[Windows Phone 7 General] Yamishi:
Cross-posting this from a thread I made over at WPCentral:

Seriously, this game is the biggest disaster and disappointment in WP7 history. A great (though not perfect) tower defense game is bugged, bugged again, and then swept under the rug. Why? I paid for this game, and now I can't even play single player modes, because there's no server.

What would it take to have the server restored? Why has no one dug through the mess of stupidity to try to get this game back?

Twin Blades left, but later came back. Is there any hope to be held for this game as well, or are we just left to forever have this black mark on our phones (and, in some cases, Gamercard as well)?

I only have one achievement remaining anyway, and it's not even one of the glitched ones. Who owns the servers and who can I pay to get them back up? Seriously, I got money to throw at this if it'll work.

Edit: I am also trying to do some digging myself, and I discovered the page of Charles 'Chicky' Surmonte, an individual who worked on Project: Sunburst. I dropped him an e-mail (a few months ago) requesting information on who I can contact for more details about Sunburst.

I still have the game on my phone, and check it every once in a while, just in case the servers came back up for whatever reason (maybe a new version, a la Twin Blades?).

Seriously, this missing achievement is bugging the crap out of me. It's killing my entire Gamerscore hunting buzz. The main reason I was drawn to Windows Phone was because of its Xbox Live functionality, and now I'm getting games that are broken and permanently unavailable.

Does anyone know anything that could help us get some answers?

I just want the servers back, even if it's only for a couple of days, so I can finish the last achievement (which, in my case, isn't a bugged one). Moreso, if I could dream, I wish we could get the entire game back. But none of this can happen until we find out who made it.

All I've figured out is that it's a "SEED Studios" which is allegedly a part of Microsoft Game Studios. Anyone up for some more digging?

By going through GiantBomb, I found this website: http://www.seed-studios.com/

Obviously, it's not 100% confirmed as being theirs, since the information on GiantBomb may be user-submitted. But it's (possibly) a start. I sent them an e-mail, asking if they were, in fact, THE Seed Studios of Project Sunburst fame.

Gamespot suggests that Seed Studios has a website here: www.seedstudio.com/ -- I sent them the same e-mail I sent the other Seed Studios. I swear I'll get to the bottom of this.

Lastly, I found an interview here:

https://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Crackdown-2-Project-Sunburst-on-WP7--Xbox-LIVE

It features a couple of guys who are part of the Microsoft Game Studio team, which according to the previously-linked page of Mr. Surmonte, has the Seed Studios as a part of it. From there, I found this:

It's a website with a podcast hosted by a handful of MGS guys. Naturally, this led me here:

http://www.facebook.com/platformbiased

Where I will try to get a hold of someone who actually worked on Project Sunburst, or maybe find out where one of the creators can be contacted.

Does anyone else want to help dig around?

I mean, I don't need them to update the glitchy game, or even re-release it, I just need the servers back so I can keep playing the game I paid for (and get that last achievement). If there were any way for me to run the server code, believe me, I would. Failing that, I'd like this stain removed from my Gamercard. Anyone know of Microsoft ever removing a game from a Gamercard for any reason other than cheating?
