Wheel of Time Development Update

Wheel of Time Development Update is the business side of the news today, and this one has the usual late-90s mix of studios, publishing deals, lawsuits, money, and big promises.

The important bit: The Official Wheel of Time web site has been updated with a development update. They discuss all the latest developments of Wheel of Time and have said that they said that they are close to alpha, so by necessity, lots of elements of the game are falling into place. They have also hired Joel Walden, an experienced texture artist.

It is not as fun as a new demo, but these moves decide what games actually get made, sold, patched, or buried. Ignore the suits and you miss half the story.
