![]() ![]() ![]() Thirdly, we've found Lauren Mariko Wong, whose ArtStation I linked. Yeah, the Inktober guy did concept art for Dizzywood. Secondly, there's Jake Parker, a concept artist, who. And he still uses the site as recently as this month. He went on to work in Disney Interactive (which makes me wonder if he just has REALLY bad luck with MMOs because we all know what happened to Disney's social games), and is now CEO of a Spanish company called Softonic.Ĭharmingly, his Twitter still has a Dizzywood icon. Formerly he was one of the founders of Dizzywood's parent company. I haven't tried reaching out to anyone yet, but I might later on.įirst, there's Scott Arpajian. Would be nice to have more than two people actively interested in whatever happened here.Īlso, we do have a couple of names of people involved with the project. Maybe I'll stick this on the Wiki proper, but I thought y'all would like to know about it. I'm not one to make these kinds of dramatic claims, but I genuinely do fear that this stuff is lost forever, save for old YouTube videos and the like (there're a bunch of those!). When we were looking for Pyramid Party (the song) here on LMW, it looks like only four flash files were archived but no assets or anything. And the other person I'm working with just lost their last lead, and we're both pretty sure that Secretbuilders bought Dizzywood and chucked the files. The original company, Rocket Paper Scissors, is defunct. Here's some of the art.Īnyways, like I said: Dizzywood was bought my Secretbuilders. It was really liberal with customization of your character and their clothing, it let your characters have superpowers (you could fly and turn invisible, to my knowledge), and there were a lot of charming minigames and events and such.Īlso, it had this really. Maybe it's the nostalgia, but I remember Dizzywood really fondly. For what it's worth, they've also tried reaching out to people, mostly through Reddit and Twitter, though with little success. And the latest member is maybe the only other person on Earth trying to string together members of this long-gone community. I now have a server about a dozen strong. ![]() I know this because, for kicks, recently I put a Discord link in the comments of their most recent post. (Though also, the Facebook was active as recently as 2018? Who knows what's going on).īut people still check the blog. Admittedly, the fact they updated for about half a decade after the site's closure is impressive, but there's little there to work with and it's definitely dead now. , for what it's worth, has become a simple blog page that's gone untouched since 2016. It was bought out by another game, called Secretbuilders, which to my knowledge is also defunct or well on its way (the site is still up but seemingly not loading?). The reason it went down is, to my knowledge, some flavour of money problems. I was only, like, 10 years old, so I thought that everything on the Internet lasted forever. It went down around 2011, before the big ones (Toontown and Pixie Hollow, for example), back before people really thought about archiving things. And made me wonder.ĭizzywood is, in my humble opinion, probably the most likely MMO to be completely unsalvageable. ![]() A while back, some of you lovely people helped me find a song from this game.Īnd I'll be real, hearing that song for the first time in almost a decade? Made me sentimental. Okay, hi, I guess I'm making a thread about Dizzywood proper. ![]()
