> Because they've been unsuccessful in completing the reboot, releasing the sources is a way of apologizing.

Where are you getting that this release is an apology for the failed Kickstarter? Can you point to source at Nightdive saying this, or are you just speculating?

Linking this without context suggest it's an answer to the parent's question, which was asking for proof this was an apology.

The post is them stating that they're releasing the source code as a celebration of a big update, not as an apology. The only people saying it's an apology are speculating.

Sounds like pure speculation (unless grandparent has more info to share).

As far as I know, the project's scope grew out of control so the project was put on hold for several weeks.

But it is now worked on again, with the initial, smaller scope but the new engine.
