Enigma: Hotel Da Volta - Page 3

I'd like to know if there is anymore word for the release of Hotel da Volta.
I got my order in last October when news of the release came in.
The orders stand at a around 78%.
Should be sufficent enough to allow the add-on to mailed out to those who placed their orders.

what is the holdup??????

Any news?

I do find ENIGMA RISING TIDE a good game to play...the music, sound effects of gunfire and explosions add realism. The open ocean has the feelings and atmosphere of putting you on the spot. As it mentions -you are in command!
The game delivers...

When I heard that HOTEL da VOLTA was coming out and there was a chance of doing battle with HMS HOOD, I had my hopes to be able to move on to the next mision...battle with HMS HOOD.

I have come close in previous missions to attack the HOOD, But ran short on torpedoes trying to sink the escorts before setting up my sub for the attack.
Have to find another strategy for attacking.

The update was due for release in May 2008 I think, but still no release.
Just have to keep on waiting when the time comes.

Would be interesting if some news came out as to what the delay is on the update.
Whether work is still being done on it or is there a cancellation on the product???

Just a hint that it is still in progress.

hhmmmmm!!!!!!

There have been a substantial number of delays for various reasons. Probably the biggest being the new owners have had to change directions several times thanks to changing political and actual climate (they are in Lousiana).

At one point all code was lost and had to be rebuilt; this was around the end of May this year. The executeable has been reconstructed, several of the tools have been recreated and, as I understand, the only thing remaining is the completion of the missions for the campaign.

Word is it could (finally) be done in October - about a year after it was started.

The site is down.
It has been for a while though.
The deep-six forum however is still up and running.

So are we going to see or hear anything more on the HOTEL da VOLTA add-on?
Seems like its dragging on and on with nothing in sight.

Feels like they are lagging behind or just decided to call it quits.

It's taking forever to complete this.

There were posts by EAST a long time ago, indicating that he's had enough of it.
