GamingShogun received an official statement from Firesky, the game's developer, on the current status of their recently-thought dead MMO: Stargate Worlds. It seems as though the game is still in development, although definitely impacted by a shortage of finances. They are receiving and looking for additional venture funding though to see it through to release.

We just got an official statement from Firesky regarding the status, and recent financial troubles, of their still in-development MMO: Stargate Worlds. Listen up people, looks like we still have a go!

Official Statement:
The Lights are Still On and Stargate Worlds Development Continues

I’ve been asked from many corners lately to provide an official response to a story circulated by Gateworld.net. I spoke with Darren Sumner, the author of the story, soon after it was posted and gave him a detailed response to the article which he decided not to publish.

Our official response is that the lights here are still on and the development team is working hard every day to get this game built. Team members are in the office seven days a week to deliver Stargate Worlds. Brad Wright is the Stargate expert and a creative consultant on Stargate Worlds who advises us on the story; unfortunately we had not recently updated him on our progress or the impact from the current global economic crisis, and he was not fully aware of the continuing progress on our game....(Cont.)
