>> Upon travelling to Ocean to explain the situation, Colin produced the 3 month demo again and stated that he’d be able to get the game back within short time. Sadly Ocean didn’t want to see it through any longer...

That's unfortunate as the second version likely would have been written much faster and have fewer lines of code.
