| Hmm, trouble with Starscape is they are actually cel-shaded 3d models. They look lovely in motion, but are a bit 'ropey' as static images. Sadly we didn't have time really for rendered intros and the download size would have been massive. it's nice though because you can take a snap of them from any angle without having to redraw. |

Just remember... 3rd Quarter 2008 (I bet Poo Bear regrets ever saying that, lol),
I hope you guys remember that you still have a lot of fans out there who are waiting for your next game! |

We're still here. We spent a long time following up 2 projects we were approached about by some major companies but sadly they didn't get green lit. Hence the delay. Project 3 is under way though - we haven't disappeared.

Aren't there still any news about new Projects? It is relatively disappointing surfing to moonpod.com for several months without any news on new Projects. Maybe a monthly Moonpod newsletter or something like this would be great for showing progress to the interested audience.  |

There is a newsletter, just to call it irregular would make something like the Olympics seem regular. |

Well, the Olympics seem to be held quite regularly -- every 4 years -- don't they? :-) |

Not what I mean, but I hope you get the point. |

You might be right, but I think it isn't very healthy for small game companys to have a newsletter that irregular. I almost thought Moonpods website is dead because there aren't any news except some reviews.
I bought and liked both Moonpod games and I am really looking forward to hear news of new concepts/ideas/projects/whatever. It would really be a pity if Moonpod would vanish from the scene just because of a unlucky frequency of publishing news. |

| We're still hard at work. Rest assured that anyone who signs up for the newsletter will get to hear about the new game. It's true that we don't send out newsletters very often, but we do post here regularly and answer any questions. |

Most of our time is still spent putting new tools together and prototyping our new game - which is now on prototype number 9. I love making predictions on the forum as I'm always proved wrong so here goes. This new game will be out in the 3rd quarter of 2008. Ha! There, I said it. |
Was 2008 a typo? Did you really mean 2009?  |

Unfortunately we decided to work on the prospect of a project for a major publisher. It was an amazing idea, the American arm were great to work with but the UK arm didn't seem into the idea (though they were subsequently closed). Sad as it was that happened we still think it was a great idea. Has delayed us massively though, but was worth a shot at. |

| Hate to sound like a broken drum, but its now almost april, and there hasn't been a hint at anything upcoming. i completely understand troubles arise, but is there at least something we can wrap our hopes around? |

| We've both had to take on other work to keep the home fires burning so things are running at a slower pace round here than we'd like. Making progress just in your spare time is slow going. |

As truth as the sun is shinning. If you manage to develop a game in your spare time you are my heroes 
Good luck!!
(I just re-view war angels video, what a pity for a so good looking game) |
