Basilisk Games Projects Update
So we had our fun on April 1st, but that ended up just triggering a bunch of emails from people wanting a real update on our real projects. I guess it’s the least we can do!
Book III remains officially unannounced, but we are certainly hard at work on it. For the final game in the trilogy, the size of the team has grown and we are giddy with excitement to show you what we are working on! However, don’t expect to hear much more or see any screenshots until we make an formal announcement later this summer. As for a release date, it’s definitely not going to be this year, so let’s just go with “when it’s done.”
There are always other projects simmering here at the studio, and we hope to make an announcement regarding our first post-Eschalon project soon. Many of you have heard rumors that we have been working on a Sci-Fi based RPG for quite some time, and that is true, though we are not prepared just yet to say that is what’s coming next. Just keep an eye on our forums, Twitter feed or Facebook page because those are the places we tend to “slip” information about what projects we playing around with day-to-day.

Book Zero Update
Okay, we thought we’d better post a disclaimer for the three of you that emailed us (and those who didn’t) who were very upset that we decided to turn the Eschalon series into a JRPG clone. It was a joke, for all of you April fools. Thanks much to Inverse Phase for the cool chiptune of the Eschalon theme.
