Treasures Opened Collaboration
I'm not sure if I can lead this completely without you.I guess I could be a weird member of the collaboration. I don't want an official position because I'm not sure if I'll be able to fulfill it. Simply, I think it would be best for me to resign from every position, and allow you to direct the collaboration in a new chapter of the, well, collaboration. I will help, but don't rely on me.
would you consider staying to see how the new wave works out……?
should i create a new thread?

Thanks for reading,

Austinato's Official Resignation Statement as Community Manager of Treasures Opened
I would like to thank everyone for their contributions and efforts to Treasures Opened under my (and Xelophelts) leadership. You have managed to keep our collaboration on topic and productive. Without you all, we won't even have the collaboration. Scratcher Kart would have a goal of 2017!

Anyways, I've been busy recently and I feel I need to focus on things outside of this collaboration. I will officially resign my position as current Community Manager, and drop out of the team completely, because I feel as if I continue to run as my position, I will not be able to complete its objectives, therefore I am resigning before that happens, or before its too late.

Finally, I'd like to let you all know that I may come back if I am no longer burdened with tasks and when I feel I can fulfill my position as Community Manager of Treasures Opened.
Thank you very much for reading and see you soon,
Austinato
I wonder if there's a secret message?

I wonder if there's a secret message?You reckon you'll be back, eh. well I'll keep you in the hierarchy. I don't want to completely remove our founder, and it would be good to have at least on other person in the hierarchy when I start the new wave.

Hopefully this isn't considered necroposting; it's kind of old, but hopefully at least one member is here and it's barely over the one-month guideline.
I have been thinking of this collaboration frequently during my absence and sudden decision of departure. I have came to a conclusion to a possible solution to this issue of inactivity, that will possibly include some of you in case you are interested. The plan is that we maintain the same development team, but work as a new collaboration under possibly the same name or a new one, and the recruiting process will be heavily different. I could recruit a few experienced Scratchers, and hopefully we could get back on role in terms of development and collaboration.
I was already thinking that there could be a few projects that we could work on - an operating system that runs smoothly and has a team that could consistently improve it in the future, a traditional platformer - which I know everyone is tired of, but perhaps we could add new physics, an interesting engine, and everything to make it distinct from the simple tradition.
We could also improve our marketing and establish more hype, producing official trailer animations/projects that we share and a more stronger use of the Show & Tell forums.
So overall, here's what I am creating to hopefully recruit old contributors:
- A larger team.
- A possible new name.
- Focus on more simpler projects.
- Official trailers and expanded hype.
I would like your personal input from all of the members of Treasures Opened still interested and active, including Jim_The_Eagle and other supporters, before I start the new collaboration.
As a result of this plan, I was thinking that it is time to retire this topic, and move to a new one and start brand new.
(EDIT: However, I would like your input here first.)

Anyone interested in participating in the reboot found here will have a deadline of January 21, 2017 to declare interest in being a member of the transition team. The transition team will not have to submit any applications and they will simply be directed to the new topic. If you do not respond by that deadline but you do have interest after so, you will have to submit an application.
(Edit - Added link.)

Anyone interested in participating in the reboot (found here) must notify me or Jim_The_Eagle about their interest in joining it by 11:59:59PM EDT tomorrow. The transition team will not be required to submit any applications and be simply directed to the new topic. If you do not respond by that deadline but you are interested, you will have to submit an application later on.

Closure of Treasures Opened
Pardon the necropost, please.
Effective immediately.
The Treasures Opened (TO) collaboration has been a fun part of my time here at Scratch. Started in around September 2014 to develop a racing game, Scratcher Kart (2014), this collaboration has consisted of a few common members - including not only me, but also Xelophelt, Icey, and several more people. However, after that one game, the collaboration has lost productivity and activity. We started to develop a second game, with the theme of a RPG. That game had potential but development halted within a year. We struggled to recover from that, and we changed our focus to a more simple game starting with the brainstorming process. During this new period, barely anyone went on this topic - and that is not anyone's fault.
Everyone has moved on to their own things, outside of TO and outside of Scratch, including me. I believe that attempting to reboot Treasures Opened and resuming the development of either of our games would not be a reasonable choice at this time, and therefore I am closing this collaboration effective immediately.
We may return in the future, but the chances are slim. Please contact me if you are willing to finish a game independently or keep this collaboration running.
Games:
Scratcher Kart (developed and released in 2014)
LifeForce (development lasted 2015-2016; closed)
Untitled game (development lasted 2016-2018; closed)
