What became of...

[5MinuteRetro]

...is an intentional subject, because I suspect this could become an all-purpose thread for queries of a similar nature. But my reason for this first post is that tonight I stumbled upon this clip for The Button Bashers movie. I kinda, perhaps, maybe think I'd heard of it before but I can't really remember, and I sure don't remember this clip. So, at the risk of lots of Vega Plus-style eye-rolling from 'those in the know', could anyone tell me what became of this? A brief Google -- which is as much as I could be arsed tonight -- suggests no obvious drama, so much as something that just... didn't happen? Or what am I missing? From this clip alone it looks cheesily pretty good!

I'd backed it on Kickstarter, but it seemed to fizzle out, I believe they had horrendous luck with a couple of break ins at their studio & getting all their stuff nicked, no idea if it'll ever get finished.

Thanks. When I’m properly awake today I’ll do a bit more digging around, just for my own curiosity, but it seems a shame for this just to have petered out with little or no word from the originator — the company’s Twitter feed at least still seems active (so it’s presumably not gone up in smoke, like Retro Computers, or whatever was the mob behind the Vega Plus).

I've wondered what happened to this too. No reason appears to have been given for it's non-appearance though the studio still seems active https://www.elerbystudios.co.uk/
