Why I Cancelled An Award Winning Game

A project 10 years in the making, Axis Descending was a solo project built in a dying engine that was officially selected for numerous exhibitions, won a Taco Bell award, was one of the last games greenlit on Steam Greenlight and acted as the backbone of a tenure-track academic career. Explore the history behind the project, the lessons learned over a decade's worth of development and get an inside look into one of the most difficult decisions any game developer could make: cancelling a successful work-in-progress.
