Well, a few words on our project.
All lights are green, we simply wait for a few things to be checked. Contact to EA was made, but until now we don't get a real answer. Even if they stands in our way, we still can offer them this work - for now all they said was: 100k $ - and we have a deal.
Book One "The Awakening - Storm" mainly tells the story of Ser Deacan Tron, his fight against a mercenaries guild and the strange behaivior of a pirate clan...
Book Two "The Awakening - Silence" take place 6 mounths later. The system tried to come to rest, but new and even more strange things happens - I don't tell you to much, when I say that even Ser Hassan is on the run...
This work has now hit page 251 (!), there are just 80 pages to go.
Book Three "The Awakening - Mindfire" closes the circle. After 8 years, our hero "Deacan" is forced to take his seat inside his Duress again, an old friends runs away from a hospital on Crius, but this person is not clearly "awaken", but more like "asleep" - so the storm raises again through the system...
Book Three is on an early stage, but the script is complete.
We do our best to go forward, but we all have a life aside from Privateer, a family and - "most disturbing" (okay, it's a joke) - a job to do. So time is barely rare...
But we need to say thanks - to all of you, to any people who supports us over the last mounths.
For instance: my search for a publisher was quite like hell - most publisher here in germany wants only one thing, and it's called money. And given away more than 2500 Euro just to print 100 copies and - at the same time - give away your brainchild for nothing (you don't even have the right to force them to do some advertise!), because they claimed this work as "they own" (for the normal time of copyright, thats are my complete lifetime and 75 years after my death) is anything but fun...
The cardgame also grows up. We have now a complete list of all vessels (thanks to the WCNEWS-TEAM) and we found a way to "fit" the big ships in our playsystem. Hudson did a fine job.
Just stay tuned. Our homepage is in the works, you can see a "placeholder" here:

Best regards, Deacan
