With the demise of Oculus Story Studio is this tool now going to be no longer updated?

According to TechCrunch:
As a part of the shutdown, Quill will continue to be available for
download in the Oculus store, but will no longer be receiving updates,
though Oculus plans to open source the software.

😞

Damn it, couldn't they move it over to the Medium team, who aren't part of Story Studio?

I really, really hope they open source it ASAP, but I'm pretty bummed about the studio closing. I only just ordered a Rift only for Quill, in the last week, and now it's stalled. If I'd held off a week I would have gone Vive instead. So frustrated.

But next week Quill will still be in the same state as it was a week ago (working and available) and we still have Medium and Tilt Brush.
While Vive doesn't have Quill or Medium (Well, might work with revive, but you have to pay instead of getting them for free).

Yeah, I'm still really glad that I invested in a Rift, even if Quill does only stay as it is...I really hope they can get the animation tools in there though, the stuff Goro Fujita was making with it looked epic!

Very sad to hear, that Story Sudio is closed. Quill is a very cool software with a lot of potential, in my opinion better than Tilt Brush. I hope Oculus will find a way to continue developement of this awesome software.

Medium and Quill where the two main reasons why I had bought the Rift. I'm not quite interessted in playing games. Creative applications like Quill are showing the real power of VR, they are gamechangers for creative people. VR technique is in a very early state and letting Quill go down now, would not be a wise decission for the future of this medium.

So sad... I bought RIft because Quill, Medium, and Tilt Brush... I feel Quill is the most powerful tool of this three apps.... The only thing it needs the ability to import meshes... Maybe with a grid shader so we can see the geometry because it has no lights....

@JavierVerdugo Agreed, Tilt Brush is fun to play with but Quill is an actual tool. I'm thinking that since they're making it open source that many intrepid folks will take the lead and add those little extras we've been missing - including animation!
