Well, this probably won't come as a surprise, seeing as I've been keeping kind of mum on Shades of Mystery announcements, but the launch will be delayed a bit. I don't have any hard dates yet, but it is safe to say that we will not be launching in October.
Most of the delay has been in the flash development, which is being done by other people and isn't entirely within our control. I was waiting to announce the date changes until I had a better idea of when the real launch dates would be, but I don't want to set another date right now and risk missing that one too so I'm going to have to put off announcing the new dates until I am more certain of what they will be.
We will be starting some limited beta testing sometime in the next month or so, and then open up for wider beta a little later. I will put up a form for y'all to apply to be beta testers very soon. That form isn't up yet, so don't go looking for it.
Anyway, sorry I can't give you more information right now, but I am confident that you'll agree it is worth the wait when you finally get to play it.

"for those not familar: you can have things Right, Fast and Cheap - pick any two"
Reminds me of the car thing "Quick, Reliable, Cheap. Pick any 2"
I bought a Lotus... well... at least it's quick.
I am quite glad that we have more time to dedicate only to Sleuth, because I am a Jonny-come-lately. (yeah yeah... it's better than Jonny-no-come at all... and as for coming too soon...*)
Can't wait until the great leveller... ;)
P.S. > Ben, could you please replace the Fighting Jacks that your dodgy but addictive game has just swallowed! (reported bug) ;) Much appreciated if you do....

OK, there is a form you can use up on the Shades of Mystery page to apply for beta testing.
We'll be starting some very small scale beta testing in late November, and then scale up testing as necessary, so don't be discouraged if it takes awhile to hear back. Beta test applications are currently only open to subscribers.

How small is "very small scale beta testing"? How many people are you estimating?

Does this remind anyone else of standing against the wall waiting to be kicked for a team in school and watching, waiting patiently to be picked.

So, any new updates on Shades of Mystery, Ben?
P.S. I'm signed up for beta testing! At your command, o powerful one! *bows* :-)
