Well it's a positive thing in the long run, as Andrew says in there they have learnt things, and if/when they return to developing such a product again it will be much stronger for it.

Sad news if this is true. :-(
While disappointed I'm not surprised. Coincidentally this morning I packaged up my Xbox 360 and shipped/sold it to Amazon towards the purchase of a One. The 360 is on its way out so I can't see the benefits in developing Munchkin for this console generation.

The article didn't mention anything about developing for the One. Anyone know if this is being considered?

It doesn't sound like it. It sounds like the companies are going their separate ways. Not to mention on page three of this thread Andrew said:

"It's far too late in the process to shift gears from 360 to One now. And we've always said we're open to other platforms once the XBLA version is done, but we're learning so much about software development that we want to see this through before embarking on another project."

Booooooo-urns. :-/

Would still love to see this hit iOS in some form (but doubt that it ever will)

Agree with everyone here. I was really looking forward to this title on XBLA. The video I remember seeing with a preview looked promising. I'll go cry in a corner now. :-(

Being new to Munchkin I can't say I can really be upset at the same level as people that have been waiting for this...

but all that said,

It would be nice to be able to play Munchkin online. I guess the bargaining side of it could be a bit hard to create, or you would have to create options for 1st and last treasure etc which could slow the game down.

I am guessing these are the kinds of issues they were struggling to hurdle; I am not a game designer and wouldn't know an intelligent way to solve this issue.

There's a tabletop simulator game on Steam where you can play games but the game doesn't create rules, the players keep scores etc but that is probably too chaotic, especially with random players as opposed to friends.

Maybe one day in the future.

Hey guys and gals! It's Andrew from Marooners' Rock. Yeah, I got the news right from a SJ Games press release. Still I'm shocked it was canceled, but then again I still think a Munchkin game on Steam would be perfect as well and if later on bring it to consoles.

I'm pretty much platform independent, would just like to see it become a reality.
