"We simply wouldn't allow ourselves to be so discouraged by a failed Kickstarter as to fully abandon our project. We are still exploring other funding options and alternatives which we will announce soon. In the meantime, we have been working hard on new assets for the game - in our spare time that is - and there's a whole new stage pretty much finished as we speak. Xenocider was simply never gone. And neither is AMEBA, for that matter."
- Carlos Oliveros, Retro Sumus
This is fantastic news as Xenocider was shaping up to be one of the Dreamcast's most promising titles and as the demo showed, the bespoke 3D engine looked like it was going to deliver something new to the scene.
The comment on AMEBA adds further intrigue, as many people (including myself) had assumed work on the detective story had ceased in favour of Xenocider...but apparently not. Either way, this news is very promising and Retro Sumus has released the following YouTube teaser clip showing off a new enemy type not seen in the demo:
Carlos assures me that further details regarding the game's continued development will be released in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned as we'll be bringing you more exclusive news on both Xenocider and AMEBA as we get it!
