Nope, although I got a chance to play Kingdom Hearts in Beta.  Odd
mixture, but it worked surprisingloy well I thought.

Yup.  Gulp.

I doubt the project will get ressurected anytime soon.  They just
didn't see all that time and money as justified when compared to the
cost/profit ratio of "So You Want to Be a Millionaire?".  As for
using the ideas... I always see these buried projects as at least
opportunities for some concept and play testing that might lead to
something else (Although I'd really like to work on a project that
actually launches again - it's been a few years!).  The issue of who
owns what gets a bit tricky, but in practice ideas are hard to
police.  I'm already applying some of the dynamic world stuff
(allowing players to directly impact world and
story)... elsewhere...
