There is a lesson to be learned from every failure, is what Zack Bell, lead developer of Frog Sord, is quickly realizing. Bell's game, a Super Meatboy-esque platformer starring a sword-wielding frog has fallen on hard times. Frog Sord, as it exists right now as a playable Alpha, is probably all the world will ever know of the frog and his adventures. Due to a conflict amongst the MECH6 team, Frog Sord development has been scrapped.What started as a great idea two friends had for a game, quickly evolved into an early prototype which picked up attention and support from players all around the world. Bell quickly found himself picking up additional team members in order to turn Frog Sord into everything he had dreamed it would be. During these early steps of the game's life, a few mistakes were made that would turn out to be fatal ones.In short, MECH6 took on investors that they were not prepared to do business with. The necessity of constant feedback to the investors strained the team's ability to develop, as no one on the team was really prepared for the business side of things. On top of the investors looming over the project, MECH6 made some legal missteps that ended up hemorrhaging the team's morale, eventually to a point beyond repair.
