Relentless cynicsm toward all things Insecticide continues to be justified (UPDATE: Or maybe not?) 15 Jan, 2010, 02:10 / 10 comments

The alleged shipping date for the PC retail Insecticide that I mentioned not that long ago has arrived, and now Amazon.com lists the availability status as "Usually ships within 2 to 3 weeks," which is a telltale sign that the game doesn't actually exist. Should my pre-order ever ship, though, I'll apprise.

Update: So if you view the page again, you'll notice that the placeholder cover art (which sported a "Part 1" and the Gamecock logo), has been replaced with a new cover with Southpeak's name on it, indicating it as part of their "PC Classics" line. This makes the release seem a lot more real, wavering availability aside, but the question still remains as to whether or not this will just be Part 1, or, for the first time, the entire game. We'll keep you posted.

    The design, FMVs, characters, and animation for Part 2 were finished, the levels were about 1/2 done, and then of course there was a lot of tuning to do. And, while I can't promise that getting half the game won't leave you hanging, if you've not played Part 1 yet, or only seen the DS version of Insecticide, the PC one is worth a look.

    For those interested, we're trying to get the FMVs to Part 2 posted on our YouTube page. I know it's not the conclusion we all wanted, but it may give some fans some closure. Remind me not to make any more games with cliffhangers though. :)

    Seeing as how we never finished Part 2 for the PC and know nothing about this, I certainly hope not. :)

    Oh man, I was getting my hopes up :(

    Now I'm not sure if I should feel vindicated or guilty for not buying part 1.

    How far from completion was Part 2 when Southpeak cut off funding?
