Pharaoh Productions Closes

After a decade of involvement with the gaming industry, I've decided that it's time to move on to something else and shut Pharaoh down.
Note that DEMISE will continue to be sold, supported, and patched, and the forums will not be going anywhere!
This personal decision was made due to a multitude of reasons. Some of which are related to events that have taken place in the past that the public is very aware of, as well as events that the public is not aware of.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating MORDOR, DEMISE, the original HORIZONS, and the DOMINION/UNIVERSE design and prototypes.
Unfortunately, I have not enjoyed the direction that the industry has taken. My passion is gone; and it has been for quite some time. As I witness the recent games that have come out, and are currently being released, it has quickly become apparent to me that the industry has lost its way; gone is innovation and vision - and to make matters worse, I do not see resolution to the current problems anytime soon. I've been a gamer all of my life, and the amount of copycat boring products that are being released seems to compound every year.
It's always sad to see another game developer close, and we wish the best to David in his future endeavors!
