Shelter 2 protects baby lynx in 2015, dev teases new game
We'll have to wait until Q1 2015 to prove our paws hands at lynx motherhood in Shelter 2, as developer Might and Delight has delayed the PC adventure due to "persistent bugs" and to allow time for a new, separate project. "We are experimenting with a type of game that we have never created before," Might and Delight explained on Facebook, offering a teaser image of the game's production. Between the strange object, green screen paint and hot glue gun shown in the photo of an apparent workshop, we can believe Might and Delight's assurance that it's a new direction for the studio. Whatever the new project is, Might and Delight noted it's in full development and planned to release "very soon this year." [Image: Might and Delight]

Realtime Worlds to announce second MMO project next year
Not one, but two MMOs are to come out of Realtime Worlds, the Scotland based developer of All Points Bulletin. Even more intriguingly, this second MMO is actually the company's original MMO project!According to Realtime's CEO, Dave Jones, during his keynote speech at GameHorizon, their original investment drive of 30 million dollars was actually for their new product, this unnamed MMO. However, due to the ambitious nature of the project, All Points Bulletin was moved forwards in the production list to give the company a solid foundation before moving onwards. While all details of this next project remain a mystery, Jones has said that the company is very excited to move fowards with this next project, their original MMO project. While we can't first hand attest to how ambitious this project is, we believe that actually moving your project backwards just so you can get another MMO out first really says something about how ambitious the project is.
