Everyone is anticipating Sinjid 3 and Sonny 3. However, there is a chance that Sonny 3 might never come out.
Reason? Krin got cancer.
He does not want to make a big deal of it, but his conditions are getting more serious and serious. We, as fellow AG supporters, should really give him a hand, because it was Krin who made AG famous; it was his Sonny which introduced AG to the main hub of flash games at that time -- Newgrounds.
Now, Sonny 2 is out for nearly four years, and we have yayed for Sonny 3 lead in for three and a half years. Do you want our anticipation goes in vain? It is time to support our top producer.
If you believe in some religion, please pray for Krin. If you do not, then you shall wish for Krin's good health. Willpower is a very powerful thing and we shall hope that enough willpower will save Krin.
Alternatively, rich gamers might want to donate, and skillful programmers and artists might want to help Krin with the production of Sinjid 3 and Sonny 3. It's all up to you.
Today, it is the time to mobilize the whole AG community, to support one of the greatest producer in AG, to protect the glory of our community, and to express our love towards Krin's games.
I like the sentiments of your post, and the bit about communal willpower, but who cares if Sonny 3 does not come out? The fact that he has cancer and the fact that Sonny 3 might not be released should be kept separate from each other. I think that the opening post is good, and you have honest intentions, so I'm not singling you out in saying this:
I'm addressing people with selfish thoughts, more along the lines of "oh no, awesome game Sonny 3 might not come out." Not saying the people are inherently bad, but that these are immature thoughts.
I am vehemently against the call for other people stepping in and doing Sonny 3. One, it's like forcing them on him when he might really want to do it on his own. Unless you know him in real life, you can't really ask for something like this. It is his brainchild that he has dazzled the community with, really taking our thoughts and our opinions into account as he designs the games. This links into Two: If it's not majority Krin planned by Krin, it really isn't going to be Sonny. The third reason is the most important: The very notion of helping him out is like indirectly saying that he can't do it on his own. As if he is not going to make it and has a foot in the grave, that it's time for him to slap something together and toss it out to willing programmers while he slows things down. WE DON'T NEED THIS! HE WILL GET BETTER AND WIN THE BATTLE!!! After he wins the battle, you'll all be dazzled by Sinjid 3 and eventually will be amazed by Sonny 3. But the games don't matter.
I went and created an account - just so I could reply to this extremely important topic.
I have set Google to notify me of any news for Sonny 3, and I'm dismayed to hear the sad news about Krin.
I enjoyed Sonny and Sonny 2 immensely - in fact, I've played both games on and off for the past 4 years.
I agree, Krin was a pioneer, a true founding father for ArmorGames. These games were built on the back of people like him. I've been loyal to AG for years with its old games like Chaos Faction, Crush the Castle, and Dynasty Street - and especially the Sonny games.
I hope for Krin's recovery. Thank you for the link to his blog, and I would appreciate it if someone could also link to a place where we can donate? Or at the very least explain how.
Read what he wrote on his blog... wow... he is a fighter I hope you get better Krin!! Best Wishes to you my friend
Absolutely. Top guy, top game developer and despite everything, he's still working on games. The guy has every reason to just cancel his games and feel sorry for himself, but that's not what Jakrin is about.
Everyone here, if you've played Colony, Sonny, Sinjid or Flight, (to name but a few) then head on over to his blog and give him your support.
