G2k1 is NOT dead. Me, Konidias, Inferno and soon (if Konidias allows me to hire him), Codein also are working hard on it. I am responsible for the scripting and a bit the levels. Konidias does levels, graphics and a bit ganis (I think, not sure about ganis), Inferno does levels and Codein will do levels, graphics and a bit ganis. I am also waiting for Saros Kazuma's tryout for ganis, and perhaps I will add him aswell. So G2k1 is definately not dead, since we are still updating a lot, every day.
You can help by becomming staff, see the thread about the hirings.
