Title: Whatever happened to Hand of Law?
Post by: Driggz on July 23, 2015, 04:14:53 am: For those of you who don't know what Hand of Law was, it was an upcoming game project from the Argonath team.

I have been following it regularly since it was announced back around 2008, but then all the new stopped.

It was a really awesome concept, and thought it would be an awesome game.

I'm curious, what ever happened to it?

Here is the old site for anyone who is interested:http://www.handoflaw.com

This.

In addition to developers, there is a need for graphics artists, animators, and a whole host of other graphic related roles and such. These positions do not typically come cheap.

Post by: Gandalf on August 03, 2015, 09:19:57 pm: The initial project dies off because most of the people who wanted to start it could not dedicate the time to do so.

However the project is not yet to be considered dead, some things are prepared to be launched.
What it is ? Think of SA:MP without the need for a base game, but with a lot of innovative possibilities.

So far none of the online games has managed to get even close to what the ideas are, and while when it was conceived the technology was probably out of reach, the current state will support it.
