Sorry for the absence, but rest assured that we're all working away and things are still progressing. We've been forced to delay the kickstarter campaign for another couple of months, but the plus side is that the demo will be much longer than the originally planned 1 chapter (it will now be 3 or 4).

The long and short of it is we didn't have enough backgrounds for the trailer video, so we have Giao hard at work making some more right now. That's really it, although I still do need to work out a few more details before the campaign goes live.

On that note, the demo we do have thus far (featuring the first chapter) looks, plays, and sounds great! My team has been throwing numerous ideas at me for other additions we can make, so I'll probably take the next month or so to implement some of the best ones. Really though, they're just added bells and whistles at this point. I couldn't be happier with what we've accomplished, and I can't wait to show off even more very soon!

Some of you have probably noticed that Mafiosi/Crime Opera IV has seemingly gone on a bit of a hiatus as a result of all this work on the trilogy upgrades. To those people, I want to assure you that the prologue chapters (that's 6 of them) are pretty much ready for release, and I'm just dealing with one last bug before I can get it out there for you. It was never an official hiatus, believe me, and I do intend to keep on writing chapters 7-30 over the next year with the hopes of getting back to a regular writing schedule. These prologue chapters took quite a bit of research and re-reads, which was a huge part of the reason for the delay, and so I won't have that issue going forward with the rest of it.

Thanks so much for your continued support and patience!
