Problemas en Auran

[llebrez]

Hace unos dias que ha circulado la noticia de algunos problemas en Auran Australia. Parece que han cerrado una division que hacia otro juego y han sacado mucho personal. Insisten que Trainz continua sin problems, pero hoy el sitio de Trainz "experimenta dificultades" y no es accesible. Esperemos que las cosas se arreglen pronto...

[Engrasador]

Algo debe ocurrir, si, ya que el iPortal Server, lleva varios días caido, la gente de Auran dicen que no conocen problema.

Salut.

Los problemas empresariales en Auran son de mucho más calado de lo que pensábamos, a tenor de lo que se puede leer en su foro, por ejemplo en el hilo http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=19895

Según dicho hilo, personas muy significadas en el proyecto Trainz, como Lance Lago no han visto renovados sus contratos y los usuarios temen por el futuro de este simulador.

Un portavoz de Auran reconoce la difícil situación:

Aidan Millott (Lead Programmer/Co-Producer del quipo Trainz de Auran) indica en http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthre ... 895&page=5

"This is a dark time for Auran, we have had to down size in all aspects of the company. Trainz is still going ahead the current Team is Me (Aidan) Lead Programmer/Co-producer, James Moody Programmer/Community Manager, Megan Berry 2D/3D Artist. Rob will be back very soon we hope too. "

Sigue una somera descripción de la situación.

Espero que alguien con la capacidad de Lance Jago continúe en el mundo de la simulación ferroviaria, porque le pone ganas y por beneficio de los que nos gustan los "simuladores de trenes", se llamen como se llamen.

"Australian PC game developer Auran is facing financial difficulties and shedding many of its employees this Friday, Angry Gamer has learned.
[...]
This news comes only a few weeks after the release of their PC "PVP MMO", Fury, and Battlestar Galactica on Xbox LIVE Arcade. "Fury was a financial disaster, it lost Auran a lot of money", one anonymous source told Angry Gamer."

"Auran shuts shop
Australian developer of Fury goes into administration; all staff laid off.

A company insider--who refused to be named for this article--confirmed that administrators have taken over Auran Development, the parent company of all Auran companies (including publishing arm Auran Games). The administrators will meet with company creditors in a month's time to decide whether Auran goes into full liquidation or is restructured. Auran had close to 70 employees working at its Brisbane office. The insider confirmed that all staff will be paid for their work to date, plus all annual leave entitlements, redundancy payments, and long service leave.[...]"

Por su parte un miembro del staff de Trainz señala lo siguiente hace unos minutos: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=19927

Destaco lo siguiente de este mensaje:

"A few staff members have been re-hired under Auran Games to continue working on the current titles. This means for Trainz we now have a team of 3 people myself (Lead Programmer/Co-Producer), James Moody (Programmer/Community Manager), Megan Berry (2D/3D artist). We also hope to have Rob Shaw back on the team very shortly. But we have had to let go Lance and Alan and they will be dearly missed by both the community and the team team that remains.
[...]
Currently we are still working on Trainz Classics 3 and we still do hope to have this out early next year. The future after this next Trainz Classics is not as certain of yet with many talks going on between the team and management about were we go from Trainz Classic 3 but be assured that there will be another product.
[...]
Trainz will continue as long as there is a community to support the product, so this time now it is very important for the community to remain together."

hola. javier

tengo puesto en el disco el trainz y un montonazo de cosas bajadas de ls ds. con el RS estoy fliopado pero no se si desintalar el train

lo que no entiendo bien es la movida de si vam a seguir, pero yo de ingles ni papas

te importaria por favor traducirnos para los que no sabemos ingles lo que dicen los de auran ¿?
gracias

[javierfl]

Por desgracia carezco de tiempo en estos días para traducir lo mucho que se ha escrito sobre esos temas. Recomiendo usar alguno de los muchos traductores online que hay en al red para tener detalles.

Por resumir, Auran ha tenido graves dificultades financieras, achacadas por algunos al fracaso comercial de su juego "Fury". La empresa tiene unos nuevos administradores, se ha fraccionado y se ha despedido a bastante gente, alguna muy significada en Trainz como Lance Lago, de tal forma que sólo queda un equipo de tres personas para Trainz. Por todo ello se ha creado bastante incertidumbre sobre el futuro de este simulador.
