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.

Chelsea, I'm actually working on having more Arch Villain stats tracked on the AVL site. PM me if there are any you think I should definitely add.

Wow, not only do we have books, but also colour!! http://noir.playsleuth.com/map/cityhall/updates/books.spy - it's like Pleasantville ;p

I think the books are a great idea and addition, but one small thing (hope it's not a spoiler), some of them seem to end in mid-sentence, not sure if they're supposed to do that and be more like appetizers or...?

Perhaps Ben has to pay to reveal the rest of the transcript?

Yes Lucian, I can see Ben's thoughts now.
I will give them some of the stories, then when they are desperate to know the rest I add an option where users have to pay 50 dollars to reveal the endings. Think of all the revenue I could generate and all the people who would whine and leave the site forever. Finally I will be able to pay for those damaged servers. I am glad I never told people the truth of the matter, that in a moment of insanity I allowed Chelsea to "upgrade the internet" on the servers. Last time I fall for that trick.

LOL Chelsea I don't think Ben's that evil. But probably we can't get see the whole story due to copyright laws.

If they books are purposely incomplete, then I think the potential purchaser should be made aware of that. I would not have spent $20,000 Sleuth Dollars for a book had I known it wasn't the complete story. :(
