Current status

[DasJan]

Hi there. Can you tell us what are you currently working on? Writing dialogues? Designing puzzles? Or is the design complete and you are simply waiting for the developers to finish putting everything together?

[Noah_Falstein]

We've done the design except for a few small pieces and the inevitable course corrections. Hal wrote the dialog, and that likewise is mostly done, but will require a few changes as we test and tune the game and add a few things. We're having regular Skype conferences with Marc Buro, the DTP producer who has shepherded the game, and will continue to be involved as it is finished.

Any estimations on the release date?

[dtp_Betty]

The Release will be in Q3 2008.

[Bolles]

Are there any screenshots you can post here?

[dtp_Betty]

Ask Hal and Noah *wave*... :-*

[Hal_Barwood]

From what I understand, the release date is Q3. I think the reason is dtp's acquisition of the development team, formerly 4Head and now Cranberry.

[dtp_Betty]

Year, Hal, you're right, that's the reason why...
We had to do some restructering etc.

Pleeease, give us some Screenies!

[Noah_Falstein]

Here is a screenshot (if it is not too big for the system).

4head made a Nintendo DS game for dtp. Any plans on converting Mata Hari to this (or other) platform(s)?

[Bolles]

F�r alle, die den Screenshot nicht runterladen k�nnen/wollen...

Let me try another image, this time hopefully in the message itself (I have a feeling I'm doing this wrong...):

Definitely a good idea, Alex, but actually we can't say anything about such plans...

[Noah_Falstein]

Oh well, here it is as an attachment

The last one at the station remembered me one form the Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix, that was posted in Hal's interview to Adventure-treff not so long ago... There were also a train... but somewhere in Moscow though inscriptions were supposingly in greek... :-)

I like the screen in the first screenshot. Nice, theatrical ambiance.

What kind of restructuring? I hope not the "cut 2 chapters from the game" kind of "restructuring"...

[Noah_Falstein]

Time to say goodbye! I have to prepare for a trip tomorrow, thanks everyone for coming, and we hope you enjoy the game.

[Noone]

Thank you for being here and answering our questions. Hoping to hear any news soon and of course waiting for the game. Good luck!

[Diduz]

Thank you and bye.
I can't wait to play Mata!
