The absence of Friday's News since the 22nd August can be fully explained in a document the size of the bible, so here is the short version.
All studio work for KnightShift has been completed.
And it has been along hot summer in and out of the
studio. Outside it was very hot every day with temperatures
similar to those in the Sahara and any one with any
sense was out enjoying it.
Some of those without any sense spent a lot of time
moaning about the heat and how they wished it was
pissing down. And one or two never knew if it was
night or day as speakers came and went, and the days
and the weeks. And summer!
I would once again like to thank all the speakers not only for their hard work, but also for a very entertaining and amusing season. And of course the fun we had in the studios is reflected in the recordings.
On the German side there is a bit of quarrel about
some test report on KnightShift by a well-known gaming
magazine, this quarrel continues with a lot of backwards
and forwards of points of view and arguments. What
is true in this, is that the afore mentioned gamer
mag has made an immense cock up, but what is worse
is that it cannot be publicly admitted and an apology
made. Not an apology to us, an apology to the readers
of this rag who have been misinformed about a new
game soon to be released. As a gaming fan and customer
of this most popular magazine I would not be happy
learn that what I read is not worth the paper it is
written on. Please read on, this is not just another
attack on the press from a production company that
feels it and its products have been maltreated, but
an attempt to show the situation a little more clearly.
And we are also not entirely innocent in this. Reactions
came thick and fast and not always very well thought
out. This has now all escalated in the forums of course
and there is even more crap circulating none of which
resembles any part of the truth. Doesn't it make you
sick? The situation now is no more than a clash of
egos. Bad for us and bad for Game****. Worse for their
readers.
Right that's that really for this edition of Friday's
News and as I want to sign I have realised that there
was something else to tell you.
KnightShift, the German version is due to
be released on the 29th of September.
And there is no fixed date yet for the full English
version. Patience please, readers of this page will
be the first to know when. Serious negotiations are
being concluded for KnightShift in the Benelux countries
and there are ideas pure for the rest of the world!
The weekend is gnawing at my heels and I shall be doing my best to reduce my acute sleep deficiency, so I wish you all a good one too.
