I just got an email from the Pier Solar guys - looks like it will be delayed because one of the team members wouldn't give them permission to use his artwork for the game (he left for whatever reason) and now they are set back by year! :( 
That wouldn't have happened if they had properly written contracts...

...or administered a severe beating.  It's sad, but there's always something delaying homebrew goodies.  :(

Here is the email about it:


Dear Fans, Followers and Customers of Pier Solar,
You will have received this email after people registered to our newsletter,
this is because our preorders emails aren’t stored in a mass mailing list
to ensure superior confidentiality and required a different sending method.
Thank you for your understanding.

As you may have heard in the last couple of months, we lost a member of our
graphics team and a year’s worth of their work on Pier Solar; we tried our
best to resolve the issues with this team member but failed.

Since then we have been working around the clock to try and replace the
graphics including what this team member did for the project, our resources
have been stretched to their limit and sadly we have been unable to
complete the missing work within a suitable time frame.

This issue combined with the enhancements to bring the graphic quality to a
higher standard has caused the project deadline to slip considerably.

It gives us great regret to announce that we will not make our 24th of
December 2008 deadline and will be delaying the game’s release until next
year.

If you have any questions or comments in response to this announcement then
please email enquiries@piersolar.com

Best Wishes,
The Water Melon Development Team

Or if the artist was in it for love of the console. I could see if they didn't want their work drastically altered, but this doesn't sound anything like that.

Well hopefully they can get the game out sometime in the near future. I'm guessing one of the designers was worried about his/her copyright or lack thereof.
