[Fudoh]

there's no way to get in touch with the guys

just send an email and you'll get a reply. Never had any problems with any emails requests to them.

Looks like it's due in March or April?

tks for pointing to that link, Pyongyang

[gameoverDude]

MARCH?!? Well, fuck me Marie. This wait is almost as bad as Duke Nukem Forever. I'm betting on June but I'd like to be wrong.

It isn't for me :

Still no answer to mine...

But glad to see there's been an update on their site.

[TransatlanticFoe]

Yes, that security threat is legit. Norton blocked the same attack when I went into the site but still let me onto the site.

[RNGmaster]

Norton

lol

[Udderdude]

In this case Norton is right. There is some EXTREMELY sketchy looking javascript at the top of the page that looks very much like an obfuscated hack attempt. Someone needs to contact those guys ASAP and tell them they've been hacked.

And don't visit their site until it's been cleaned up. This should go without saying.

[Retrogamer]

Has anyone been able to reach redspot regarding the virus on their site?

[Retrogamer]

Is there any news? I am desperate to hear something, anything...

[Udderdude]

I don't see the malicious Javascript in their HTML anymore, so they may have fixed it.

[bobusan]

@Retrogamer : The communication with Respot is down. I tried to retire my Sturmwind preorder, but without any response at all. Nore by phone or mail since a month.

I hate to say that Redspot is now on my blacklist.

[fiveofive]

Too bad, I guess Redspotgames are overloaded with work. However, as a positive note, now the developers Duranik themselves will provide news and status information on the game development on their website, as recently announced on their facebook page:

[moonblood]

They've updated it now

there's been some talk about redspot etc as well, here

[bobusan]

thanks for the links moonblood.

Duranik has to make RSG's work... Incredible.

[-SD-]

Nice to see they have time to update their website with photos and cover art, but still no mention of a release date.

I was under the impression that the delay was due to the CD pressing plant going out of business. But now it seems that the developers are off adding more feature like SD Card support for photos. Which is nice and all, but if the game was already complete I'd rather they get it pressed and out to customers that paid for it a long time ago.

New screenshots are up, no more lifebar...

[bobusan]

That is beauty. If gameplay is as good as gfx, that will be something for sure.

[Udderdude]

They actually removed the lifebar? Will wonders never cease? :O

[Kollision]

damn why won't these people release the damn thing already
damn

[Jeneki]

Hopefully the lifebar is really gone, and wasn't just replaced with something like the usual screen-goes-weird-and-turns-more-red garbage found in this generation's action games.

[Udderdude]

Yes, I hate how they throw all that strawberry jam at the screen and you have to wait awhile for it to slide off.

[louisg]

Anyone heard anything about the release date on this? I was thinking of maybe ordering a copy of this and Rush Rush Rally Racing, but the shop says "not before March", yet here we are at the end of March.

[Estebang]

Hopefully the lifebar is really gone, and wasn't just replaced with something like the usual screen-goes-weird-and-turns-more-red garbage found in this generation's action games.

GaiaSeed, anyone? No strawberry jam, but same mechanic. I'm surprised there hasn't been a euroshmup with regen health yet (AFAIK).

[Gmintyfresh]

It's all gone a bit quiet again hasn't it?

[AmidstStorm]

They've seemed to have made some more changes to the package so hoping its for the better and they're still perfecting things. They do reply to comments on their Facebook page which is good

[Gmintyfresh]

Cheers mate will check that out, can't be too long now surely!!

Looks awesome. More interesting than Sine Mora.

[burgerkingdiamond]

It looks good visually. But it also looks as boring as the Soldner games were.
