for their efforts, but they might be too ashamed to admit they've quit and moved on. Or maybe shame has nothing to do with it. I hope it doesn't. Maybe they just moved on. They would never have needed our permission to do that, and I hope they're as proud of their efforts as I am.
