Finally, we have an interview with two folks from REDFlame Interactive. We are not responsible for bite-marks or claw-scrapes you may suffer while in their presence.

Thanks for all your patience and support. You're the reason we're doing this, after all. Keep checking back for more, we're just beginning!

More testing for Deception!

Strands of Destiny: Deception delayed for additional testing!

You read right! Well, we took a hard look at our schedule and decided to do more "apple polishing". We love what we have, but, we want to go through it a few more times with some different ideas and make it feel amazing. It already makes us proud, but we want you to really feel as if you are there.

The Witcher is a hard standard to beat for immersion and high quality. Due to the nature of custom content compatibility, we will not be satisfied until you have the very best we can give, and this will take just a little more time.

We feel that, though we wish we could release this now, we do not have anything to apologise for. We keep going because we respect you as the community and with just a little more olbow-grease we can make this not just the first, not just impressive, but also a hell of a lot of fun.

So: each day, we are going to kick the drowner until he sings like an angel. Take heart, everyone! We're trying some new methods and some new approaches.

We promise: it's soon, but just not as soon as we'd hoped.

Thanks for understanding! We'll keep dishing out tidbits and previews, don't worry.

The Witcher Week Day 1

The Witcher Week starts Monday

To prepare for the launch of Deception on June 13th, we are setting up The Witcher Week starting this Monday. Each day, we will launch some new media and content to the community. In preparation of next week, we have taken down our current concept art area and will be launching a completely new area when Deception launches.

As a small teaser, we have included a new wallpaper for Strands of Destiny that you can download and use here.

REDFlame Presents "Deception"

REDFlame Interactive announces the incoming launch of "Deception", a mod based in the town of Carreas. It will be launching officially on June 13th. We will also be launching an Arena-based mod, which is currently unnamed, in the next month.

Both mods will allow hours of fun, and also allow the community to see how many aspects of the Djinni toolset function. All parts of either mod will be complete modular and in source formats, which will allow everyone to use parts for their own adventures.
