Is Bungie Aerospace still a thing?

I was wondering, is Bungie still seeking to be an incubator for independence game developers through their Aerospace program? I know that Crimson Steam Pirates was probably only as popular as it was because of the backing of Bungie but they have yet to announce any more partnerships and all hints of the program seem to have disappeared from the redesigned website. The only trace of Aerospace left is the [url=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/aerospace/]old website[/url] and the clearance Aerospace t-shirts in the Bungie store. So is this program discontinued or not?

  • Most likely focused their efforts on destiny, it has to be good otherwise the entirety of bungie will most likely fade away.

  • I'm very certain that Bungie Aerospace is alive and well. Afterall, [url=http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76597070&postRepeater1-p=2#76597177]Enormous Corgi[/url] linked someone to the application page for Bungie Aerospace back on December 30th, if the program was truly dead and abandoned, why would he do that? What you folks need to understand is that Independent Development is not a pretty process. It can take several failed game concepts before you find something that's good enough to push to completion, and even then it can be a slow and arduous process. It would be nice if we had a bit more information about how many different groups are working with Bungie Aerospace at the moment, but it appears to be alive and relevant still.

    • Maybe it just didn't work out as they planned.

    • Oh yeah, Aerospace was a big deal when it came out but it kind of just faded away

    • Oddly, Aerospace being totally forgotten about reminds me the Microsoft Years. Not something i'd expect by bungie but in the end, it seems clear for years there has been no news from it, not even a cancellation announcement. Pretty disappointing.

    • Remember Apple's Ping? I'm thinking Aerospace went to the same digital hard drive in the sky as that.

      • I'm assuming that all of Bungie's mobile development has been focused on the Destiny mobile integration. They have publicly said that they are focusing a large amount of time and resources to that aspect of their new universe.

        • I think they just swept it under the rug and hope we will forget about it.

        • This was asked not too long ago. Pretty sure Bungie responded that they are working with a company with Aerospace company, with more to come later.

        • Maybe, There isn't any Aerospace stuff on this new site.
