News from the Giana’s Return team, but not mainly good ones:

Quote:

The organizer and the coder were catching a flu the past week. Both are almost recovered, but now the coder has gone on vacation for around one month. In the meantime he fixed minor problems, basically details.

Something else which just came to our attention is this: http://www.amazon.de/Giana-Sisters-ultimative-JumpnRun-Spiel-JumpnRun-Editor/dp/3828761445/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1204372120&sr=8-1

Seems someone gained the permission for an official Giana’s Sister PC sequel, which brings up the question if the word of the trademark owner is still vaild and we can still release Giana’s Return. In worst case, we just rename the 2 girls and change the titlescreen music remix.

Anyone got more info on that sequel/remake?
