Precursor Games has put Shadow of the Eternals on hold. The company attempted to raise money through the project through two Kickstarters, but neither campaign met its funding goal.
A message posted on the official Shadow of the Eternals forum from Denis Dyack apparently confirms that the game isn’t dead. Dyack, however, did not say if and when it could return.
Dyack’s message in full reads:
Back in early 2007, a contest was held by the “Morning Rave” show on KDND in Sacramento which gave the participants an opportunity to win a Wii by drinking the most water without going to the bathroom. This was when the console was still tough to find, so people were willing to go to some… odd measures in order to secure one for themselves.
Sadly, the Morning Rave’s “Hold Your Wee For A Wii” contest resulted in a terrible happening. Contestant Jennifer Lea Strange passed away due to water intoxication.
The situation was thought to be over after a jury awarded $16,577,188 damages against KDND. However, we’re now hearing that the radio station may lose its licence.
The Drum reports that the Sacramento Media Group and the Media Action Center intend to file legal challenges with the US Federal Communications Commission prior to November 1 – the official deadline – in hopes of contesting the station’s pending eight-year broadcast license renewal. We should find out about any rulings following this date.
Along with the footage above, Ping 2 has received a new subtitle.

Official Title will be "Ping 2: Attack of the Spheres!".

Not many people own this particular version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, but I must give it my recommendation if you willing to take the time to learn it; it’s pretty darn good as an arcade-y racer. The glitches I cannot be quite as positive about, but I think we had some good fun here either which way! Enjoy. :]
Heart Machine’s 2D action RPG “Hyper Light Drifter” may make its way to Wii U.
The developer posted a new message on the game’s Kickstarter yesterday, and noted that its new game could hit Nintendo’s console if funds reach $500,000. A Wii U version would “be possible”, according to the developer.
The message in full states:
“We’ve had a lot of request for Wii U support. We hear you! It’s a platform that deserves some love, and we’re currently in talks with Nintendo directly on the subject. I think if we can reach the $500,000 goal it will be possible – though keep in mind that any new platform costs a fair amount of money and time to QA and port over/translate, with their own set of requirements, so it’s not as simple as one would hope. We’ll keep everyone updated as we continue to push for this gem of a platform.”
Hyper Light Drifter has raised a little over $325,000 on Kickstarter thus far. There are two weeks remaining, so hitting $500,000 may not be too far-fetched.
