Basically none of us was able to manage either our people or our time well enough, the only real artist we had left the internet for a while to do some real life stuff, I came back into the channel after a weekend of being away from the internet and saw there was one person left in there so I didn't come back, we could CODE but none of us knew WHAT to code or how to divide the labor up or anything.
We started out with tons of energy and it just tapered off because no one ever really took direction. I wanted to code, I didn't want to be the one managing people, and everyone I guess just decided "Oh I'll just let <person> handle the HR stuff" and we didn't ever get anywhere. Maybe we'll pick it up again some time, I personally (the one who came up with the original idea and a good amount of the original storyline) would love to do it because it would give me a chance to code again when I haven't done it for so long.
tl,dr - project died due to lack of real direction though I want to resurrect it at some point
