Forum was hacked!
28 August, 2005 - Well, the worst thing that could happen has happened. Someone going by the alias NetD00m sent out the following e-mail, which was sent out through the Mass Email funtion of the boards -

Shandra fixed the havoc wrecked by the Hacker, and sent out the following message:

PK's very own Chat Room!
17 August, 2005 - Hello all! PK now has it's very own chatroom. For now, it's just a place to hang, but later in the future, we'll have set chat times and RP sessions. The same rules for the forum apply to the Great Hall.

PK interviewed by Fanventures.com
21 July, 2005 - Alliance and Bromios of Fanventures, the first website for FanGame fans, has interviewed Shandra, Spearflight and myself on the background and information on Project Katrina! We're honoured that they took the time to interview us, and hopefully this will get more word out about the game. This is exactly what all our fans have been waiting for! You can visit the interview HERE, at Fanventures, or read it at our FAQ's page.

I've also updated the media gallery to contain all submitted works from Corby! I'm sure you'll all enjoy them.

Finally, a decent site!
21 July, 2005 - So, work's been rather fun... I'm working part time, and getting roughly 35 hours, but this new job amazingly ties into the plans of Project Katrina remarkably!

In other new, you've probably noticed a rather extreme change here, by way of a better looking site! YAY! I laboured over this thing for weeks, tweeking this, fixing that, kicking that damn Internet Explorer for not displaying PNG's right after I finished the site, and then going through and changing all the PNG files to GIF...

Anywho, some major brainstorming has been going on backstage, and I'm quite proud of the progress we're getting, for being a game done in the freetime of the members... If we were a professional developer, we'd have kicked out about 3 major games, with 5 expansions each, in the time we've been alive, dead, kicked, woken up, burried alive, and then clawed our way out to the surface, which is where we are now.

Character histories are being fleshed out, as well as further plot! Finally, some headway! YAY!

As always - any comments or questions should be directed to me, Shandra or Spearflight via the FORUM.

An Announcment Regarding "Silver Sphinx Studios"
3 April, 2005 - Anyways - if you'd have been to the site within the past four days, you'd probably noticed the suddent announcement of PK joining with a few of the other Fan Projects out there to create the "Über FanGame" titled "Hero of Infamous Kingdoms" by "Silver Sphinx Studios".

I can now honestly say that "This is all false, we decieved you..." But hey - what do you expect for the most elaboratly done April Fools joke the QfG community has ever seen! (ADGI's release of the KQ2 voicepack doesn't count. It was meant to be done and released on April 1st... This was all planned for a prank :P Below is the press release announcing that it *was* all a prank...

On 31 March, Codename Entertainment, Hero6, Infamous Adventures, Project Katrina, and Solar Crescent Studios reportedly merged to form Silver Sphinx Studios.

A demo was then released and much to many people's dismay, it was unclear what the status of the respective projects would be. There was a lot of alarm, not to mention loyal fans who were shocked, upset or even horrified that the creators of the projects would even permit this to happen.

Quite a number agreed that if this was a prank, it was poorly orchestrated. And yet many others did enjoy it, while some were extremely unhappy with the quality of the game even though it was evident that this was really a prank!

But, hardly anyone knew that SSS was actually part of a larger prank, that we would go as far as getting one of SSS' team members to masquerade as "ahem" Cain Aleksandrovich. Yes, folks, the part about him being kicked out of the IA team was not true.

Anyway, we would like to state that everyone had a fun time collaborating on this project. We actually meant for it to showcase our work created so far, and for people to actually have some fun.

SSS would like to thank the administrators and moderators of AGDI forums who were unwittingly pulled into this joke against their will, all members of all the respective projects who contributed to this project, everyone who played along with us, and all the loyal fans of all the projects for putting up with this.

Q: How could you call this an April Fool's joke even though it was released on 31 March?

A: This is because in some places in the world, it was already 1st April.

Q: "Aha! I was right. It was a prank all along!!"

A: Yes, you're very clever. Would you like a cookie?

Q: How long did it take to put out the project?

A: The idea was set in stone on March 4th, which makes it almost exactly one month of sleepless nights, culling it all together

So - as you can see - we all lied... but it was all in good fun!
