Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much for reblogging past posts with non-relic castle links. I'm still so sad that RC went down. But again, thank you for all your time and effort you went to providing fangame details and links.

Thanks for the kind words anon ♥

Whatever the Relic staff come up with next, you can bet I'll be reblogging like crazy with the new links!

If anyone's dooming about the future of fangames I just want to say it's going to be okay. The community is pretty sad right now but not dead at all.

Relic Castle has moved before, the original Relic staff completely refreshed the forums by moving from a mybb site to a xenforo site and everyone had to remake their accounts and repost all their threads. This only made the site better to the point that no one really remembers the old site anymore.

Although the takedown was sudden and not planned his time, the staff have a complete copy/backup of the Relic Castle site.

This isn't the first time fangames have been mass-targetted for takedown, and I don't think it's the biggest either. GameJolt had 500+ fangames (multiple Nintendo properties, not just Pokemon) taken down a few years ago. Famously included at the time were the games Pokemon Uranium and Another Metroid 2 Remake. Most of these games can still be found, posted elsewhere!

Relic Castle's community has weathered storms before. Just since last year the site was able to quickly change providers after a DDOS attack, and the Discord members smoothly migrated to a completely new Discord server after a phisher got control of an admin account (fuck that phisher guy lol what an idiot).

Since Relic announced the site being down, the Relic Discord server hasn't slowed at all. Over a thousand new people have joined the server, and the development channels are still having normal discussions.

We're having a couple bad days but it's nothing we haven't gotten through before, the kinds of people who are crazy enough to spend years working on a fangame are literally the kinds of people who don't give up easilly.

#thank you for this!

Relic Castle is down 😭😭😭

I know and my heart is broken </3 For those unaware, here's a tweet. Relic Castle, the forum site where many fandevs shared their projects, has been taken offline. The Discord is still up if you're a dev or community member, but if you're only interested in playing games you're not gonna find any links or promotions there. The Relic Castle Community was a home for me for the last 10 years, and I don't know what's going to happen now. As for any game links on this blog, I reccomend using the Wayback Machine untill I can figure out alternatives and see how the community moves next.
