The dark is almost upon us... There will be light soon

I have good news and bad news. Well, two bits of good news. The Velvet Assassin material we showed off at E3 was really well received, people are getting very excited about the game. So that’s great.

And the items that belonged to Violette Summer, that were stolen from the studio back in May? We’ve got some of them back! Unfortunately under the terms of the agreement we have with the collector who supplied them to us we can’t tell you which ones they were, or which ones are still missing, or even what we have. But it’s been a real morale boost for the team, and has reconnected us with the spirit of Violette Summer. And I can confirm they will appear in the game, as high-quality renders based on 3D scans of the items.

The bad news is that with this, and a few other things I can’t go into I wont be able to post on this blog for a while.

I’m really sorry about this, but we are entering a rather chaotic phase of the development cycle, and my time is really required elsewhere...
