AussieBacom, a known dev has logged into the IRC to start answering questions. he is still answering questions and will list them as they become appearent.

• Dev team is not in any sort of trouble, no one is leaving.
  • Confirmation via IRC: imgur.com/J8oFbWq
• There are a lot of things that need to get sorted before the project can keep going forward
  • Verification via IRC: imgur.com/s7sW5Ax
• The reason for removing what they did was because 'Everything is being evaluated for relevancy, organisation'
  • Confirmation via IRC: imgur.com/CaT54BX
• All development has been paused while they 'evaluate'
  • Verification via IRC: imgur.com/s7sW5Ax
• A new tool, being called 'Apex' is being built.
  • Confirmation via IRC: imgur.com/VJ6u1x3
  • More info about the tool from IRC:
  • <AussieBacom> "Ok so basically Apex. Apex is going to be a tool similar to Assembly. Assembly will become a componenet of Apex called Guerilla (after the Halo CE editing tool). Apex will also integrate a realtime tag editing and updating system called Sapien. So you won"
    

The dev that posted the original set of facts has confirmed these facts.

For those who don't know, there has been some mysterious goings on in the world of Eldewrito. the devs were nowhere to be seen for about a day, gits and websites relating to the project started going down, and things generally started to disappear. Gamecheat13 Tweeted, earlier this morning 'All great things must come to an end...' we didn't know anything until a dev came on to the IRC to give us some very limited information but in a nutshell, the development of Eldewrito has been paused (Note: NOT CANCELED)

Current Status of eldewrito related sites:

• Wiki: Down
