Stellarvox Community Bulletin – Issue #6

[Snowcrash]

Welcome to the sixth issue of the Stellarvox Community Bulletin

Some weeks have gone by since the last Stellarvox Community Bulletin and it is time again to provide you with some fresh information about Black Prophecy.

This time we have quite pleasant news for you. The responsible District Court in Hannover has abrogated the current insolvency proceeding of Reakktor Media GmbH’s assets. This means that we are finally out of the insolvency and again fully operational. With this huge obstacle out of the way, we are now in a far better situation for the negotiations with potential publishers. Having the insolvency sitting in our neck made things far more difficult and we are convinced that we’ll be able to provide you with more good news within the next weeks.

Into the future
The year is declining and Christmas is almost at the doorstep. To sweeten the waiting time until Black Prophecy is released we are planning a small X-Mas special eye candy for you. Of course we will not elaborate on this at the current time as it is meant as a surprise.

Art Director Nick Ebenhoch is nearly finished with his Art Direction Diary and will hand over the helm to Technical Director Cyrus Preuss. Cyrus will introduce the game physics to you in his multi-part diary and provide an insight into the technical side of Black Prophecy.

In addition we will of course continue the publication of new articles on the Stellarvox web site to allow you to dive into Black Prophecy’s background story even more.

Congrats, that's great. Hopefully the beginning of a series of good news stories like, "we have a publisher", "we are starting beta" and then "beta has started!"

Can that be the Christmas present please?

Kind of off topic but with the insolvency removed does mean you can get PayPal back for Neocron and start making money off it again?

This is great news. Looking forward to Beta and launch, as I believe that KK is ready and just waiting for a publisher.

[raykor]

Congratulations on the positive resolution of the insolvency. I am sure this is of great comfort to all the employees.

[YawShot]

Congrats on dealing with that little disaster... my heart would be broken if the game was put in jeopardy.

Also, OMG you gave kudos to my rambling!


I want beta! *picketing*
