Have just spied this on the Craneball official site, not sure of any release dates or whether it's still happening, but it does/did look quite promising. http://www.craneballs.com/2010/12/08/33rd-division-operation-payback/
Hmm character design Dec 2010? Does that give a hint at how long it will be before release? I.e how far through development do you actualy make characters?
Concept images can be very early, I've heard of a few devs around here say it was the first thing they did, even before they knew what the gameplay was
Hm, no replies to my e-mails to Craneballs yet, will update the thread if I hear anything. Looks like they're busy with Overkill at the moment..
I've no idea, you'd think that after 4 months they'd have something further to show than some concept art, so I can only imagine that it's been cancelled. Sounded quite promising though, especially with the "PS: You can shoot back" tease at the bottom of the page.. the fact that you can no longer buy the original game isn't very encouraging either.
