    KickStarter Underworld Ascendant is a disaster

    FanGamer needs to focus on quality assurance and follow-through, not clogging their pipeline with way too many contracts.

    Vapourware System Shock 3 by OtherSide Entertainment - taken over by Tencent!

    They have no money coming in, no support, little to pay out. Not sure how they could move forward. They had another game being conceptualized at the Boston branch.

    Vapourware System Shock 3 by OtherSide Entertainment - taken over by Tencent!

    And then there's the Digital Bros acquiring Smilegate's portion of the Starbreeze assets, and Starbreeze relying on sales of a single game to be able to move forward.

    She reported in August that she had started working part-time. She didn't leave out of depression, but her financial needs, and OSE-Boston winding down. If she says otherwise elsewhere, I'll update this. If the core members quit, and aren't absorbed by the Austin office, then that'll be the...

    The torches are just a burning stick of wood? No chemical or greasy coating, treatment, or wrapping?

    Game News Underworld Ascendant Update #19: Prototype Getting Combat and Parkour, New Screenshots

    The usual concerns are of 1., that they meet the deadline with a polished game for the expected player types who are long-time fans of Blue Sky+LGS; those who still wish for a return of what's been missing for them in the industry.
