Termination of Avory's Game of Civilization V
9 years ago
General
It is with great sorrow and regret that I bring the us that the comic 'Avory's Game of Civilization V' which I had organised back in early 2015, over one and a half years ago, has been cancelled and will not be returning indefinitely.
This comes about after numerous contributors ran into financial difficulty presently or in the past. A group discussion from this revealed that both contributors and the artist had lost interest in the project during it's production, some of which expressed that they had lost interest before the first page was even published. I remained the only one interested in the project.
One contribute even stated that " this was just money "thrown away" like a kickstarter ". I feel like a fraud because of this and are heartbroken.
Time was another issue; despite that before anyone joined up I clearly stated multiple times to everyone that the comic could take up to 300 pages (with the intention of lowering this in which the projected final amount is 200 pages total) I believe that because of the unanimous decision by everyone that that this fact has been overruled.
The quality of product was also a huge issue where the content, writing and artwork for the comic less then desirable and even questionable in a multitude of ways. I feel that I whole responsibility for this.
I am heartbroken, disgusted, a failure and deeply upset with the whole ordeal.
I will need to take a step back from all this and maybe this community to amend myself.
At the start of I knew none of the people in it but during this they became my friends; now I fear that they will now abandon me because of this and that they no longer have any financial ties or responsibility linked to me; I fear that they have become my enemy.
I am a mess right now; I've been under stress so much lately and now this. I really do not know what to do with myself. I kept calm last night to resolve the comic's abrupt ending but since then I've broken down and for one of the rare occurrences in tears. I don't think I can brand the name 'Avory' any more...

But don't take it as a complete loss, it's beautiful art and should be appreciated.
