Oh... And crescent moons tendency to actually communicate with their followers actually gives people the impression that ravensword will be released before Ossian, even though work on project Ossian started way before ravensword 2 was even announced

Communication, not hype, is key

true.SS has been in development for more than 2 years now and they still have nothing to show for it.regardless of what alan says it's difficult to believe that the game is even 10% complete.It looks looks like the perfect case of vapourware.No pics to show for after 2 years certainly means that the game is going nowhere.

Are you guys using the
Unity Engine?

I think I remember you guys mentioning screenshots were coming really soon, and that you were about ready for beta testing. Since that was quite a while ago now, I'm thinking that maybe you are just waiting for someone to ask...so...can we please finally see some pictures? Are you guys in beta yet? Are you still shooting for a release by the end of this year? Any news at all? Seriously, anything would be welcome at this point.

New screenies? Lol taking it with a rather huge amount of salt.

Folks, don`t be silly. Developing a Game isn`t as easy as it was once. It takes an huge among of Time/Manpower/Money/... and even more time to polish it enough to make it stand out.

The Shadow Sun is still on my Watchlist since Day One and I again can only say that the Guys should take the Time they need to finish it and release it whenever they believe that it is ready.

Sure, I totally agree. Take whatever time you feel is necessary to get it where you want it, that's fine, expected even. But what about those damned screenshots we were promised eons ago?! If the pictures are not indicative of %100 final in-game, that's fine just say so, we'll understand.

While I can understand where your pointing at i don`t get why it`s still so important that they deliver Screenshots of their early Builds.

Think about the Grand Theft Auto Franchise. We aren`t getting Trailer or Screenshots till they reach a Level of polishing where some others would already throw the Game on the Market while Rockstar is still polishing it.

Take a look at Bethesda and Skyrim. While they did obviously invested enough time to make the Game run solid on PC/Xbox360 the PS3 Version is the biggest Mess in Gaming on a Sony Console.

I don`t wanna see The Shadow becoming something similar and therefor I`ll accept that they need more time to polish the Game and not are doing some Marketing Stunt as Chair did with Infinity Blade II while the Game was still so damn bugged that even some other Developer pointed out that they would never relase such an mess and brag about it at the same time in almost every Interview that it did took them only like six Months to get it done.

For me The Shadow Sun has lost nothing of it`s magic since I play a Game for it`s Story and the hole Picture and not for how fast someone has created it out of nothing as long as I can see that the polishing Level is Top Notch and that the Wait was worth it.

i believe i agree with this, i don't wan't to se the shadow sun being a messi believe theres a good reason for the ossian studios have not showen any pictures yet, i'll give them the benefitt of the doubt, alan DID admit to announce the to early, but only doing so becouse of exitment of it. i still believe the game is on the way, an naiv as i am i believe it may be just around the corner!

Are you guys still shooting for an end of the year release? Will we even see this game in 2012? Am I the only one that cares anymore? Did everyone at Ossian Studios take a vow of silence? Do I need to take a vow of silence? Ha!
