Shame they are having trouble with this as it looks really good. After seeing the video Yakumo posted it seemed as if it would be released soon.

Latest update from Devs (via email) ...

Dear redspotgames customer and fans


Sturmwind has made the next step toward completion: The current version has been delivered to the new CD production facility to complete a test production series.


Once we receive these test CD-ROMs, further compatibility orientated procedures will be done. When these tests went without any complications, we can make the final order to complete the production of the Sturmwind CD-ROMs and manuals. As you might know, the Limited Editon boxes are already there, among other components.


We wish you a nice day and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact the redspotgames customer support.


For now, the release date is still set to "TBA". We inform you about any change of it asap.


With best regards

Update ...

Dear redspotgames customers and fans


We're happy to inform you about a new milestone in the production of Sturmwind for Dreamcast.
The test CD-ROMs arrived and evaluation has started in the meanwhile. Since this is the first project we're realizing with this new CD factory, these complex compatibility orientated tests with all kinds of Dreamcast (incl. the portable Treamcast) are mandatory.


Once these procedures are done, we will inform you about the results on our Twitter or Facebook pages.


Have a nice day and thanks again for supporting the Dreamcast scene!

[CMcK]

Cheers for posting that. I ordered the game ages back but don't seem to receive those update emails.

[Super Grover]

Not a problem.

I'll pm you their Twitter/Facebook accounts so you can keep upto speed, later on today.

[CMcK]

Thanks for the offer but I don't use any social networking sites.

[Super Grover]

You are a wise man, sir!

I'll update this thread as and when.

Update

Dear redspotgames customers and fans


In our last newsletter we have talked about the evaluation of the Sturmwind test CD-ROMs. These have been completed by now. Like we have thought due to our experience, the first run won't be the final run.


Compatibility issues occurred that made it impossible for us to continue with the production. It's the first Dreamcast project we're realizing with this new CD-ROM facility and the first Dreamcast project for them in general.


Good news are: We have worked on an update, which the CD factory has received in the meanwhile. They will work hard between the Christmas holidays to manufacture a new set of test CD-ROMs. We also will invest extra work during the holidays. Things are looking good.


As always: We will keep you informed on both our Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as with this customer newsletter.
We wish you a merry Christmas, beautiful holidays with the family and thanks again - for supporting the Dreamcast scene!

[CMcK]

Thanks for the update. Hopefully won't take too much longer now.
