I think the key word here is patience. An update will happen. But I know that the team has a lot on their plates, especially when trying to comply with Vivendi's "demands" and to continue production of the game. No worries. I don't think anyone will be disappointed :)

Thank you guys, remember I'm not the only working monkey here! There are SO many, and as I said, amazing is how Cesar after all he has to do he still finds the time to sit down with you and just work around anything that he could give a hand for. I wish my real boss would be just as good as he is.

We need great people working with us but we also need the fans, the fans were the ones that gave us a BIG lead with VU negotiations, so yes, you're the better half of POS ;) You help by being around, supporting us, and most important of all by being as cool as you guys are <3

Every single POS team member is a working monkey in my opinion! And I wish my boss(es) would be as nice as Cesar. They just tell me randomly, DD, take this out for me, bag at number 10 for me, go on fifteen minute break, stuff like that... (I used DD instead of my real name...)

The sad thing is now with VU in control nothing really seems to be happening at least as far as the fans can see it.  The website journal used to be updated frequently and this website was updated with lots of stuff all the time.  Unfortunately, now that VU runs the show everything seems to be on hold as far as the fans can see.  Keep up the good work, POS and let us the fans know if there is any way that we can push VU to let you have more control.

The problem with 'control' itself is that we can't post about something that we're not sure of it when we say it, because if VU takes long to reply or something else comes along, maybe we can't launch something or pass on some info to the press, so POS would look bad to annouce something and not deliver, so obviously, it's... somehow suffocating because when it comes to deadlines, we're also in the dark, but at the same time, we're legal which is something to be quite happy about... so it's a bittersweet emotion.

So, regardless of the new limits (time, money and now asking for permission! as if we needed more!) It's all good, not many fan groups get to be where we are, not many achieve so many good things in such a brief time. So as Catherine said, patience might be a good thing to consider for now. We're doing the best at hand at the moment.

Thanks Say!  I just hope that the website will end up being updated in May.  Keep up the good work!   ;)

Well, guys, I have been silently following The Silver Lining project for a while. Sadly, due to school and work, I did not even know that the project had at one point been shut down....how depressed I was when I read that, not having read the news that it had been approved to start up again. But then I saw what Vivendi said about allowing the project to continue. YAY!! I just want to say this: even if the updates take some time to make it to the site, due to what dew7 said about being SURE about them, I think that I can speak for most of the people here when I say that it is worth the wait. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up, and just post something here and there to let us know you're still alive and ticking, even if it has nothing to do with an update.

I'm going to reply and not for our new poster over there that apparently has got plenty of time, but for our forum friends.


Well said let’s hear it for Say!
YAAAAAA!

Anybody who comes in complaining, especially thought who won’t take the time to register, and who won’t take the time to read the FULL “The Silver Lining” thread really deserve whatever repercussions occur. I did at the beginning of the year and it answered all my questions. Since then my morning work ritual includes checking this forum to keep up to date.
   POS keep up the good work. We understand that any decrease in updates and delays in the game are pretty much out of your hands now. It’ll come out when it comes out and I and many other will still be patiently waiting.

OK lets hear it for all the hard work and long hours put in by POS.

con it be confirmed confirmed that kq9 will be released in 2006?

OMG!  I just did a random google on the old school stellar series that I played for hours on end to see if anything good was happening and I find this huge fan dedicated project!  This is truly killer and I wish you guys all the best of luck in your effort.  If you make something decent that isn't the POS that number 8 was then you all will have made your bones in the gaming world.  Again good luck!!!    !!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the front page kind of confirm it's coming out in 2006? I can't imagine why it wouldn't, seeing as how the game was scheduled to come out last winter, and the team only lost a few months of production...

The decision on when to release the game is not solely in the hands of Phoenix Online Studios. The decision also rests with Vivendi Games.
Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes...

What interest do they have in the game's release date, of all things? It didn't seem as though AGDI had any problems with their games release dates: once they were done, they were released.

I'm not saying Vivendi ISN'T restricting POS, just that it is bizarre to do so.

Oh, and the confirmation it's coming out in 2006:
QuoteWe are still unsure of our new release date, but we can say that it will happen somewhere during 2006.

It's actually not that bizarre.  KQ1VGA and KQ2VGA were developped and released prior to their interaction with Vivendi.  The release of those games were not subject to Vivendi's approval.

I'd have to go with Yonkey here on this one... I didn't actually know that, but I'll pretend I did! But it does make sense... VG just saw POS's KQIX (now TSL) before it was finished because the trailer was making a huge hit online... You didn't see a trailer that was that well done from AGDI, now did you?

AGDI didn't have trailers. KQ3VGA does though...
