Yes, its true, my good pal PSMonkey has been forced to give up homebrew. Catching him on msn today, PsMonkey was pretty upset having to leave homebrew. "But why..?" we must all say. Well, at his new job from his vacation of 2 weeks, working with a major game publisher, his company he works for (sorry he has decided not to show it in public) has forced PSMonkey to stop releasing his homebrew scenes over his sites. Cleary stating why, he left a letter on his website stating that he has had to say good bye. But wait, as always, there is hope! With his 2 major projects up to thrust, he will be leaving the Sandbox physics demo and Iris 3D projects to fellow-enthusiasts.

Heres what PSMonkey/Penguin had to say:
"Yes Iris 0.3 is still coming. I have a few people
interested in redoing the game like I intended as
well as continue to progress KohKae engine.

Sandbox is also not going anywhere.
One of this scene's great coders is going to pick up where
I left off to continue the game.

Regarding my other projects, I personally will continue
my fight to conker N64 & DD emulation on the PSP. M64 will still continue
but no releases will be made public. I will how ever make my
DD research public once finished.

ngPsp 1.3 ( the neogeo pocket emu) is still coming,
A friend is gonna finish writing a GUI for my latest version.


Other then that, sadly all my other work is now dead
(new fps will migrate
into Iris 0.3, beat-em-up is dead).


That's it.


I will still lurk around and try to
help people out with technical info but it will
be sad to no longer work on homebrew
for the scene I loved so much. Yet who knows what the future
will bring and maybe I will end up being in a position that it's
legally possible for me to do homebrew again."




All though the man might not be making anymore homebrew
(for the time being) he will still be with us.
We hate to have you're projects not be lead by you, but we also hate to have you leave the developement shed.
So we give our final goodbye, and good luck for the future!

dam that sucks, well we all have things we do and dont wanna do.
but if Monkey really wanted to continue working for homebrew I
think he should've stick with it.

Back on topic.
Its too bad hes not in the scene anymore, I really enjoyed his sandbox, it just wont be the same if he isnt developing it.
