![]() It's a quote which offers a very different reading of the partners not wanting Tereshinski to release the game without them. "We made it clear that we weren’t going to let him do that, because we had a moral and legal right not to," he says. According to Monce, he suspected Tereshinski of trying to cut the partners out of the game. It then becomes a story about Tereshinski taking control of company property, bank accounts, social media accounts and so on. The picture he’s painting about that is 100 percent bull****.” It was part of our operating budget, it’s not anything that was excessive. “I don’t know why he’s painting that picture, but the reality is that anything that was spent in a bar or restaurant was very reasonable in nature when you look at any business, including video game companies. Monce calls Tereshinski's accusations "completely false" and goes on to address some of the specific claims: The partners, Tyler Monce and Devon Staley have since spoken to Game Informer to give their own version of events. "Resigning and cancelling Ant Simulator is really the only option available to me right now." ![]() He added that if he released the game without the partners they had said they would sue. "They had secretly spent the overwhelming majority of both our Kickstarter money* and the Ant Simulator investment money on liquor, restaurants, bars and even strippers." "I recently found out that my ex-business partners were secretly stealing company money," alleges Terenshinski on the video. That was because developer Eric Tereshinski had posted a video on the ETeeskiTutorials YouTube channel to say the game was cancelled and he had resigned. Then yesterday gamejourno Twitter was all "liquor and strippers and Kickstarter funds". Also it was an excuse to talk about the real life cool things ants can do. When I wrote about it back in September it was because there was a cool video about lighting and pollen effects and suchlike that had caught my eye. I'm going to give the basics of the back-and-forth as it stands at the moment in case you guys put money towards it or were simply looking forward to the game coming out and are wondering what happened.Īnt Simulator started out as a Ludum Dare game jam idea. This is because the creator's resignation from the project involved accusations that his business partners were using funding to pay for liquor and restaurants and so on, and they've now responded with their version of the story which details a a very different story. Things I am far less certain of: pretty much everything else that's happening regarding Ant Simulator Things I am relatively certain of: Ant Simulator is cancelled and I am sad about that.
