The new title is going to be Quarantined and the focus is shifting from making a 'Shock fangame in the System Shock universe to making an original, commercially viable scifi action RPG that takes its primary inspiration from the 'Shock series of games. To be due out in, at most, 36 days and still not have a release date is another pink flag, and this one is very dark.Hey so based on the lack of attention/traction/engagement/notice/feedback Retro Shock has gotten, I'm going to be changing the title and the focus sooner rather than later. I want to like it too, but one peek behind the scenes and things don't seem as solid as they should. Night Dive didn't make System Shock, but it's hard to deny it loves System Shock. The demo played well enough when I first dabbled with it, and if you're going to remake something, it might as well be a forgotten classic crowd-sourced by a medium sized studio dedicated to doing right by the series. There are just a lot of pink flags, and when you raise them all up as one, they look red.
For the most part, it's not the people who made the game that was central to generating backers in the first place. Citing "feature creep" at the Games Development Conference in 2018, the game's leads stated development had restarted and a newly assembled team would be moving forward with the project. Of course, Avellone is just one man, he's no longer there, and he wasn't part of the Enhanced Edition team which proved Night Dive had the pedigree for this.
