Since I felt Aytac should know about this thread, I sent him an email but unfortunately, the email failed. I guess his Yahoo email from the contact page from his official site no longer exists. There's probably a way to contact him somehow. There's a ton of people with the name Aytaç Aksu on Facebook so maybe someone who used to know him can locate him.

I've talked to him on MSN about a year ago, he's not interested in fan-gaming, nor sonic anymore. So it's pretty pointless to bug him.

On a serious note, this topic makes me half way want to finish Chaomega...

Really?! Wow. Strange how someone can be so dedicated to something like that and just entirely lose interest like it was nothing. . . Sucked, too. I was such a huge fan of Magicgrafx games when I was into Fan Games as a kid.

It's happened before. When was the last time anyone saw Simon Wai posting here?
So, that was a well-told tale 360. It is quite interesting to watch Internet drama happen, as there are so many things that can set people off. I don't see why anyone would get so defensive about an engine, but thats just me.

Sounds like to me he was just looking for a reason to quit (subconsciously, perhaps?) and you holding onto his engine was a good enough reason.

Considering he now thinks that the fan-games were a huge waste of his time, I wouldn't doubt that early on he wanted to get out, whether he actually knew it or not.

Seriously man I wish I still had the screenshots of the Chaomega engine to show you here.

I'm really curious about how Jungle Peace looked.

I've talked to him on MSN about a year ago, he's not interested in fan-gaming, nor sonic anymore. So it's pretty pointless to bug him.

Even though he's no longer interested in fangaming, it would probably be nice for him to know a thread about the history of Chaomega exists. If I was part of a once popular project that had a depressing history behind it, I certainly would want to know about a thread that revealed the news. >_>

Check your PMs Hez.

My curiosity explodes. <_< That would be totally awesome if the project gets revived.

Nothing more than secret levels in Sonic Classic 2, nothing to get too excited about.

I thought Sonic Classic two was gonna be something like "Sonic and Nack"?

Yeah, basically.

Woah, and here I thought that the various spats between my internet buddies were bad. I never even heard of Chaomega (in fact, the first Sonic fangame I ever played was Neo Sonic...Godspeed, I think? I remember there were a few fancharacters in it, and the main villain (from what I had played) was a fancharacter that was supposed to be Shadow's sister. Anyway, that was long after this series of events.), but now that I'm picking up the collection of every Sonic fangame pre-'05, I might check it out.

And don't feel bad about Aytac flying off the handle over you getting his engine. I know if a level I made without the engine sucked in the eyes of the public, I'd wanna get my hands on the engine just so I can actually make the next level on the engine and make it better. Sounds like Aytac was going loopy from the fangame development and just wanted it to end, so he took you getting the engine as the perfect opportunity to ragequit.

EDIT: Looking at that story again, it sounds like one of those rock band documentaries where at the height of popularity, the band starts getting on each others' nerves, and shit just goes downhill from there.

Except in this scenario, it all goes to shit after an EP or single is released before an actual album is finished. >_>
