Tron Uprising

Happy CLU Year to all TRON fans in 2017!

“but i hate the Tron movies they are so boring” 

Afraid I’ve got a bit of bad news. It looks like the Mac/Linux/SteamOS versions of TRON RUN/r have been cancelled.

Development on these versions were already well underway, not long after the release of the Windows version of the game on Steam. They briefly became available on the Steam store page (for one day) back in March 2016, but were then quickly pulled. (Note the Apple and Linux/SteamOS logos on the archived store page.)

Updates to the Mac/Linux/SteamOS versions continued behind the scenes until May 2016, but then stopped. So from June until now (October) there were no updates at all.

However, a few days ago another update occurred. They were removed according to SteamDB, and are no longer considered supported versions of the game.

Something else I’ve noticed, is that development on the Windows version of the game stopped in July after the Outlands DLC was released. So no updates for the last two months. Prior to this, TRON RUN/r was constantly being updated behind the scenes. But it might be jumping the gun to say that there may be no more updates or new DLC, so I’ll keep an eye out to see if the situation changes.

The Tron coaster is now open at Shanghai Disneyland. The lighting, the music, all on a laying down coaster like you’ve RIDING A LIGHTCYCLE.

memory: remember when they green lit tron 3 and then canceled it

I have received a response from Disney Interactive Support. Firstly, I’d like to share that I have been given the answer to Mission Day. Here is what I was told:

“We greatly appreciate your enthusiasm for the TRON series and TRON Run/r, and we thank you for taking the time to send us a message. While I wish we could have a more interesting answer pertaining to ‘Mission Day: May 14’, this was simply something that was decided to be included in the textures in game. Unfortunately, there is no deeper meaning to this.”

well that feels like a disc to the chest

It seems strange, and I think, perhaps, at the time of development, May 14th was pertaining to a release date. Regardless, there is our answer, and after the ambiguous email I’d received previously, it’s a pretty jerk move. BUT, what I’d like to show you is what they said next, and what it could mean:

“Keeping the above in mind, I’ve made note of all your feedback pertaining to the game and the TRON franchise, and will be passing it along for further consideration. With this said, we in Support are in a separate office from the other Disney teams, so we won’t have any insight on what comes from this.”

This feedback is going beyond TRON RUN/r. This is about the franchise as a whole, and what we say is being “[passed] along for further consideration.” Write to them, tell them about how much you appreciate the new game, how important continuing this franchise is, and how we, and the franchise, don’t deserve to be let down again. Be respectful, and be passionate. It’s up to all of us. One of the walls has been broken; speak and your voice will be heard.
