Is this game full on cancelled now?

[VirtuaTyKing]

No activity from the devs on here!

[Jinx]

Looks like it. No activity anywhere. Not a good sign.

"Hi everyone,

My name is Natalie and I work for Double Eleven. It’s a real shame that I’m having to say hello in this context but I find it necessary to come in and clear a couple of things up given the circumstances.

In 2018, Double Eleven acquired the rights to Voofoo’s staff and IPs (TiP and MB). We did not acquire Voofoo the company due to its financial situation, and ownership was retained by Mark Williams. The Birmingham office is still running and staff are still there doing amazing work (and being awesome humans). There is no longer a publishing team at the former Voofoo office, partly due to Double Eleven having our own in-house publishing team, which I am a member of. The wellbeing of the team in Birmingham, as well as the remote workers, was and continues to be of utmost importance to Double Eleven.

As far as we are concerned, This Is Pool is still in development and I hope to be able to share some more news with you in the coming months.

I appreciate that the radio silence has not been handled well on our side and I apologise for that. I hope that next time we speak it will be on a nicer note. I’m sure you can all appreciate that I cannot comment on individual team members and won’t be commenting any more on This is Pool until we have something more concrete to say to you.

Thank you
Natalie"

Reminds another game: Deadstick

If game is on Steam, means game not cancelled.
Stephen can't let this game disappear for sure.

Really wanna play this game! or even just test a beta!
Love pool IRL and would be cool to chill and play on my pc too when im not able to play IRL

I assume that this is cancelled by now. We're halfway past 2020 and haven't really heard anything in the past 5 or so months.

It's still featured on the Double Eleven website- https://www.double11.com/games/this-is-pool/

Thank you for your email.

This is Pool is still under active development but we don't have anything to share on a potential release date right now.

Thank you for your patience with this.

All the best.

This is the response i got when i emailed them a bit ago

[rossinabook]

Good to know!

[Boldson]

any updates. Its halfway through 2021 now

[Squeak]

Seems like we will never have it

[T1C0]

This game looked so promising

[BamBeakz]

Such a shame. Would even sign for hustle king on the pc. What is the best alternative?

ShootersPool (do a quick search for it), not on steam yet but can be bought from their site and played, works great, small but steady community. Think you'll get a steam key when it does come here, best pool/snooker/carom game for me by far. Tight controls, solid graphics.

This should be more recognised and widely supported what a great game and nice physics!
