Jonathan had planned some water level-changing puzzles and had a vague idea for the end of the game involving some beast being electrocuted by a toaster. The sewers didn't get much farther than the first room. In the first version, Riddle Transfer 2 was originally going to involve Phil, Zack, Phred, and Smiley escaping through a sewage system. He also felt a great amount of stress in making this game as he had underestimated the amount of time and effort that would have to go into it in order to make it satisfying for both him and his fans.Ĭome July 4, 2012, with a heavy heart, Jonathan decided to officially cancel Riddle Transfer 2 and the three games he had, at the time, planned to make afterwards. Especially with Jonathan learning a lot about character and game development, he felt the effort of this game wasn't worth the outcome. He felt himself drifting apart from his characters, all of which he had previously thought to be deep and interesting, only to be one-dimensional in reality.

As time went on, he found the story of the original game was rather weak and would cause the series to go downhill dramatically. While only about a week was spent being put into creating the story of the series, Jonathan intended to put forth years of work into this game. The original production of this game began shortly after Riddle Transfer. It was published on Newgrounds on May 25, 2016, the date of Riddle School's 10 year anniversary. There's a distinct possibility nothing will come out of this news post whatsoever, and that's fine, but I thought it was important to bring up anyway.Riddle Transfer 2 is the final installment in the Riddle School series. I do know that I have fans, but since I'm the focus of the fanbase and not actually a part of it myself, I can't accurately determine how people perceive me or whether they consider my work worthy of parody/tribute.

Now, I'm not so conceited that I'm hoping this will cause people to hop up and shower me with fan stuff. I'm sure that whatever you might have in mind with is better than the 'official ending' I shared with the world two and a half years ago. Permission granted! You could make a fan game, a fan comic, a fanfiction, whatever, I don't have to understand it, just go nuts and have a good time. If you happen to have an interest in unofficially continuing the Riddle School or Riddle Transfer series in your own way. So, here are my new thoughts on the matter:

Here are all the discarded plans: ' People have said it time and time again, and I didn't want to admit it, but yeah, that's kind of a terrible ending. I mean, I'm not going to finish it, so the official ending to the series was me saying, 'Riddle Transfer 2 is cancelled. What never occurred to me is the concept that anyone ought to be able to unofficially continue the series if they want.

At the time, I was worried that if anyone continued the series, their artistic vision would stray too far from my own, and the official end of Riddle Transfer would become something I wouldn't approve of. I feel like I've changed a lot since then, and I want to talk about something that's been brought to my attention a couple of times today.īack then, I stated quite firmly that no one had permission to continue the series in any way, shape, or form, and I remember my thought process behind that. It's been a while since I cancelled Riddle Transfer 2.
