Cancelled 16-Bit Platformer, GameCube Adventure, Episodic Game-Series (Patreon)

Keeping up with our necessary queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 3 cancelled games to the Unseen64 archive:

Popil [SNES]: an obscure platform game that was in development by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo / Super Famicom. This lost project is practically forgotten today and there was no proof of its existence online until a couple images were found in Console Plus magazine (issue 1): https://www.unseen64.net/2020/08/25/popil-sunsoft-snes-cancelled/

Buciyo 5 [GameCube]: after Sega discontinued the Dreamcast in March 2001, United Game Artists and the other Sega teams started working on the competitor’s consoles, creating new titles and porting their old classic or unfinished games to Xbox, Playstation 2 and Gamecube. In the following months some members of UGA worked on ports of Rez and Space Channel 5 for PS2, while the rest of the team started developing  two new projects: Rez 2 and Buciyo 5 https://www.unseen64.net/2020/08/25/buciyo5-bumbling-gamecube-cancelled/

AOSphere [PC]: cancelled point & click episodic adventure that was in development around 2008 – 2009 by Widescreen Games and Identifiction for their streaming-gaming platform on PC. At the time it was quite an ambitious and original project, anticipating both popular episodic games such as The Walking Dead (2012) and Life is Strange (2015) and live-streaming gaming services: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/08/24/aosphere-identifiction-cancelled/
