Sorry it's been awhile since I've given you all an update on the remaining Shadow of the Villains related content to be released. I figured I'd give you all an update here, and clear a few things up.


1) Hardware Failures and Feature Delays

We're still wrestling with the hardware failures that happened at the end of August. Those crashes have not effected our live servers, but have left us without a machine to do new feature development and testing. As a result, it's been slow going getting some of this stuff finished up.


2) Flat Black

The Flat Black game theme has been available for players since August 28th. Nobody has yet uncovered the secret of Flat Black, so we've added an additional clue to help you out.


3) Books

We've added a new Books feature, with that we'll be expanding over time. For now, books are just something you collect for the point of collecting them. There are currently three books hidden in the game. You can read books you've collected from your detective page.

In the future, there will be other reasons to find and collect books, but for now the only thing you can do with collected books is read them.


4) Cairo, the Lama, etc.

The remaining content updates, including Cairo, the Lama and a bunch of other stuff will be up very soon. Possibly by this next weekend (October 7th-8th). If not then certainly the week after that. Once again, we're sorry for the wait.

Why would you want to read a book? They serve a much better function as blunt instruments. I thoroughly enjoy it when some blundering detective disappears amongst the complete set of encyclopedia britanica. Better watch for falling objects!

*Update*

Reading books now gives experience. You should only get experience for reading each book once.
